Craft Friday!

Well before Halloween comes and goes...I thought I would share some fun that i've been having!

I found the inspiration for the first project here
What you need:
Yarn
Stryofoam cones, different shapes
Glue Dots

The total cost of the project was $10, and i have more than enough yarn to make probably 5 or 6 more of these.


Its really really simple, all you have to do is wrap the string around the cone! Put a glue dot when you start and finish each color and make sure its nice and tight.

                     This is how they turned out, not bad for a first try?

And here is another project I recently finished, this one only cost $5!


                             Insulation tubing ($.97), Tulle ($3.97)
                      Cut tulle into strips and then tie around tubing, voila!


I have really been enjoying decorating our house for Halloween (we're going to be a Roman Empress and Sparticus), even thought its not my favorite holiday. Its so nice to have a place we can call "home" and knowing we dont have to move in 18 months or a year again. As much as I loved our last apartment, I'm pretty stoked to not have to start packing up again or pay rent. We're having a Halloween party tomorrow, but maybe I will do a house tour with some before and after's?
