This broom took me a little while to make, but it involves paint drying and that's a big part of the time. Other than that it's fairly simple. I bought the broom at JoAnne's in case you're wondering. It's pretty cute and sparkly in person :)
Supplies Needed:
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill
Glue Arts U-Cut It foam adhesive
Echo Park Happy Halloween collection
4-5 yards of 2” wide black ribbon
Broom
Wooden letters for BOO
Staple gun and staples
Buttons
Embroidery thread and needle
Black paint and brush
Black pen
Scissors
Craft knife
Sandpaper
Pencil
Instructions:
1. Use the black paint to paint the edges of the letters and allow to dry.
2. Trace the letters onto the wrong side of the papers with the pencil and cut out using the scissors and craft knife.
3. Attach papers to the letters using the Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Sand the edges to get a smooth finish.
4. Add the sticker to the letter B and trace with a black pen. For the other letters, attach the stickers to scraps of paper, then cut out and attach to the letters using Glue Arts U-Cut It foam adhesive.
5. Tie the embroidery floss through the centers of all the buttons. Attach buttons to the letters using Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
6. Fold one-yard pieces of the ribbon in half, and staple the center of the fold to the backs of the letters. Tie the ribbon into knots , then staple through the knots to the broom. Tie a second knot and trim the ribbon ends. Attach a button to each knot with Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
7. Tie a bow around the broom bristles and trim the ends of the ribbon.
This treat basket is the easiest thing to make! I found the basket in the $2.50 section at Target. I like making things like this with my scraps and leftovers after I'm done with a bigger project.
Treat Basket by Jessica Barnett
Supplies Needed:
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac refill
Echo Park Happy Halloween collection
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Spellbinders Nestabilities scalloped circle die
Black chalk ink
Ringed Basket
Ruler
Bone folder and scoring board
Hot Glue gun
Instructions:
1. Use the ruler to measure the height of the two rings on the basket. Cut two strips from two different patterned papers that are 12 inches long and are a little less tall than the measurement.
2. Ink the edges of the papers with the chalk ink, then attach them to the basket using the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Use small Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares on the ends for an extra secure hold.
3. Cut two strips from a third color of paper that are 12 by 1.5 inches. Score every half inch, and accordion fold. Ink the edges and creases with chalk ink. Trim the ends of the folds at an angle to get the points. Attach the ends to each other with the Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Shape into a circle and attach to a scrap circle of paper using the hot glue gun.
4. Cut out a scalloped circle with the Nestabilities dies that is just larger than the Oct. 31 sticker and ink the edges. Attach the sticker to the center and use Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares to attach to the piece made in step 3, then attach the piece to the front of the basket with the hot glue gun.
