Days Until Wood Sign

I made a really fun Days Until wood sign.  The cardstock numbers are held on by cup hooks.

Adult Harry Potter Robe from a Twin Sheet

I purchased one black twin sheet for $5

and with the following instructions was able to make an adult Harry Potter Robe.  I also made a blue lining one for the Ravenclaw House.  First I took out the large top seam of the sheet to give me a few more inches that are needed.  Then I folded the sheet as follows and cut:

  The robe/cloak is the larger piece and the sleeves are the 17 inch piece.  The sleeves need to be cut apart and the extra piece is for the hood.  Once my pieces were cut out I sewed as follows:

Bring edges to the center of cloak/robe piece.  Sew the shoulder together & sew on hood after sewing the shoulders together.  Sew the seams of the sleeves and attach to the cloak piece were you made slits for the sleeve (arm hole).

*To add lining, make two identical robes and put right sides together and sew around the front & hood piece to finish.  Turn the cloak right side out.  Trim the sleeves to the correct length for your arms (I cut off 4 inches).  Iron a 1/4 inch seam allowance at the end of the sleeves and sew lining together with robe.  

** The Ravenclaw crest is from a napkin and I laminated it.  I will sew it on, or glue it on, or wait for an iron on patch.

***Can also attach a button or hook/eye, etc to the robe/cloak to keep closed.

Doll Candy

My kids and I made candy for their 18"doll's.  I cut 2" squares from a plastic sandwich bag.  I wrapped beads in the squares with a little dab of hot glue.  I then rolled the ends to look like a candy wrapper.  We filled a tiny pumpkin bucket for Halloween play.

DIY Doll Masks from Craft Foam

To make easy doll masks I cut fun shapes from craft foam.  Figured out where the eye holes should go and cut out.  My daughter and her friends decorated them with glitter, feathers, craft foam cutouts, etc.  We also made mouse ears with craft foam.  To ensure the elastic doesn't rip out of the foam masks after lots of play I added small paper crafting grommets before tying the elastic.

Print this fun label for booing you neighbor's with treats. Here are the directions. I made this for my husband. I don't like getting anonymous gifts. Brown Paper Packages has another version here.

Whimsical Witch Legs

With instructions from here I made my own witch legs.  I purchased an unbrella from the Dollar Store and the legs are made from a scarf also for $1.  The scarf I cut in half and safty pined to the under side of the unbrella.  It was super easy and fun.
