- Masking Tape Hand
  October 20, 2021This creepy glow in the dark hand is the perfect DIY addition to add to your Halloween decorations. This project takes approximately 15-20 minutes. You can try wrapping your own hand, but it’s definitely easier to borrow a friend’s hand. Materials Glowstick (green or orange look great) Masking Tape Disposable drinking straw Scissors Step 1. WRAPPING THE HAND- Always start with the sticky side of the tape facing OUT, otherwise the tape will stick to your model and will be harder to remove. Place a straw against the wrist and palm of the hand as shown. This will keep the tape from getting too tight and help when removing the tape at the end. Hold the end of the tape in place with one hand, while wrapping the tape around the wrist with the other hand. Leave at least an inch of the straw exposed at the bottom. Overlap the tape, so that it sticks to itself. This will make it easier to wrap the rest of the hand. Step 2. Continue wrapping the tape up the wrist, sticky side out. Remember, make sure not to wrap the tape too tight or your model will be uncomfortable. Step 3. When you get to the hand, wrap the tape across the palm and around the thumb, similar to how you might wrap a hand with a bandage. Step 4. Keep wrapping until the palm is covered. Step 5. The back of the hand should be covered as well. You can add more tape in spots that are still uncovered, making sure to keep the sticky side facing out. Step 6. Next, start wrapping the index finger. The fingers will be tricky, the tape is sticky and the fingers are close together. Use the scissors as you are wrapping to cut any tape that sticks to itself. Step 7. Finish wrapping all the fingers until everything on the hand is covered with tape. It might appear messy at this point but that will be fixed in the next step. Step 8. Repeat steps 2-8, this time with the sticky part of the tape facing in. You can cut the tape into smaller pieces to get into the areas around the fingers. When you are finished, the hand should no longer be sticky. Step 9. REMOVING THE HAND FROM THE TAPE- If possible, you should let the model do this step. Insert the scissors into the end of the straw and cut carefully along the straw. Step 10. Continue cutting the tapped hand apart, until the model can slide their hand out, you will use the tape to fix the cut seam. Step 11. Use the masking tape to put the hand back together and fix any places the might be coming undone, especially around the fingers. Step 12. The hand is complete. You can use this wrapping technique on other parts of the body, like your feet. Add a glow stick inside the hand for a creepy effect. You can also create a zombie rising from it’s grave. Congratulations! You made it through this DIY! If you’re still missing some components for the perfect Halloween, head over to the shop to browse through decorations and party supplies that will bring your haunted house back from the dead. ...

- How to make a life-size Halloween ghost
  October 18, 2021Use cheesecloth and other cheap items to make a life-size ghost for Halloween. Hang it on a tree or put it on your front porch so that passers-by will tremble in their boots. Materials Needed: 6-8 packages of cheesecloth large foam ball 2 small foam balls paint roller extension pole 2 yardsticks hammer 2 short large-headed nails jug of Sta-Flo liquid starch empty spray bottle sheet of black felt scissors fabric glue large sewing needle spool of fishing line Create Ghost’s Framework Layer a paint roller extension pole and two yardsticks to create a “skeleton” for your ghost (Image 1). Use a short large-headed nail to attach both yardsticks to the paint roller extension pole, one on top of the other (Image 2). Secure Extension Pole Find a non-windy outdoor spot to temporarily drive the paint roller extension pole into the ground to make draping the ghost easier. Attach Ghost’s Head Push a large foam ball onto the top of the paint roller extension pole to create the ghost’s head. Attach Ghost’s Hands Attach a small foam ball to the end of each yardstick to act as the ghost’s hands. Drape Cheesecloth Begin draping large sheets of cheesecloth over the ghost framework (Image 1). Continue draping sheets of cheesecloth back and forth over the ghost until you’ve achieved the desired effect (Image 2). Spray Starch Use a spray bottle filled with liquid starch to saturate the ghost’s head, hands and arms, leaving the body starch-free so trailing layers of gauze will blow in the breeze. Allow starch to dry (harden) completely before moving on. Create Eyes and Mouth Cut two eyes and a mouth out of black felt (Image 1). Use fabric glue to attach felt eyes and mouth to the ghost’s head (Image 2). Remove Small Foam Balls Gently remove the two small foam balls from under cheesecloth. Attach Fishing Line to Arms Use a large sewing needle to thread a long length of fishing line through the fabric of each hand. Triple-knot the fishing line so the ghost can move freely in the breeze without the threat of blowing away. Attach Fishing Line to Head Use a large sewing needle to thread a long length of fishing line through the top of the ghost’s head. It’s a good idea to drive the needle straight through the foam ball if possible. Triple knot this length of fishing line (Image 1). Finally, tie the ghost to hooks on a porch ceiling or sturdy tree branches in the yard for a spooky Halloween-themed display (Image 2). ... Read more...
