If you want to be unique around Halloween time, you will love this idea for painted on ghost nails. This is a perfect nail decoration for Halloween:  and these nails  glow in the dark! . Laura from  Dacian Moon Handmade  will show you, step by step, how to paint them.

CRAFTS MATERIALS NEEDED:

– protective base (nail shield )
– very dark blue nail polish
– clear lacquer
– acrylic paints – silver, opaque white, white glow
– toothpick

Step 1.

Apply a protective layer on your nails using the base…

Like this. Let it dry.

Step 2.

Apply a layer of dark nail polish and let it dry well.

If color is not uniform, apply another layer. Let it dry well.

Step 3.

Put a drop of silver paint on a cardboard.

We will apply it using a toothpick.

Draw 3 lines from a corner…

… then connect them with curves. Like this.

Add a new row of curves and the spider web is ready.

Draw this spider web on every nail.

Let it dry.

Step 4.

Next we add ghosts using opaque white.

I will show on the cardboard what to do. Put a small drop of paint.

Using toothpick pull down a little to make her tail. Like this.

Let it dry a bit, then with the other end of the toothpick make the eyes and mouth. Like this.

If you can’t make the eyes and mouth this way, use a little black paint to draw them, once the white paint is dry.

So, do that on your nails, on the opposite corner.

Repeat for all the nails.

Step 5.

Add a layer of glow in the dark paint on the ghost. You can apply it with a toothpick or a cotton stick. Let it dry.

Take care if you will use black paint for the eyes and mouth, the glow in the dark layer should be applied before that.

Your nails are almost ready.

Step 6.

To protect your manicure, apply a coat of clear lacquer.

Thus colors will not fade with water. In order to remove them, use nail polish remover.

This is a craft to make a simple & personal microphone machine that you wear on your back. There are no wires or technology here, it is made simply with a box, hose, funnel, and a few other items. Any boy or girl can make this simple home broadcasting system, through which you can really “broadcast.” However, mom or dad should probably be there to assist you. This might be good to include with a Halloween costume as you can make creepy sounds broadcast out of your back…depending on what your costume is.

How to Make Your Own Personal Microphone Broadcast System

CRAFTS MATERIALS NEEDED:

Large cardboard box

Brass paper fasteners

Piece of garden hose (ask mom or dad first)

Piece of window screening (ask mom or dad first)

Funnel

Scotch tape

Old belt or strap

Paints & brush

Scissors

Long nail (ask mom or dad first)

Glue

How to Make Them:

Step 1

Remove the cover from the box and throw it away as you will not need it. On the opposite side of the opening, cut out a window, leaving a 2 inch margin all around.

Step 2

Cut a piece of window screening a little larger  than the window opening, and glue it over the opening from the inside, as in illustration A.

Step 3

Make a small round hole in the bottom of the box, and pull a piece of garden hose up through the hole. Insert the snout of the tin funnel into the end of the hose inside the carton. Make the hose fit tightly over the funnel snout by wrapping Scotch tape around it. Drive a long nail through the hose to prevent it from slipping out of the hole in the carton, as in illustration B.

Step 4

Fasten the belt shoulder straps to the top and the bottom of the carton with brass paper fasteners, as in Illustration C.

Step 5

To broadcast thru the system, the user slips the straps over his shoulders, with the open end of the device to his back, and the loose end of the hose in his hand. The person who is broadcasting speaks into the loose end of the hose in the operator’s hands, as in illustration D.  His voice is transmitted through the hose, through the funnel, and out through the screened window at the back of the Walkie-Talkie Like Microphone Machine.

Girls love pretending to be Fairys.  They can pretend to be Fairys on any day of the year, but they especially love dressing up as a Fairy on Halloween.  Well, a fairy just can’t truly be a fairy without their Fairy Crown.  In this post I will show you how to make a Fairy Crown for Halloween.  Add this to your Fairy Skirt and Fairy Mask to have the most perfect Fairy Costume this Halloween.  Or, use the Fairy Costume to play dress-up all year long.  Let’s get started with the craft.  NOTE: you will need a little bit of help from an adult for this tutorial.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Laura from  Dacian Moon Handmade  will show you, step by step, how to make this.

Materials Needed

– 2 pieces of tulle: green and cream colored
– ribbon
– red beads
– needle and thread
– pen
– scissors
– a piece of brown cord
– lighter and pliers or tweezers (with Adult help)

Step 1

Draw 5 circles on cream tulle.

Cut them out.

Do the same with green tulle but make those circles smaller.

