Trick or Treats

A few photos posted today for a lady preparing for a fair in October.  Thanks to a crafty pal I have these photos to show. It was a fund raising event for a lovely talented young lady in the crafting community in Ireland in October 2009. I decided to just jump in, volunteer and participate. It was a worthy cause and made great use of my paper crafting hobby and stash. I had great fun and all items were very easy to make.

                                                                                                                                                                   

The coffins I downloaded from this site :
http://www.marthastewart.com/article/coffin-treat-box   I printed them on Kraft card stock, cut, stuck, filled with goodies, tied up with black string and embellished with cheap peel off stickers. The topper were just stamped and matted. I think the stamps were from Papertrey ink.

 These cute gift boxes I downloaded the template from

I used some cheap papers from a Halloween party invitation pack to embellish and added the shaky eyes.

 This Halloween prop looked good.  I am not sure if you can make out in this photo the little paper pumpkins. I got this idea and instructions from here

I made some witches brooms see above link but they must have sold before the photo was taken.

The goody bags to the left of the picture were simply cello bags filled with goodies, with long strips of black cardstock wrapped around them,stapled and then embellished with cheap patterned paper, a stamped and matted topper and some cheap peel off stickers.
The props were great. They made an otherwise simple white tablecloth table a bit more dramatic and inviting.