- How To Make A Ghost Costume (It’s Harder Than You’d Think!)
  October 13, 2021Maybe it’s a little cliché (OK, a lot cliché) to cut holes in a sheet and have your kiddo trick-or-treat as a ghost. But you know what they say, if it ain’t broke…OK, it’s easier said than done to keep the holes where they’re supposed to be and make a functional costume this way! Luckily, Super Mom Hacks has you covered. (Or more like your kid covered…in a sheet!) When does your family start thinking about Halloween? Me, I start hounding my kids for costume ideas over the summer. I love DIY costumes; having them take forever to make, not so much. Hence I was thrilled this past August when Essie announced she’d be a ghost for Halloween. How hard can it be to make a ghost costume? Then Kimmie decided she’d be a ghost, too. Bonus! Make a ghost costume times two. How lucky am I? Can’t get any simpler than that. Two white bedsheets, here we come. 1. Acquire white fabric Our corner of Suburbia U.S.A. has not one, but two thrift stores within a mile of our house. My mission one September morning, after getting girls off to school: Find two white sheets. Of course I found every color of sheet except plain white. I suspect a cartoon-character-printed ghost costume isn’t going to cut it. But even better, I found an entire bolt of white fabric! Since it was Half-Off Day, $7.50 later (surely the $15 original price means there’s plenty of fabric for two ghost costumes, right?) I was on my way. That was almost too easy. 2. Consider logistical challenges One reason I like lots of lead time for making costumes is so I can stick them on the mental back burner, until I figure out a good way to accomplish the desired effect. But the more I pondered the bedsheet-with-two-eye-holes-cut-out scenario, the more I realized it was going to be harder to make a ghost costume than I’d imagined. Think about it: How do you know where to cut the eye holes? And once you’ve got them cut, how do you get them to stay in place on the kiddo’s head while the kid is walking around? 3. Do some research So I began hunting online for instructions on how to make a ghost costume. This site has the best step-by-step directions I found for Ye Olde Basic Sheet-Based Ghost Costume That Won’t Fall Off. (The secret is attaching a light-colored hat inside the head part of the sheet; the hat is what holds the costume in place and keeps the holes where they belong.) By now it was mid-September. Figuring I had this problem solved, I stashed the bolt of fabric in a closet. But I still needed to find white hats. I briefly contemplated crocheting some with bulky white yarn while waiting in school drop-off and pick-up lines. Instead, I found a couple of pastel plaid fleece caps at the tail end of this fall’s Baby Consignment Sale event. Cost: about 25 cents each. Score again! I also stumbled across some black cheesecloth at Secondhand Crafting Supply Store. One of the websites I’d consulted on how to make a ghost costume suggested sewing black mesh behind the eye holes, so that the costume gives the appearance of black holes without having to paint big black circles around one’s eyes. To me, sewing on black mesh sounds way easier than trying to apply (and then remove) eye-area black grease paint on a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old. Even though the bundle contained lots more fabric than I needed, at $2.25 it was still a bargain. 1. Make time, collect goods With three weekends remaining until October 31, I decided I’d better make the costumes already. So Sunday afternoon I cleared off the dining-room table and gathered my supplies, including some narrow white elastic; I figured I’d add some wrist straps to help hold the fabric in place. Then I cut the tape off the bolt of fabric, and unrolled it to see how much fabric I had. My 54-inch-wide bolt of fabric contained approximately two yards (72 inches). That’s it. Enough to make a ghost costume, but not enough to make two ghost costumes. 