Trick or Treat

Good evening

This evening thousands of children take to the streets to 'Trick or Treat' in their neighbourhood.  Whilst I am not happy to have groups of teenagers banging on my door I do love to see all of the small children dressed up and so excited by the generosity of all of these grown-ups.

In recently years no one has knocked on our door because all of the children living in our street have grown up. but I still make up grab bags for the youngest of my nieces and nephews.   This year I decided to make them a variation of the 'Mummy' Grab Bag.

For these bags I bought a pack of blue and white striped bags and some matching blue tissue ..... and lots and lots of glue. 

To make my 'mummy' I started by cutting some black card to fit the front of the bag. Next, I cut circles from white card for the eyes and smaller circles in black for the pupils. Then I tore strips of white card and distressed the edges with Ranger Vintage Photo. Finally, I glued overlapping strips to the black card - leaving space for the eyes.

As an after thought I glued some plastic spiders to the front.

I hope you have a happy and safe evening.
