Melissa and I got together for a Crafty Fun Night and we made these little candy baskets over two different nights. This idea came from the book
Halloween: 101 Frightfully Fun Ideas. I picked up this book at the Dakota Boys Ranch while we were Up North visiting cousin Stacy.
You basically make little pinatas with white water based glue and crepe paper. We painted on the glue and pasted little squares of cut up crepe streamers. They took 24 hours to fully dry but the balloons separated right out when we popped them.
We struggled installing grommets on each side and then strung craft wire through them before covering the wire in floral tape. The book idea involved cutting faces out of the crepe basket but we opted to instead draw faces on with permanent marker. I think they turned out really cute. Oh, and then of course we had to fill them with candy! ;) This was a really cute idea and these could be made for other holidays.
We worked on a few candle mats on the second night. Melissa found some really cute Halloween buttons and these were a fun festive activity.