2. Make first attempt anyway But this was my Chunk Of Time To Make A Ghost Costume x2, darn it! So I folded the hunk of fabric in quarters, marked the center, and hunted down Essie, who was playing in the living room. First attempt: too much fabric for Essie’s costume Turns out, the optimal fabric size for a 40-inch-tall child’s ghost costume is less than . At its current size, the fabric would definitely drag on the ground at the corners. Yes, I could just trim off the corners – but in theory, good uber-thrifty type that I am, I’m going to repurpose each costume into linings for baskets or tote bags or something. So the less I cut the fabric, the better. Next I hunted down Kimmie, who was in the basement indulging in Screen Hypnosis. She was not happy to have her Mulan/Mulan II binge-watching marathon interrupted by being asked to stand up and having a piece of opaque white fabric draped over her eyes. But good news: the rectangle in question works much better on a 48-inch-tall child than a 40-inch-tall one. Given the girls’ level of engrossment in their various activities and my own inertia, I decided that investing the rest of the afternoon in a trip to the nearest fabric store was not the best choice. So I packed everything away and got out a piece of paper. 3. Do some math Next thing I know, I’m sketching out rectangles of fabric and trying to remember the Pythagorean Theorem (you know, the formula used to figure out the long side of a right triangle) so I can figure out how much fabric I need to make Essie’s costume. Several calculations later, I had a rough sense of what to aim for. (In case you’re curious: for a 40-inch-tall child, I figured I’d need either 1.75 yards of 45-inch-wide fabric, or 1.25 yards of 54-inch-wide fabric.) 1. Acquire more fabric First stop after preschool drop-off on Monday: the thrift store a half-mile from home. They had several bundles of white fabric for a few dollars each. But the bundles were all taped up, the store doesn’t allow returns, and they also don’t generally allow you to un-tape bundled items before you buy them. Second attempt: too long in front and back, too short on the sides. I convinced a salesperson to make an exception under the circumstances. After opening several bundles, I found one that looked workable. It even came with already-somewhat-uneven edges. Brought the piece home to find it’s actually about 40 inches x 80 inches – not really wide enough, and too long. Cutting off some of the length and adding it onto the sides seems a better bet than having a big seam right down the middle of the thing, but still… Guess I’ll be hauling out the sewing machine after all. I actually love to sew; I find it soothing and relaxing. But finding the unencumbered time in which to do it, without staying up half the night, is the challenging part. 2. Success, at long last So much for this being a fast-and-easy process. I eventually got Kimmie’s costume done in an afternoon, and Essie’s done the following afternoon. 2a. The actual steps to make a ghost costume The basic steps go like this: Mark center of fabric. (I did this by folding it into quarters and ironing in creases.) Put hat on child, center fabric on child’s head, and secure center of fabric to top of child’s head with safety pins. Use additional pins to secure fabric around the edges of the hat. With hat on child, locate and trace where you want the eye holes and mouth hole to go, using kiddo’s eye sockets and mouth as a guide. Cut out said holes. Cut mesh (black cheesecloth) to go behind the holes, and secure to the inside of the fabric. Sew elastic wrist-straps at the side creases to help keep the costume in place. 2b. Final tips and tricks Putting hat on child/safety-pinning fabric to hat is easier said than done. After that step, tracing and cutting the face holes was easy-peasy. Since I had the sewing machine out anyway, I did a quick zigzag stitch around the edge of the fabric, and a basic satin stitch around the cutouts, to avoid fraying. Easy as it sounds, the satin-stitching around the holes actually proved tricky for Kimmie’s costume. So before I cut the holes in Essie’s, I fused some scraps of stabilizer to the inside of the fabric. I also cut a single piece of cheesecloth, large enough to cover all three holes, and then folded up one corner before folding and stitching a basic hem around the edges. Hemming kept loose threads from tickling the girls’ faces; doubling up one corner made the mouth hole extra-dark, while still maximizing visibility through the eye holes. I used fusible interfacing to attach the cheesecloth to the inside of the ghost costume, rather than trying to sew it on. This both avoided visible stitches on the costume face, and minimized the amount of sewing through hard-to-manage cheesecloth. The girls agreed that adding elastic wrist-straps inside was a useful addition. Are you making costumes for your kiddos this year?

