Creepy Soap

The kids didn’t have school yesterday, so we made some Halloween crafts.  First we made creep soap, or as my almost 18 month old calls them “scary”

051

My mom had given me this hunk of clear soap, so we decided to use it for our project.  All you have to do is melt it in the microwave.  Then you add any color or scent you want.

014

She had also given me some soap dye and some soap sent.  So we used those too.

015

We found some severed body parts and the Dollar Store, we also used a severed finger mold and some plastic spiders, bats, rats etc.

We put the severed body parts into a muffin pan, and then covered them with the soap.  Some parts we covered completely, and some we left a bit of them showing.

Then you let them harden, it actually doesn’t take that long.

The kids love, them and they can’t seem to stop washing their hands Smile 

We also made some Halloween bows for the girls. I found these little guys, on clearance last year @ Michaels and I thought that they would make perfect bow centers, so I got a  pack of them for about 40 cents.

I wanted to find some ribbon that wasn’t just the typical black and orange.  I love how this one turned out!

And we did do some that were black and orange.

We had a pretty great day.

Melted Witch Cookies

On the first Monday of the month in October our family has a little secret tradition.  I can’t tell you what it is, because it’s a secret.  BUT I will tell you it’s lots of fun and involves delivering Halloween goodies to our friends and neighbors.  This year we made melted witch cookies for that tradition.

You’ll Need

  • Round sugar cookies
  • Green cookie icing
  • Black cookie icing
  • Round sprinkles
  • Chocolate Bugles (chips)
  • Mini Oreo’s
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Triscuit Crackers

092

First take your sugar cookie and make a green puddle.

093

Then add the witch hat.  To make the hat use half of a mini Oreo and 3/4 of a chocolate Bugle. Then cover the Bugle with black cookie icing and add a round sprinkle for the buckle on the hat.

094

Add the broom.  Make the broom by using more cookie icing to adhere  broken pieces of Triscuit crackers to a pretzel stick. (Someone also added eyes to this one.)

Last Minute Halloween

My mom sent me the cutest Frankenstein Halloween treat box inspired by a take-out container.  When I saw it I knew the possibilities could be endless.  I have lots of other ideas to explore but here are the ones I’ve done so far.
