Jack Skellington Halloween String Garland.....

What you'll need:

white cotton string

black felt

water balloons

liquid fabric starch

regular paper or cardstock

scissors

Have fun creating:

Blow up you water balloons so they are about 4" wide

and tie off the ends.

Cut the white cotton string into long lengths about 5'

long. You can always cut more.

Using the black felt created his eyes, nose and mouth.

You will need all facial features for each

string ball you want to make.

Pour liquid starch into a bowl. Place your balloon into the bowl.

Dip the ends of your 5' white string into the bowl and

wrap the string around your balloon, soaking the

string in the starch before you wrap. Add more lengths

of white string. Once the balloon resembles a very

messy spider web, hang the balloon up to dry.

Place paper towel or craft paper under the balloons as they will drip.

Cut a piece of string about 1' long and tie one

end to the end of the balloon. You will use this string

to hang your balloon so it can dry.

Repeat this process for each ball you wish to

create for your garland.

Once all the string balls are dry, pop the balloons and

pull them out through a gap in the string. Glue on his eyes,

mouth and nose to each string ball.

Tie them to a long ribbon, yarn or string garland and

evenly space them out. Cut off extra string after

you have tied them into place.

I actually made these one year for my son's birthday.

His birthday is in October so we had a Halloween

themed birthday. These are easy to make and you

can have the kids help you.

Ingredients:

Box of chocolate cake mix

2 toothpicks

white buttercream frosting (or any white frosting you like)

tube of black decorator's icing

black cupcake liners

Create:

Cook cupcakes according to package directions

and then let cool completely.

Frost your cupcakes, for each cupcake use the tip of a

toothpick to lightly etch the outline of two large Jack eyes.

Slowly pipe black decorator's icing onto the etched lines

and then fill in the inner circles. Use another toothpick

to spread and smooth icing.

Pipe on two short lines for his nose. Next pipe a long

line across the bottom of the cupcake for the mouth.

For the finishing spooky touch, randomly top the mouth

with a bunch of short icing barbs.

Now what movie to watch.... of course, The Nightmare Before Christmas

Have a fun filled family day😀