- Apple Stamped Banner
  October 1, 2021Apple Stamped Banner – a fun kid craft This super cute kids craft is perfect for fall! Learn how to make an apple printed banner that’s perfect for autumn! You’ll need: Banner pieces – I cut 7″x10″ triangles from heavyweight paper, but pieces of burlap, fabric scraps or even drop cloths would also work great! Acrylic paint Paper plate Twine An apple – choose one with a nice shape! (Optional) Sharpie marker and glitter glue for additional embellishing Slice the apple cleanly in half to make two stamps. Pour a small amount of paint on to the paper plate. Dip the flat side of the apple into the paint and stamp on to the banner piece. Easy as pie! Add Sharpie seeds and glitter glue stems if desired, and allow to dry. Punch holes in the corners of the banner pieces and tie together with twine.

- Dia de los Muertos Simple Sugar Skull Makeup & DIY Headband
  September 29, 2021This simple Sugar Skull makeup and DIY headband are one of the ultimate solutions to a last-minute Halloween or fancy dress costume! Pair with an outfit you already own and you have a complete DIY sugar skull costume in under half an hour total! The simple Sugar Skull look has become our go-to last-minute Halloween costume for our girls, who love the chance to have makeup on… even if it is spooky sugar skull make up! Find out how to make your own floral headband and be ready in a flash. How To DIY A Simple Sugar Skull Costume If you want to keep your costume budget low, or you simply get caught at last minute without a costume for Halloween or a fancy dress party, this costume is a perfect mix of feminine and spooky. And easy to DIY! All you need is some makeup – red lipstick and black eyeliner will do the job if you want to keep it really easy! A plain headband and some fabric or paper flowers. And an outfit from your wardrobe! You don’t need to have any fancy makeup artist skills either. Because I certainly don’t, yet my girls love this costume more than any other. The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a special holiday in Mexico, where families welcome the souls of their deceased relatives back for 3 days of celebration between 31 October and 2 November each year. DIY Flower Headband To make your DIY Day of the Dead floral headband, all you need is a plain headband – We used some we already had at home, but you can also pick up a packet of headbands for a couple of dollars. And you need some flowers in the colour of your choice. I had these large fabric flowers from making baby headbands many years ago. Smaller fabric flowers look just as good, such as little rosebuds. But any flowers will do! Red, pink, orange, white and purple are all popular choices. Using a hot glue gun, glue your flowers in place on your headband. Glue flowers to the headband Add felt circles to secure flowers to headband It is ready to go once it is dry, however, I did also add felt circles to the underside of the headband as well. This ensures a firmer hold and helps avoid any scratchy, annoying hot glue patches against the head. DIY Simple Sugar Skull Makeup It took me around 5 to 7 minutes each to do my daughters faces with their Day of the Dead makeup looks. We used a few images from Pinterest for inspiration, but kept it really simple, without a lot of detail. I used an eyeliner pencil for the black details – the stitched lips, rings around the eyes and the nose details. If you have a liquid eyeliner, this will likely work better. Our eyeliner pencil was not ideal as it didn’t fit the sharpener I had, hence the very basic details. A liquid eyeliner, or a nice sharp point, will allow you to do a lot more and still keep it simple and quick. We used red lipliner pencil to ensure the red stayed bold, with red or pink lipstick over the top. This time it was pink eyeshadow and blush with some silver sparkle liquid eyeliner to add some bling. Actual stick on bling works perfectly for this too! In an earlier costume below, I have also used the red lipstick around the eyes. One of our previous Halloween party quick costumes What Clothes To Wear For A Girl’s Sugar Skull Costume For an outfit, plain black works fine. Or add some splashes of colour with floral prints. A dress is a great option or an off the shoulder shirt with a bold pattern skirt gives off pretty Day of the Dead vibes. This time round ours was a school dress-up day, so we stuck with clothes the kids could still play in. Well… for my eldest. My youngest was a Rapunzel sugar skull! DIY Sugar Skull Costume Supplies If you want to only partially DIY your easy sugar skulls makeup and costume, or you need to stock up on some supplies, here are some essentials to help you out: Plain satin headbands Fabric flowers Sugar skull temporary face tattoos – if you’d rather skip the makeup entirely! Headband with veil Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skull Costumes If you don’t have the time for a DIY Day of the Dead costume, or you want to mix and match, these are some of the best picks for ready-made costumes to buy: Girl’s Skeleton Day of the Dead costume Men’s’ Day of the Dead suit costume Senorita Dia De Los Muertos costume Girls deluxe skeleton costume This is a fun costume idea for when you are in a hurry! It works just as well for men too, with a little masculine skeleton makeup, paired with a black suit or black pants and a white shirt. And like I said, you don’t need to have any special makeup skills to make it look effective… a few smudges here and there are all part of the Halloween spookiness!

- Scarecrow Paper Craft for Kids
  September 24, 2021It’s fun to celebrate the fall season by doing some crafts with the little ones in your life. This scarecrow paper craft for kids is an adorable piece of art to both create and display. This scarecrow’s face is a made out of a pinwheel. I have given you a tutorial for how to make a paper pinwheel here, and that will come in handy as we move forward. MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE A SCARECROW PAPER CRAFT FOR KIDS Brown Stock Paper – 3 pieces per scarecrow Scissors or Paper Cutter Hot Glue White Glue Large Craft Google Eyes Orange, Yellow, Green or Red Construction Paper Rafia Pipe Cleaner (optional) HOW TO MAKE A SCARECROW PAPER CRAFT FOR KIDS Follow the instructions here to create a pinwheel. We cut down our brown 8.5 x 11 paper into a 8.5″ x 8.5″ square. I originally tried to use double stick tape to attach it, but I should have used hot glue as suggested in my original post. The double stick tape did not work well. We also used three folded squares attached together to make it work better. Cut out the free scarecrow hat template found here. Have kids trace the hat template onto a fall paper color of their choice. Cut it out. Cut raffia to the length of scarecrow hair desired. You will only need two little stacks for either side of the hat. Glue down raffia by making a pile of glue on both sides of the pinwheel. You can lay down your hat as a guide to where the hair should go. It will be a mess and glue will be dripping down the cracks. Just know that the white glue will dry and the raffia will stick. You just don’t want to mess with it much. Add glue across the top where the hat should sit. Lay the hat in place. Again, it will stick when glue begins to dry. Glue a ribbon on the hat. Glue google eyes in place. Glue a triangle paper nose to the center. Glue on a mouth. The kids wanted to cut their own mouths out of paper. I used a pipe cleaner to make mine. Let it all dry completely before moving it around much. You are done with your adorable scarecrow craft for kids. If you need this to dry quicker, you can use hot glue. I also always love glue dots because kids can use them but they adhere quickly. That said, I don’t think these would work easily with the raffia.

- How to make a napkin for your kid’s lunch box
  September 22, 2021I am happy to share with you a simple napkin tutorial, perfect for making cute napkins for your kids’ lunch! You can even make special napkins for holidays and seasons, and the best part-you will reduce waste! Don’t worry, this tutorial is also very suitable for beginners to sewer! With Lucy starting Kindergarten in just a few more days, we’ve been doing all kinds of back-to-school preparations. She’s got her first day of school outfit all picked out school supplies and lunch boxes are ready to go! (I’ve even got a fresh box of tissue for myself to wipe away all the tears.) As I was making my to-do list for the week, I realized Lucy would need some new cloth napkins for her school lunches. (We try our best, although it’s challenging, to reduce the amount of waste we produce. It helps that Lucy’s school encourages the teachers and students to try to use reusable items as much as possible when packing their lunches.) Then I got to thinking how fun it would be to make the cloth napkins myself! That way I could really personalize them for Lucy by using fabric that she likes and even make some special ones for all the holidays throughout the year. I quickly crossed off “cloth napkins” from my shopping list, and instead of heading to the store, headed to my leftover fabric stash. I grabbed all my pieces of leftover fabric that I thought would make cute cloth napkins! I love how they turned out! I think they’ll make the lunches fun for Lucy to open at school. (She’s already chosen the one she wants for her first day.) And my favorite part was they were free since they were just from leftover scraps! There’s two different ways to make cloth napkins. I’ll share a tutorial for making mitered corners and just regular corners. (This post contains affiliate links.) How to Make Cloth Napkins Be sure to wash, dry, and iron your fabric before starting. Cut your fabric into a square about an inch larger than you’d like your finished napkin to be. (For example, if you want your napkin to be 20 inches x 20 inches, cut the fabric 21 inches x 21 inches.) Since my scraps of fabric were all different sizes, my finished cloth napkins all are different sizes too. I basically just cut them into whatever sized square I could get out of them. I would say most are about 18 inches x 18 inches. For Mitered Corners 1. Place your fabric with the wrong side facing up. Cut off about 1/2 inch from each corner. 2. Fold down the edge you just cut about 1/2 inch, and press it down with an iron. 3. Fold one side of your napkin down about 1/2 inch and press. Then fold it about another half inch and press. 4. Do this with the remaining three sides. (If you like things perfect, you’ll really want to take your time making sure each side is folded down the exact same amount. If you’re like me, you will not take your time to measure and just hope for the best. Although the “hope for the best” method is way easier and less stressful, your corners will not always match up.) 5. Use a sewing machine to sew down each side. Trim off the left over thread and you are done! For Regular Corners 1. Place your fabric down with the wrong side facing you. Fold down one side of the napkin about 1/2 inch and press down. 2. Fold down the same side again about 1/2 inch, press, and pin. 3. Do this for the remaining three sides. 4. Use a sewing machine to sew down each side. Trim off the left over thread and you are done! So now that I’ve made a little bunch of cute cloth napkins for Lucy to start the school year off with, my next plan is to sew some cloth napkins for special days throughout the year. I’ve already seen some super cute pumpkin fabric at my local fabric store that I’m going to buy next!

Use colorful Multi-Surface paints and wrapping paper to transform a plain drawer into a fun and functional organizer. Hello there! Can you believe that school will be starting in just one month? Where did this summer go? I am definitley getting into back to school mode. Today, I am sharing how to create a Colorful Drawer Desk Organizer that is perfect for storing and organizing office and back to school supplies.

Next to the drawer was a roll of colorful floral wrapping paper that I wanted to line the inside of the drawer with. I picked some coordinating multi-surface paints and got started. First, I painted the inside of the three smaller compartments with two coats of Americana Multi-Surface Satin Paint in Poppy, Turquoise Water, and Flamingo. Allow the first coat of paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. Next, I cut a piece of the wrapping paper to fit suggly inside the large compartment of the drawer. I used a foam paint brush to apply a thin layer of Decou-Page to the drawer and gently placed the paper down on top. Use your fingers to smooth out any air bubbles in the paper. I removed the hardware from the outside of the drawer. Then, I applied two coats of Purple Sunset to the outside and inside of the drawer. Once the paint was dried, I screwed the hardware back on. I love the different size compartments of this drawer. They are great for storing paper clips, twine, pencils, notepads, and all of your office and back to school supplies. My daughter loves this Colorful Drawer Desk Organizer. She will be all set for kindergarten to start next month.
