October recap

OK, I know it is the last day in November, but at least I managed to post Octobers crafts before December right?  Here are a couple things we worked on:

A picture frame:

Here are the supplies we used:

The frame was a basic wooden frame that cost $1 at Michaels,  and I got the eyes for $1 at our local Dollar Tree.  The rest of the supplies I had on hand. 
 Crafts are such much more fun when B can get involved and do parts of it himself.

He painted the whole thing all on his own.  Then he handed me the eyes because I used a hot glue gun to stick them on.  The letters are chipboard that I covered with scrapbook paper and then I added a ribbon that says "Happy Halloween".  This was a really simple and cheap craft that we got to do together. 

The next craft I made after Halloween so that I could get all the supplies for really cheap. 

Here are the supplies I used:  Popsicle sticks: $1 at the dollar store, 2 packs of mini pumpkins and one large pumpkin to hold everything (which were all 75% off at Walmart so between .25 to .50 each). 

Then on the back of the mini pumpkins I wrote a number 1-15 on each of them.

Then I on the sticks I did all possible math equations that could add up to that number. 

The end result is a addition game where B has to add up the 2 numbers on the sticks and stick them in the right pumpkin. 

We also painted pumpkins together like we do every year

We did the Brutus and the witch (minus her hat which was added later because it was still in storage with the Halloween supplies because I buy them on clearance for around .50 after Halloween) Something new we did this year was make a mummy pumpkin using a roll of gauze ($1 at the dollar store).  and used red puffy paint for the eyes. 
I also decided it would be fun to carve a pumpkin but B thought it was disgusting and wanted no part of it so I ended up doing it all by myself. 

He did enjoy putting a new candle and lighting it up every night though. 

Well that pretty much sums up my October crafting, I have so many crafts/scrapbooks to get done in December and they are Christmas presents so they have to get done... wish me luck.
