Moving To Domain

This is to let all frequent visitors and new visitors alike that this blog will no longer be updated. I have decided to go with my own domain name that you can find at www.EasyKidsCrafts.net I hope to see you all there. This is still a work in progress and I believe will turn out to be far better and more functional for my viewers.
Thank You, and please continue supporting us!!

CRAFT MATERIALS:
Black construction paper
Clear plastic report cover
Black permanent marker
Duct tape
Wooden paint stirrer
Flashlight

1. Cut a ghost shape out of the center of the construction paper sheet, then slip the sheet into the report cover.

2. Draw the ghost’s eyes and mouth directly on the plastic. Now tape the side of the cover to the paint stirrer. In a dark room, hold the sheet in front of a lit flashlight, adjusting the distance between them as needed to project the ghostly image onto a bare wall.

Ghostly Seating Chair Covers

Ghostly seating Chair Covers

Simple chair covers for Halloween, and customizeable for any celebration at home or school.

CRAFT MATERIALS:
Felt
Fabric glue or needle and thread
Pins
Repositionable glue (we used nontoxic Aleene’s Spritz-On Reposition-It Tacky Glue, available at craft stores)


1. The Slipcover:
First, decide how far down the back of your chair you want the slipcover to hang. Measure from that point up and over the top of the chair, then down to the seat (or stop at the arms if your chair has them). This is the total length of felt you’ll need for each cover. Now measure the width of the chair back at its widest point; add to that measurement the thickness of the chair back and 1 inch for the seams (1/2 inch per side).

2. For each chair, cut a piece of white felt to fit your measurements. Ours ran 1 1/2 yards long and 2/3 yard wide.

3. Fold the felt over the chair and pin the sides in place. Remove the cover and sew up the sides or glue them together with fabric glue. If you sew them, turn the cover inside out.

4. The Decorations- Create a template of any kind of design you want on it.

5. Trace the templates on to felt (or other lightweight materials such as ribbon) and then cut them out. (We glued white felt pupils onto the black eyes.) Dimensions will depend on the size of your chair covers.

6. Spray the back of each piece with a thin layer of repositionable glue, then press them onto the slipcovers or layer them on top of one another.

7. Store the pieces in plastic bags, preferably with the sticky sides facing away from one another. Next time you use them, spritz on another layer of glue.

Halloween Craft E-Books

Below you will find a list of Halloween Craft E-Books that I’ve been able to find across the internet. These are easy craft projects kids will love. If you don’t know what an e-book is, it is normally a .pdf file that you download onto your computer immediately after purchase. It sure beats going to the bookstore, and a whole lot quicker than ordering a binded book from the internet.
