things i am lovin' this week.


1- made some halloween treat bags for Mady's dance class. They loved them, especially since they were personalized with their names on them!



  • Materials: 
    • Purple Bags (as many as you need
    • Large size googly eyes
    •  Gold glitter glue
    • Green squeeze (fine tip lid) paint
    • Black squeeze (fine tip lid) paint
    • Orange paint
    • Hot Glue Gun
      •  put names on in Gold Glitter Glue. Do on all bags. (make a decision according to name - whether to do at an angle or across the bag)
      • after mostly dry, carefully paint pumpkins (basically circles, but you don't have to be exact -- it is a pumpkin after all)  in appropriate spots ( so the googly eye will have room later). Have to make a decision according to the length of the name.
      • Let mostly dry, then hot glue LARGE googly eyes on the bag.
      • Once all paint is completely dry, which should not be long, since you don't need to use a lot, accent gold glitter with green (I used a hunter green for depth), to the names and tops of pumpkins. I made a little cap and vine on the pumpkins in addition to the name accent.
      • Add black accent to the pumpkin. Again does not have to be perfect, its a pumpkin. LOL I basically traced the pumpkin and added some lines in the middle.
      •  With your finished product, tie orange ribbon at the top and add candy. We are putting a ring pop, small bag of M&Ms, a sucker, and some halloween bubbles (super cheap to grab at a local dollar store!)



2 -  pumpkin' pickin'!(and you can just consider 3 & 4 as lovely fall weather & baked pumpkin seeds!)
