Halloween Crafts Part 2: Footprint Ghosts and Colorful Jack-O-Lanterns!

       Since the boys decided the house needed more decorations, I went back to Pinterest and found two more things we could try. The first thing we worked on was the Colorful Jack-O-Lanterns! Here is where I found the idea: http://kidsactivitiesblog.com/47751/halloween-art-project. First we got out some coffee filters, drew on them however they wanted with markers, then sprayed them with water so the colors spread. After we let it dry, We just taped them to the back of some Jack-O-Lantern faces I cut out and voila! Super cute pumpkin!
     Next, we made our Footprint Ghosts! I didn't have white paint, so I figured in the spirit of Halloween, we'd just go with orange! Well... I didn't remember until I was getting everything set up that when I bought paint, I only bought big bottles of the primary colors figuring I could just mix up any other color I need. Well... when I had that plan... apparently I forgot my serious lack of artistic talent,,, and no matter how hard I tried... orange turned out too red, but close enough... lol.  Here's the link for this one: http://www.craftymorning.com/footprint-ghost-craft-kids/. Anyway, I mixed up the paint, put it in a metal tin, put down a paper and made our footprints! Once they dried I outlined them and drew faces on them and we had some awesome ghosts! Now our house, (I think anyway) is decorated and ready for Halloween! :-)
