Halloween Decor

Tis the season for Halloween. Here is the decor that is surrounding the apartment at the moment. Anything to get ready for the Halloween season.

This is the bat mobile that I made for the Halloween season.

This is the Balloon Bat that I made to add to the decor of the Halloween season!

Manly Cupcakes!

How do you make cupcakes "Manly" when cupcakes are basically a nine-year old little girl who believes in Unicorns? So this is what I came up with. Blue with moca trim. This is as manly as I can get them without giving them steroids or injecting them with motor oil. (not the preferred cupcake filling by the way).

Bat Piñata

This is the Bat Piñata I made for our Halloween party. I used a punching balloon for the base, then did 5 layers of paper-mache and one layer of black crape paper. The final layer is also crape paper, but I cut it half way to make a " Hairy" affect.

The wings ears and face are black poster board. I decided to make it a pull string piñata so that I could use it for next years party too. The trap door bottom was a little tricky, but it will be worth it not to make an other next year.

I made little pouches out of orange crape paper for the candy and tied it up with green ribbon to make them look like little pumpkins.

Puppets! (Paper Bag Style)

The reason I made these is because Carsyn kept doing little hand puppets with her bare hand. I had left over felt so I decided to make her a dragon. Then the dragon came out so freaking cute that I decided to make a Princess. Now I think I need to make her a ship captain or a pirate, maybe a mermaid, I don't really know yet.
