Halloween Blocks

I don't know about you but I am soooooooooooo in love with Halloween! It's my favorite holiday! (well besides Christmas of course!)

In our family we go all out for Halloween. Seriously! The house gets decorated from head to toe with all sorts of tastefully ghostly decor! From cheese cloth ghosts to vintage modge podged posters. It makes it a real treat to behold.

The greatest part is the big Halloween party at my Mothers house every year! We eat home made scones and chili, dress up, play games, watch movies and catch up. The kids even have fun as they trick or treat around the house to each door while filling their bags with goodies. So, I guess you can say that we are a little obsessed with it, but I don't care! Bring on the Halloween fun!

As the trick or treat day approaches I have decided to post some "oh so cute" and fun crafts we love to do to spook up your home. It will be a delight so take a peek of what's to come!

First we will start out with blocks... pyro style.

Materials:

Blocks of desired size (I got mine at Michaels... cheep)

Fun Halloween paper (enough to cover your blocks)

Mod Podge (I used Matte finish)

Paint brush or foam brush

Black Paint (or whatever Halloween color you wish)

Lighter

Paper towels (one for working mat, one for putting out fire)

Letter Cut Outs of "boo" (or whatever you want)

Step 1 : Paint Your Blocks

Paint your blocks so they are all one color. I painted mine black. :) Easy enough.

Step 2: Cut Cute Paper into Squares

Step 3: Burn Edges

I recommend doing this 3rd step outside with a cup of water handy. The smoke is disgusting. Anywho...

Simply take your lighter, light edges of square and blow out. Pat edge with paper towel and repeat until your edges have a burnt finish.

Step 4: Mod Podge Back and Front

Mod Podge back of cute paper, stick down and repeat on front of paper. Make sure to gently rub out any bubbles making sure the surface is flat.

Let them dry and mod podge your letters on! There you have it! Cute Boo Blocks for a Halloween party! Sounds like fun to me! Happy Scary Making!

Toy Story Potato Head

I had to put these up cause I loved how they turned out!

My little guy is obsessed with Toy Story! So we decided to have a Toy Story birthday party this year at the pool. He loved it! His favorite thing there... Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head cake pops! He played with them a little before he ate them. Haha!

Find out how to make them here with the wonderful Bakerella!

The only thing I did different was pipe on the arms and cute little necklace. I think it turned out cuter than a stick for an arm. (Thanks girls for helping!)

Hope you like em! My little guy sure did. Can't believe he's 3! Hoy!
