Hi GingerScrapers! I know..I know..I have missed a few Crafty Thursdays…I’m sorry! I have been so busy. I am the team Mom for the Freshmen Football team…our games are on Thursdays. But, not only is it the games, we feed the team and caoches before each game. It’s a big meal and I’m in charge of it! I have to be at the school at 7am to collect all the food from the players. Make sure the food all gets warmed up by the lunch ladies, then serve the food at 2…game time at 5. So, what I’m saying here is…I’m a busy girl during Football sason 🙂 This week my kids don’t have school. We still have a football game though, but I dont have to collect the food until noon:) So, I figured I would do a little Let’s Get Crafty post for you!
Halloween is in like 10 days. I went online to find some cheap and easy Halloween projects to do with my kids and I am going to share them with you!
This first one is a great way to use up all those baby food jars you have laying around..
It’s super easy and fun to make with the kiddos. Go to Skip to my Lou for a tutorial.
How about a spooky tree…
You can get instructions and templates for this one here
How about a cute fabric banner…
You can learn how to make this on Running With Needles
How about making a “Hybrid Banner” Instead of fabric, use your digital scrapbooking supplies! There are so many cute Halloween kits at GingerScraps you could use! How about I give you a free template to make yourself a banner 🙂
I used the kit Gobblin Delights which is a GingerScraps collab that you will be able to get at our Halloween party next weekend! I use Statements by Jodis part for my banner:) Make sure you come to our Halloween Party at GingerScraps to get this kit and lots of fun games and prizes!
You can download your Free Template here!
I hope you make some time to get Crafty today! See you at the Halloween Party

Hi, just a quick tip…I have been involved in the making of button bracelets. We found that using regular old dental floss was very quick, you pull it thru once in each hole and tie off the end 2 or 3 times. It’s actually stronger than thread and works great on any button replacing.
