Are you looking for Halloween crafts? Check out some of my other fun Halloween projects…
For The Owl:
Supply List –
- Purple glitter paper
- Silver Glitter paper
- Gold glitter paper
- Warm Glue gun and glue sticks
- Orange glass beads – these come in bulk, and are sold as vase fillers – usually found in the floral section
- Black paper bag
- Little black paper dots – I used some from a bag of confetti. You can also use a hole punch to punch out black circles from black construction paper
- I flipped the purple paper to the back and drew wings with a pencil, and then cut those out.
- I used gold glitter paper for the nose – It’s just an oval that’s a little wider on the top
- I used silver glitter paper for the two ears, and glued those to the backside of the front of the bag, on either side of the handle
Eyes:
- Using the purple glitter paper – I cut out a circle a little larger than orange glass beads
- I used orange glass beads for the eyes
- I used black confetti dots for the center of the owl eye
For The Ghost:
Supply List:
- Craft clue
- Black Glitter
- Eyeballs
- Ribbon
- White Paper Bag
- I used glitter for the mouth – I used glue to make an oval shape for the mouth, and sprinkled black glitter
- I used oval google eyes for the ghost eyes and hot glued them
- I finished this ghost off with a purple hair ribbon tied to the handle of the bag
For The Bat:
Supply List:
- Liquid Craft glue
- Black felt
- Spray adhesive
- Green glass beads – find these in the floral department. They are usually called vase fillers
- Silver glitter
- Black paper bag
- I used green glass beads for the eyes – I hot glued them in place
- I used a black confetti dot for the center of the eye, and embellished it with silver glitter
- To make the fangs and the eyebrows, I drew the shapes of fangs and eyebrows on the bags with glue, and sprinkled silver glitter over the glue
- For the wings and bat ears, I cut black felt pieces to resemble bat wings, and black felt ears (basically a really tall and skinny triangle), then I sprayed – spray adhesive (you can also use hair spray) onto the felt, and sprinkled black glitter onto the felt pieces.
- Let those dry before gluing them on with hot glue
- Here’s a template for bat wings from DLTK
There you have it! A Scary Bat, Cute Ghost, And Mischievous Owl for your party! Enjoy!
