Today we are going to be making Standing Witches for Halloween.  You can choose to either use the printable template and cardstock to make this item.  Or, if you want the craft to be a little more difficult you can use such items as yarn, sticks, construction paper and straw to make the Standing Witch from scratch.  The choice is your own.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Materials Needed

Heavy Paper, Cardstock or Construction Paper

Yarn or Thread (optional)

Stick & Straw (optional)

Paste

Scissors

If you choose follow the printable template below to make the Standing Witch.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO OPEN IT UP BIGGER TO PRINT.

Directions:

1. In making this standing Halloween witch, the hat and coat must be drawn on rather heavy paper for it to stand well (with normal paper, if you walk past the witches, they might blow over from the slight breeze otherwise). So you can use normal paper if you want to, but I suggest tracing the patterns onto cardstock or construction paper.
2. As for the hair, you can either use the template provided or use yarn or thread for the hair. It could even be straw pasted on the other side of the hat to hang down. The back of the witch is shown, so that no face will be needed to be drawn. This was intentional, as younger children might get frustrated with drawing a face. Plus, I think the silhouette of the witch is quite nice to look at. If the hair is made with thread, a vertical strip of paper will be needed to fasten the hat at a proper distance from the body, so it might just be easier to use the drawing of hair or paste the thread / yarn on to the cut-out-drawn hair provided. The lower part of the hair will then be pasted on to the coat.
3. The broom may be made either of two ways. A stick may serve as the handle with a few real broom straws tied in a bunch at the end, or the broom may merely be cut from the paper template given like the rest of the witch. It is then pasted on the other side (front side, really) so that it would seem as if the witch was carrying it in her hand.

So, as you can see you can make this Standing Witch as easy or as complicated as you would like.  This is great for all different age groups.

Today we will show you how to make stuffed puppy dogs out of socks and rubber bands. This craft will probably take less than 10 minutes for you…it is that easy. These are no-sew stuffed animals…that is right…no sewing necessary at all. If you like sock monkeys, but you were too lazy to make them, then this arts and crafts project is for you. Have fun.

How to Make No-Sew Stuffed Puppy Dog Animal Toy with Socks & Rubber Bands

Crafts Materials Needed

– Stretchy Socks – I used Knee High Girls Socks
– Small Rubber Bands or Yarn
– Buttons or Sharpie Marker or Fabric Markers or Needle and Thread
– Stuffing
-Scissors

Step 1

Take out your sock….preferably socks that are stretchy and ones that have an interesting pattern or color.

Step 2

Put your stuffing in to your sock…put it all the way down to the tip of the sock.

Step 3

Now on the side ‘A’ (pictured above), form a ball by making sure that some of the stuffing is at that corner and then just pushing down with your thumbs to form a ball.

Step 4

If this stuffed dog is being made for a younger child (under 3 or 4 of age) you should use yarn instead of a rubber band, just in case it comes off…you never know what a child will put in his or her mouth and chock on. If you use a rubber band just put the rubber band around the ball until it is tight. If you are using yarn, wrap it around that ball-shape and tie knots and wrap it around more and tie more knots…then cut it off.

Step 5

Now you should do the same thing for the other dog paw, side B.

Step 6

Now put stuffing above the paws for the puppy dog’s belly area.

Step 7

Now make 2 arms the same way that you made the paws.

Step 8

Tie the yarn or rubber band next for the neck.

Step 9

This is what the real thing looks like so far.

Step 10

Add stuffing to the sock for the puppy dog’s head and then again, tie off with rubber band or yarn.

Step 11

This is what the real puppy dog looks like so far.

Step 12

Now cut the remaining sock (the part above the head and rubber band) in the center….like you see above.

Step 13

Now on each side – there are 2 sides – cut in 3 slits. So basically you have 6 slits in all then.

Step 14

Now braid each side. If you don’t know how to braid…then visit the Wikipedia page on braiding.

Step 15

Now rubber band each side in a loop.

Step 16

Now rubber band both loops together in the center.

Step 17

Cut off the excess that was on the top of the 2 loops (you will be cutting off the rubber bands too from step #15)

Step 18

Now this is what your doggy will look like.

Step 19

If you want to…glue on button eyes and nose. If your parents are around, ask them to hot glue them on, otherwise use fabric glue. If you have a sharpie or paint, make the dog’s mouth too.

I hope that you had a lot of fun.

If you want to make your very own play dolls out of recycled twist ties, then find out how to. They come out really cool, with hug-gable & twist-able arms and legs … especially cool for Mom dolls that hug baby dolls. Find out how to make these from unused items around your house. Have fun.

How to Make Twist Tie Doll Figures with Moving Arms and Legs Crafts Idea for Kids

Crafts Materials Needed

– Embroidery Thread or Floss
– Glue
– Scissors
– Twist Ties
– Markers or Paints

Step 1

Take a twist tie and bend it in half.

