Fall Crafts (Halloween)

Planning on having a Halloween party? Make your own favor bags and seasonal ornaments with the kids. For the tree, spray paint a branch black; wedge into a flower bucket filled with rocks. Cover with Spanish moss, and stretch craft-store cobwebs between the branches.

Ornament and Favor How-To's
1. For each ornament, trace template onto construction paper seven times.

2. Cut out. Stack pieces, and punch holes through both ends with a small hole punch; insert a black or orange paper fastener into each hole.

3. Bend stack into a C shape; fan out pieces to form a globe. Glue on paper features (for cat's ears, fold bottom under to make a tab). For favors, stamp mini paper bags with names. Using pinking shears, cut traced circles out of paper. Fill bags; fold over tops. Place a circle on each; punch a hole through all layers. Tie on yarn for hanging.
