Last-Minute DIY Halloween Decorations: Two “Krazy” Tutorials

October 30, 2015 by FaveCrafts 1 Comment

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute DIY Halloween decoration for your home or for a party, these two tutorials from Krazy Glue® will come to your rescue! They’re thrifty and easy homemade Halloween decorations that anyone can pull off. So, avoid the crowds at the stores by simply making your own last-minute decorations!

Mad Hatter Tea Cup Trio
Created by
Vicki O’Dell

Use Krazy Glue® and Halloween tchotchkes to transform an old tea set into a Mad Hatter Tea Cup Trio. The craft gel formula makes it quick and easy to secure miniature decorative elements in place. Perfect for a centerpiece, mantle décor or place settings.

Mad Hatter Tea Cup Trio

Supplies:

  • Krazy Glue® 20g Craft No Run Gel with Skin Guard
  • Three Tea Cups with saucers
  • Two foam balls
  • Fern pins
  • Various birds, skeletons, trees, witches hats and other decorations
  • Glitter, spray paint
  • Broken wooden candle stick or other decorative wood items from the craft store or wood section of the home improvement store.
  • Easter grass
Directions:

1. Wipe the bottom of the tea cup and the center of the saucer with alcohol.
2. Glue the tea cup to the saucer with Krazy Glue®.
3. Glue one of the tea cups to a broken wooden candlestick or other wood pedestal.
4. Cut two foam balls in half and glue – flat side up – into the cups.
5. Use 2-3 fern pins to secure the Easter grass to the foam ball.
6. Use Krazy Glue® to glue in the decorative elements as desired.
7. Skeleton – spray desired color and while still wet sprinkle with glitter.
8. Tree – scrape decorative flocking from the tree with the side of a ruler. Spray paint black and then sprinkle with glitter while still wet.

Spooky Spider Pumpkins
Created by KariAnne Wood

Use Krazy Glue, googly eyes, and a set of pipe cleaners to bring life to your Halloween décor. Ideal for indoor décor, or as a candy dish for your neighborhood’s trick-or-treaters.

Spooky Spider Pumpkins
Supplies:

  • Large round pumpkin
  • (4) small pumpkins
  • Black spray paint
  • Black pipe cleaners
  • Googly eyes
  • Pins
  • White yarn
  • Krazy Glue®
Directions:

1. Carve the lid off of the large, round pumpkin. Spray paint large pumpkin, lid and mini pumpkins black. Let dry.
2. Cut out (32) 5-inch sections of black pipe cleaner. Bend pipe cleaners on the end and curve the center for legs. Using Krazy Glue, adhere (8) pipe cleaner legs to each of the small pumpkins. Let dry.
3. Glue the googly eyes to the front of each of the pumpkins.
4. Add pins to the front of the large pumpkin in a spider web pattern. Wind the yarn around the pins to create a web. Secure with Krazy Glue.

Ask Maria “Crafting When Short on Time and Money”

August 6, 2010 by Maria Leave a Comment

Question

What crafts would you recommend for someone who is short on mney and time, but really wants to express her creative spirit?

Andy in FL

Time is always ticking and money always fleeting, I understand. My first thought, Andy, is the art of collage. True collage is done only with paper and there is plenty of free paper everywhere! A stash of junk mail, catalogs, party napkins, matchbooks, school flyers, and more can lead to hours and hours of creativity.

Here are some great sources of how-to for collage

WikiHow: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Collage

Creativity Portal: http://www.creativity-portal.com/howto/artscrafts/collage.html

Aisling D’Art: http://www.aisling.net/library/journaling/AJ2basics.htm

You can also explore Art Journaling, which is becoming very popular. You don’t need an expensive journal for this art form, any spiral or bound journal can be used to express yourself through words, drawings, sketches, marker watercoloring, and other inexpensive creativity.

Check out these Art Journal how tos

Art Journals

How to Use an Art Journal

Expressing yourself creatively doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. You just need to add your imagination and spirit to a technique or medium you love.
