Ghost Garland

This ghost garland kit came from Martha Stewart. I bought it a couple weeks ago and was trying to wait until October to make it but couldn't wait. I'm already putting up Halloween decorations. I couldn't resist! I love this time of year and all the anticipation for the upcoming holidays! Plus, it was a nice break to work on this and get away from writing.

This was a fairly simple craft and you don't necessarily need to buy the kit but sometimes I don't want to think too hard on my crafts. I like it when someone does all the work for me and I just do the fun part of putting it together.

Wrap cotton balls with tissue paper, tie it together with ribbon, and put on ghost faces with stickers or a black marker. Easy!

Another thrifty and easy Halloween craft are these milk jug ghosts. I did this a few years back and still use them during Halloween.

Easter Bunny Garland

It's just after 10am and I already feel productive and accomplished for the day. That's what happens when you craft on a Saturday morning.

There isn't a single decoration up for Easter and I just couldn't handle it so I whipped up a quick Easter bunny garland.

The only thing I had to buy for this craft were the pom poms. If you love making garland for every holiday or occasion like I do, I suggest buying a cone of baker's twine. It'll last you a while.

The part that took the longest was cutting out all the little bunnies. But if you put on some music it's actually a soothing task. For my garland, I cut out twelve bunnies.

When I began, I couldn't find the hot glue gun and then, of course, when someone else goes looking for it, it turns up.

Oh, look how cute it is all strung up! A little festivity in the family room! Is there anything better than a quick craft project that makes you want to eat chocolate eggs? No, I didn't think so either!