Step 2

Now take a second twist tie and bend it in half around the first twist tie…

Step 3

and then wrap it around like this so you have 2 arms.

Step 4

Twist the first twist tie, below the arms, so it looks like this (after spreading the legs out).

Step 5

Now glue one end of embroidery thread / floss to the top of the figure…we are going to make the head. When you start wrapping the thread, make sure to leave a little of the twist tie at the top (the loop), unwrapped so you can put the hair through it at the end.

Step 6

Keep wrapping it around the head and put a bunch of glue on it when you feel you are done…cut the end and push the end down.

Step 7

Wrap a different color for the shirt….wrap all around the arms and chest….put a bunch of glue down, cut, and push the end of string down…You can fold the hands over the shirt if you want to.

Step 8

Choose another color for the pants and wrap the string all around the legs and thighs…cut and glue down. You can then fold the feet over.

Step 9

Fold some string and then push it through the loop at the top of the head.

Step 10

You can either braid it or cut the ends off so the hair hangs better.

Like this.

Or braided like this.

Finished Miniature Doll Figurines

You can paint or draw faces on them if you want to.

This is what the finished dolls look like. The neat thing is that the arms can bend around other figures to hug. I used a smaller twist tie for the baby and a long garbage bag twist tie for the Mommy figure.

Because Martin Luther King Day is approaching, I think we should remember that, even if we are looking different, we are equals and we wish for the same things in life. One of those things is PEACE. Today, Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will be showing you how to make a Peace Dance out of paper.

You Might Like Our Other Martin Luther King Day Crafts as well.

CRAFTS MATERIALS NEEDED:

– paper
– scissors
– pencil
– colored pencils

Step 1.

Take one corner of the paper and bend it to the opposite side.

Step 2.

Press well the edge…

… and then, with the scissor cut the remaining part of paper.

Step 3.

Now, we have a triangle. Set it on the table with the peak to you. Bring the right corner over the left one, like in the picture.

We have now a smaller triangle. Press well the new formed edge.

Step 4.

Set the triangle on the table with the bigger edge to you.

Then bring again the right corner over the left one.

Now, we have an even smaller triangle who have on one side 3 corners one over the other, and on the other side, only one corner.

Step 5.

Let the triangle folded, with the 3 corners one over the other in the left.

Draw with the pencil two silhouettes – one girl and one boy, like in the following picture.

Step 6.

With the scissor cut out the silhouettes from the paper, following the contour. First the lower part…

… then the upper part. Take care at the hands of the silhouettes because they should be merged, so don’t cut them on the paper edge.

On this point you should have :

Step 7.

Look at the boy’s hand. You’ll see that can be opened:

Gently, pull the detachable corners and you’ll have 4 kids.

Repeat that and …

Mmm, it looks good. Look very carefully: can you open it more?

Yes, you can !
Now, you have the “peace dance”.

Step 8.

The last step:

You can play with coloured pencils, to make the dance full of joy. Don’t forget to make kids with different skin colours, because we are all equals, we like to play, to dance… we like Peace. I begin to play with colours. What are you waiting for?

… and most important: HAVE FUN!

No Christmas tree is complete without a beautiful angel placed on top.  This craft gives your children the opportunity to make their own Christmas angel ornament / Christmas tree topper.

Easy Angel Christmas Tree Topper to Make : Arts & Crafts Ideas for Kids

Easy Angel Christmas Tree Topper to Make : Arts & Crafts Ideas for Kids, Teens, Preschoolers

Craft materials required:

• 1 large clothespin
• 1 toilet roll
• Wrapping paper or material
• White cardboard
• Magic Markers
• Glitter, sequins, etc (for decoration)

1.  Cut vertical slits (a couple of inches long) along the bottom of your toilet roll.  This will help the angel to stay in place once you’ve put her on the tree.

2.  Using the toilet roll as a guide, cut a rectangle from your wrapping paper or material that is a little longer than the roll, and that will wrap around it easily.  This will be the angels dress. Then, spread glue along the inside of the top of the toilet roll (the end that hasn’t been cut) and attach the paper or material.

You may need to leave a gap at the back (otherwise, the ‘dress’ will not sit right.)

3.  Next, we will make the angels body. Use your Magic Markers to draw a face and hair on the top part of the clothespin (everything from the split down will be hidden, as you will soon see.) I’ve given mine long brown hair and bangs, just like me!

4. Attach the clothespin to the inside of your toilet roll.

5. The only thing missing now are her wings. If you’re planning on using a lot of glue or paint, it’s usually a good idea to do this part first and work on the rest of the angel while the wings dry.

Fold your cardboard in half and draw one half of the wings (a quick Google search will bring up templates for this if you’re not much of a drawer!)

6.  Cut out, unfold and decorate.

(That green blob is supposed to be a star – it’s been awhile since I’ve used glitter glue!)

7. Attach your wings to the angel’s body and voila! A beautiful angel for your Christmas tree:
