Test Tube Treats

After posting my GROSS Halloween treats, I fell in love with the test tubes! So, today I was back on pinterest looking for some cute test tube treats. I was shocked at how many they had. So, you know me... I'm going to post them all! :)

So, where do these people find the test tubes?

Hobby Lobby

Michaels

Amazon

I think I may have to take a trip over to a craft store and stock up!

How cute are these?

Gross Halloween Goodies

(don't say you haven't been warned!)

While searching on pinterest tonight, I came across a ton of spooky goodies for Halloween! Why is it that Halloween has to have a "gross side" to it. Can't it all be about pumpkins and candy corn? Nope! So, if you have a weak stomach, this post may not be for you. :)

Ghost Poop Soup!

Made By Me Monday

(one of my favorites!)

Supplies needed:

cups/mugs

vinyl dots

ribbon

hot chocolate

marshmallows

tag

I found these adorable black cups at the thrift store this week. They were .69 cents each! I love the detail on the top! So, I bought up 6 of them!

 My brain started working and thinking what I could do with them. And then, the thought came to me...  neighbor gift! So, I cut out some vinyl dots on my vinyl machine. I wanted to do colors other than orange. So, I've discovered that colors that are "okay" for Halloween are these...

We polka dotted the cups with our vinyl dots and added some cute matching ribbon to the handles.

You can find cute Halloween ribbon anywhere! :)

Add some hot chocolate mix.

add in some GHOST POOP marshmallows of course!

And that's what we call

Ghost Poop Soup!

I made 6 of these in less that 10 minutes!

EASY peasy!! You can find black mugs at any thrift store and cute Halloween ribbon at any craft store. This whole project was under $1.00 each.

Happy Monday!

Made By Me Monday!

_______________________

These are SOOO fun and super easy to make! This is a perfect craft to let you kids help you with. Throughout this tutorial, you will be seeing pictures of MY candy corn and my the one my 5 year old painted. Let's see if you can tell the difference! :)

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

2x4's

paint

stain

sandpaper

5 year old helper

cut your 2x4's into triangles, AKA candy corn shapes!

By the way... next time I do this project, I will cut my candy corn a little skinnier at the top.

sand them down

paint your first layer white 

paint the second layer orange

final color, yellow

he's so proud!

let dry and then distress it a bit

add some stain to make it look better aged 

or if you don't want to add stain, you can draw on a Sharpie face!

... and always, always, always add bling!

add some ribbon if you'd like

can you guess which one is done by the 5 year old?

This was such a fun project to do! I am thinking of making a bunch of them and wrap them in clear bags for Halloween gifts for teachers and visiting teachers. Perfect!!
