DIY Halloween Candy

It's easy to make homemade candy. All it takes is a little chocolate and some molds. Oh yeah, you'll need some lollypop sticks or even shishkabob skewers will work.

You simple grease the mold.

And I put some candies in for the eyes.

Then you pour your melted chocolate into the molds.

You can use white chocolate and a little food coloring to make different colors of candies

And when you unmold them, you might need to trim some excess away.

Then put them in a vase and you have a fun holiday arrangement.

Super cute and super fun

BOOquet

I wanted to make a couple bouquets for Halloween but these turned out to be BOOquets.

Here's how I did it.

First you can buy a flower pot or decorate your own. You could glue buttons, tiles, broken glass or anything you like on the pot or even paint it.

Then I cut out construction paper to go over the floral foam.

I took some ghost and pumpkin peeps and stuck them on bamboo skewers and started building my Boo...quet.

I added a couple little tags of Beware or bats.

It was super simple. I even added a couple spiders. It turned out just Bootiful ;D

Happy HALLOWEEN . . . Hands?

How 'bout a little candy corn you can carry around with you wherever you go this Holiday season?

Here's how I made my Happy Halloween Hands.

First I started with a coat of white paint.

Then I put a little coat of yellow at the bottom.

Then I finished with a middle coat of orange.

And Happy Halloween!

What an easy fun way to decorate for the holiday!

Archery

I've always thought it would be fun to learn how to shoot arrows with some sort of precision. So, when I saw the course for adults that would only take a one day commitment, I was all for it especially since it only took a one-day time frame.

This class will teach us all the basics. It's a seven hour course. And after this one day I should know whether or not I want to sign up for an 8 week course.

Minecraft DIY shirt

I wanted to make something special for my hubby and he LOVES Minecraft so this was simple to personalize.

All I did was take a sponge and some black paint.

I cut the sponge in half and inked one side.

Then I started stamping out the pattern on the front.

And I kept on going.

Until I finished the picture.

And  I think it turned out nicely.

Happy Boo...zeday - The Perfect Way to Celebrate turning 21..derful

Here's an easy way to celebrate  someone turning 21 with a booze bouquet. And what a perfect time of year to add a little extra BOOs to the pot.

Here's all you need:

INGREDIENTS FOR A BOOZEDAY BOUQUET - FOR A 21...DERFUL BIRTHDAY

1 Flower Pot
Flower foam
colored paper
ribbon
10 candy sticks - or bamboo skewers
5 mini bottles of alcohol
3-4 ghostly peeps

Take your empty flower pot and fill it with floral foam and tie a ribbon around the rim:
 

Then cover the foam with tissue paper, craft paper or even shredded paper:

I used numbered craft paper - because it seemed appropriate for a birthday celebration.

Next secure the alcohol minis to the candy sticks with tape.

After all the minis are secured to the candy sticks, pre-cut the holes in the paper for the sticks to poke through and start decorating the bouquet .

I added a few ghostly peeps to the mix to make it absolutely boo...tiful ;D

But you could use cookies or marshmallows or any kind of peeps.

Then I covered the little peeps in baggies so they wouldn't get dried out.

All-in-all I thought it turned out really boo...tiful :D

So CHEERS! and Happy Boo..ze...day
