Halloween is rapidly approaching so it is time to make cool spooktacular crafty things like these Spirit Jugs from Family Fun. The process is pretty simple. You just get some jugs to draw ghost faces on and buy a string of holiday lights to light them up - Family Fun suggests a "string of 50 clear low-wattage holiday lights."
Family Fun says to leave the caps on the jugs while you draw the ghost faces on them - that sounds like a wise tip.
Marthastewart.com has a similar concept for Tin-Can Jack-o'-Lanterns. This idea is like the ghost jugs but with tin cans, candles and robot faces. You can always do both. Or use Martha Stewart's idea on the jugs and make Robot Ghost Jugs.
If you want something simpler that's also green you could simply install these orange bulbs for a Halloween glow.
Singer, songwriter and designer Gwen Stefani has teamed up with Hewlett Packard (HP) for an online paper crafts project. The website can be found here. The projects include paper dolls as well as designs for use on CD covers and greeting cards.
The paper dolls link takes you to a website that lets you design Harajuka dolls. You select the doll you want and then select hairstyle, clothes, shoes, eyelashes, etc. Once you have finished designing your dolls you can then choose whether you want paper dolls or a greeting card starring your doll. After you have made this selection the program generates a PDF file which you download and then print.
The Gwen's Style For You option on the same HP website gives you a selection of Gwen's designs and illustrations for use on style sheets, greeting cards and mix CDs.
