Day 5 - Tootsie Pop Spiders

7 Days of October

Your kiddos will love these sucker spiders.
You will need:
1 Tootsie Pop
2 black pipe cleaners
2 googley eyes
Tacky glue

Cut the pipe cleaners in half, which now gives you 4. Wrap each pipe cleaner around the sucker in the middle. Bend the end of the pipe cleaner to form its legs. Glue the eyes on near the top. Tada! Quick. Simple. Fun.

Bunny Cake

My daughter enjoyed making this cute bunny cake!

She started with two round cakes.

Next, I cut two ears from one of the cakes leaving a bowtie.

She then iced it all with white icing and began decorating with pink.

She used candy for the eyes and Twizlers for the whiskers and mouth. Of course she had to use some sprinkles on the bowtie!

She was so happy with her little bunny!

Matchbook Mints (wedding)

My son got married just 2 weeks ago.  One week later, my husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary.  How quickly time goes by.  Seems like WE were just the newlyweds!  Watching him get married to the love of his life was truly one of the best days of my life!

Here are some matchbook mints that I made for the wedding.

These are quick and easy to make.

Cut one piece of cardstock (I used glitter cardstock) 2" x 5"
Score at 4 5/8", 2.5", and 2".
Fold at score lines.
Insert one Lifesaver mint. Line up at the bottom.
Staple through mint and cardstock.
Fold down the top and tuck under the bottom.

Next, I taped on a piece of ribbon cut to size that said "Our Wedding."

They literally only took minutes to make! A quick, easy, and super cute project! I'll be tucking one of these away in the scrapbook along side the pictures with memories of their special day that I will always hold near my heart!

Post It Note Holders

One of my favorite things to make is Post It Note Holders. They are quick and easy to make. They also sell well at craft fairs!

Here are the dimensions I use.

And a quick tip for scoring if you don't have one of those handy dandy Score Pal things is to use your paper cutter and a stylus. Just open your paper cutter and use that little groove thing!

Next, attach your designer paper, and then fold on score lines. Tape in your Post It Notes.

Lastly, attach your flower to the top. To make the paper flower, click HERE. Easy...peasy...and so much fun!

Paper Flower Tutorial

I love to make paper flowers, and these cute colorful flowers top them all! They are so quick and easy to make!

Here are the supplies I used plus a hole punch that I forgot to get a pic of. 

Use the flower punch to punch out 5 flowers.

Layer the 5 petals up into one stack, and punch a whole in the center. 

Next, use a spray bottle (mine is an old Stampin Up bottle filled with water), and spray a couple squirts on each petal. 

Next, crumple the paper petal into a tight little wad. 

Wait a few minutes and gently open each petal. 

Allow them to dry for a bit, and then stack each of the petals into one stack again. At this point I added the smaller flower and brad. The brad will hold it all together.

I chose a cute little button to finish it off. 

You can use whatever supplies you have on hand to make them each unique. I have used sequins, buttons, gems, etc! 

Such a quick fun little project! If you give it a try, let me know. I'd love to hear from you!
