Fall Teacher Treats

I thought I should recap Halloween and Thanksgiving treats before posting about our Thanksgiving Day!  For Halloween I made a family pumpkin.  The orange part is Natalie's palm prints, the brown stem is Olivia's footprint, and the green leaves are mine and Andy's thumbprints. Really cute and something  I will eventually frame and use as decor.

I scanned it and shrunk it to fit on a tag for Natalie's teacher treats.  I dyed melted chocolate and dipped pretzels into it to make pumpkins then added green M & M's for stems.  I had leftover glass containers from my sister's baby shower and some green crinkle paper.  I attached the sign to a stick and VOILA...a pumpkin patch!

The pre-school had a Halloween party and I made the mummy wrapped juice boxes.  Super simple and quick but I cannot find the picture to save my life!  Ugh!  I think it's something you could do for almost any holiday.
For Thanksgiving I bought a bag of Reese's pieces.  I created the tag using one of my favorite DJ fonts.  The turkey is Natalie's thumbprint and I added the colorful details.  Love finding leftover bags!

Trick or Treating for Adults

I always love using Natalie in my crafts- especially the ones I give away.  So around her first Halloween I got the idea to give out candy to my girls at work...

Halloween Candy Tags

I've done these the past 2 years.  The first year, I did footprint art.  I put white paint on her foot and stamped it on black paper- I them colored it to look like candy corn.  I added this to a small bag of candy corn.  This picture was taken before I colored it.

                                                                                

This past year I did palm print pumpkins.  I put orange paint on her palm only and stamped it on white paper.  Cut it out, add a stem (brown paper bag) and a leaf (small green button).  I added this to a small bag of candy corn.