Step 2

This is the step where you need help. Fold a circle in quarter

… hold it with pliers and burn it a very little on the edges…. enough to wrinkle a bit.  (Must Have Adult Help.)  It is a very quick move with the lighter.

Do the same for all the circles. If you skip this step, the circles will remain flat.

Step 3

Set the pattern and make a mark where you should have the first circle (flower).

Using needle and thread sew the end of the ribbon…

… twist the ribbon…

… and sew it loose.

It will look like this.

Step 4

When you reach the marker, put a white circle on the needle…

… then a red bead …

and sew it to the spot.

Continue twisting the ribbon and sewing it loose, then add a green circle with a red bead… and so on.

Like this.

Step 5

Take the brown cord and put it through the tube of ribbon, under the first stitch.

Let enough cord free and make a knot.

This will keep the cord in place.

Begin to wrap loosely around the necklace…

… along with flowers, like this.

When you reach the other end pass the cord through the ribbon tube again.

The crown will be tied at the back…

… and it is ready to complete your Fairy costume.

Isn’t this Fairy Crown adorable?  Any Fairy would love to wear this crown.  Make sure to make the Fairy Skirt and Fairy Mask to accompany this Fairy Crown.

I’m going to show you how to make a Spider Pendant for Halloween.  Made from jewelry wire and beads this Spider Pendant turns out beautifully.  Make it for yourself or as a gift for someone special…. they will surely love it.  What is awesome about this Spider Pendant is that you can wear it all year long…. not just for Halloween.  It turns out that amazing….. you don’t want to just save it for Halloween.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Laura from  Dacian Moon Handmade  will show you, step by step, how to make this Spider Pendant.

Materials Needed

– black crystal
– red coral (you can use any red bead, just keep in mind it should be bigger than the black one)
– 2 little beads (seed beads)
– one piece of wire (about 3 cm)
– 3 pieces of wire (about 4.5 cm)
– chain
– round nose pliers

NOTE: Wire should be neither too soft nor too hard.

Step 1

Take the small piece of wire…

…and begin making a loop on one end.

Put the 2 seed beads on it…

… and close the loop. These will be the eyes.

Step 2

Add the black crystal…

… and the red coral bead.

Using the pliers make another loop on the other end.

Take care to let about 5mm between the black bead and the red one.

Step 3

Take the 3 pieces of wire…

… and bend them in half, like this.

Continue to press on the ends until it looks like this.

Put the spider body through it, like this…

… and tighten the knot.

Press on the ends again…

… and make another knot, like this.

NOTE: It is not actually a knot. You just wrap the 3 wire around the spider body 2 times.

Step 4

Separate spider legs.

Fold down the first leg almost half (smallest side towards the body)…

… and make a little loop on the end, using the pliers.

Repeat for all the legs…

… and your spider is ready.

Add a chain to it (you can put it through the head – between the eyes) and is ready to be worn.

Ok, how awesome is this Spider Pendant?  It is perfect for the Halloween season…. or really any time of year.  It is that beautiful to wear… wear it all year long.

Earlier today I showed you How to Make a Fairy Mask for Halloween.  But your Fairy Costume wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t have a Fairy Skirt to wear along with it.  I have an easy craft to show you how to make a Fairy Skirt using some green and cream tulle.  Tulle is a wonderfully light material perfect for Fairys.  After all, how else could a Fairy fly around like she does if she wasn’t wearing something light like Tulle.  Your little girl will love this fairy skirt…. she will surely use it well after Halloween is over for dress-up fun.   So, let’s get started.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade   will show you, step by step, how to make it.

Materials Needed

– tulle : green and cream colored
– elastic cord
– scissors

Step 1

Cut strips of tulle with a width of 2 cm. The strips must be twice the length of the skirt.

Green and cream tulle…. When you think you have enough you can begin to assemble the skirt.

Step 2

Take the cord…

… and place it behind  one strip folded in half.

Bring the ends through the loop, over the cord…

… and pull to get a knot.

Add another one…

… and another one… and so on.

Take care to alternate the green and cream strips and all the knots to be oriented in one direction, for the strips to sit well.

Step 3

When you added enough strips, just tie the ends of the cord …

… and the skirt is ready.

 NOTE: I am using a doll as example, but the skirt is actually meant for girls.

What a beautiful fairy skirt to wear over leggings this Halloween.  Make sure to Make the Fairy Mask to wear with this Fairy Skirt…. it will complete your Fairy Costume this Halloween.
