Here we are in the most unique Halloween we've all experienced in our lives, right? I made a couple of décor items for my grandsons, and think they really liked them.
The first one is the Winnie the Witch Treat Box. So cute! The kids got a kick out of her. The hat comes off and you can insert whatever inside.
The cut file for Winnie comes from Dreaming Tree's Halloween Spirit SVG Bundle. My daughter's favorite part is the solar system on her hat.
I love the back, with the collar of her cape. Fun project to make!
The second project was the Bat Candle Holder, which comes from the same bundle as Winnie (see link above).
Last but not least, I had seen a tube to distribute Halloween candy on Pinterest, so thought I'd do my own version for my daughter's house. They have the perfect front porch that is set up a stair case. I got 10 ft of pvc pipe. I then cut out spiders, witches hats and spider webs from vinyl using my Sizzix Eclips. We attached the pipe to the railing, and it worked perfectly! I sat at the top of the stairs, and the kids put their bags underneath the pipe at the bottom, and the candy went straight into their bags. Worked like a charm. And, it's something they can use for years to come.
Others in the neighborhood had similar set-ups for handing out candy. One house had a rain gutter painted orange on the outside, and they slid the candy down that. Then others had pvc or other tubing. And, I was pleased because the trick-or-treaters were all very considerate and exercising social distancing. When someone was at our place, the next family would stand and wait down the walkway at least 10'.
Happy Halloween!
