Halloween Monster Part One!

I am a crafty blog stalker and during one of my latest stalking sessions at one of my all time favorite crafty blogs I came across this darling idea for a game! It's kind of like pin the tail on the donkey but with monsters! For the original post you can see it here.

This is only part one of my plan however. I am going to get a big poster board and put a bunch of little monsters and jack'o'lanterns on it so that it can be played by lots of kiddos at once.  For the time being though here is a quick tutorial on how to make the monster! (File to be uploaded to the holiday tab soon)

So first I printed out the outline of the monster that I made up. Second is that I printed off all the eyes and mouths that the kids will be "pinning" on the monsters/pumpkins. I made WAY too many mouths on accident because I just like to be prepared I am silly.



 


Third get some crepe paper or streamers to make your monster all fluffy! I just used the streamers I found in the dollar store and it worked fine.  I picked yellow and green to give it some depth and because it looks super cute!  Roll out both colors into equal length strips and then hot glue them together. I strongly suggest using hot glue for this project, Elmer's glue has been letting me down as of late so I am breaking up with Mr. Elmer and leaving him for Mr. Glue Gun! After you glue the strips together fold them in half lengthwise, then cut to size to fit your little monster and glue to the paper. Here is some pictures of what it looks like in progress. 








And above is the finished product! Stay tuned for part two where there will be many more little monsters!
