DIY Air-dry Clay Ghost with Tea Lights Craft

We recently made these cute little ghosts using air-dry clay. Great DIY craft for your kids, grandkids, or for yourself, and set them right in there with all your Halloween decorations. 

Here’s what you need:

• White air-dry clay 
• Rolling pin
• Straw or lollipop stick
• Knife or a bowl 4.5” across
• Aluminum foil 
• Tea Lights 

Instructions:

1. Roll out a 2-3” ball of clay.
2. When it’s about 1/4-inch thick, cut out a 4 1/2-inch circle.
3. Continue to roll the circle until it’s about 6-inches in diameter.
4.  With the straw or lollipop stick, make two eyes a bit off-center. 
5. Use the aluminum foil to build a mold to drape the clay circle over the ball. 
6. Let the ghost dry for up to 48 hours. You may need to turn it over to dry underneath after the first 24 hours.
7. Rest the ghost over a tea light.

And the final project looks like this...

Below is our 10/19/22 LIVE video with the craft that starts at 20:00.

We hope you enjoyed this little tutorial. Do you decorate for Halloween? Do you make crafts for the holidays? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Keep it sassy,

Seed Packet Wreath Tutorial

***UPDATED 4/27/24***

We sisters love to craft together. Cathy came up with this craft idea and thought the seed packet wreath would make a great gift for Mama Sassy since she loves flowers. Mother's Day is coming soon.

It's an inexpensive gift, depending on where you buy your supplies, under $10. Rhonda picked up the 10" styrofoam wreath and the seed packs at the Dollar Tree for under $5. Cathy brought the glue gun with the glue sticks and I had the burlap ribbon in my stash of craft supplies.

What you will need:

• wreath, styrofoam, or wire
• ribbon, your choice
• seed packets
• glue gun with glue sticks

Instructions:

1. Wrap the wreath with the ribbon. Make sure you use glue to adhere to the ribbon at the beginning and the end.
2. Decide how you want to place your seed packets. You can color coordinate or use a random placement.
3. Glue the packets to the wreath.
4. Make your bow and adhere with glue.

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Floral Centerpiece

I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It  an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree and craft store. Let's get started!

Supplies:

• 3 pumpkin pails - Walmart
• Off white spray paint, preferably for plastic - Walmart
• Metallic acrylic paint - Walmart
• small paint brush - Dollar Tree
• hot glue gun  - Walmart
• hot glue sticks - Dollar Tree
• Jute cord - Dollar Tree
• some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc.
• assorted fall flowers - Dollar Tree

Instructions:

The first thing I did was spray paint the pails. If I had thought more about it, I would have glued them all together first then spray painted. But I painted them all individually. You may want to seal them afterwards as I found out the paint didn't adhere as well as I thought. I might go back later and seal. 

It took a few coats to cover. It didn't take long between coats to dry. I left the handles on because it was easier to handle them and transport them back to my craft room and finish the project.

After a few hours of dry time, I painted the faces with a metallic paint. It took a couple of coats of paint to make it look super gold.

After all the paint was good and dry, I put a large rock in the bottom pail for stability.

I glued the pails together with hot glue and when along the outside after they were all together and added more glue.

Jute cord finished this project off and hid the messy glue. I tacked the cord at the ends with hot glue.

I had a bunch of fall silk flowers in my stash and used them to fill the top.

I'm super happy with this craft. As you can see I didn't line the faces up on purpose because I thought it would add a little character to the craft.

Summer Craft Time Using Seashells - Sand and Sea Flower Pots

We girls recently made these on our YouTube LIVE. They are easy, quick, and a great use of seashells. I have a stash of seashells from all my beach trips so I shared them with my sisters. This craft is great for kids and a wonderful way to use the shells they have collected.

Here's what you will need:

• flower pot
• craft glue
• hot glue gun
• brush 
• sand
• seashells
• clear sealant
• tray or plate to put sand in

Instructions:

1. Get all your supplies ready to go. Hot glue on & sand in the tray.
2. Cover your pot with glue then roll it in sand.
3. When it’s dry you can use hot glue (for an inside pot) or a stronger adhesive like E600 (for an outdoor pot) to embellish your pot with shells.
4. You can spray it with a clear sealant if you like.

NOTE: Before placing the shells on the pot, we decided to mark the pot first with a marker, then glued the sand on the pot.

Where to buy these products: The terracotta pot, glue gun & clear sealant you can find at Walmart, and the other items at Dollar Tree.

See how we made these on YouTube at around 23 minutes into the video.

Thanks to The V Spot for the idea!! 

We hope you enjoyed this post. Comment below and let us know what you think about this craft. Maybe even give us some ideas on using all those seashells.

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Hey Valentine "I Dig You" Craft Idea

We recently found a Valentine's craft to do for our grandkids and it looked like an easy one to create. The only problem we had was finding the little white sand shovels. Needless to say, we couldn't find them this time of year but we did find some inexpensive plastic shovels at Walmart for only $.94 that would work in a pinch.

Kelly made the tags that she is offering to YOU for free. Just click the pdf file link below and print them on card stock paper.

Supplies you will need:

• Small plastic shovel Walmart or Amazon ( if you keep this idea in mind for next year, grab some shovels at the Dollar Store when they are in season )
• Clear plastic goodie bags big enough for the shovel and treats.
• Ribbon 
• Assorted candies, treats
• I DIG YOU tag
  
  
  

Directions:

Simply just put the shovel in the bag, add the treats, tie on the tag with a ribbon, wire, or whatever you have on hand, and wrap a pretty bow. "VOILA" you have a simple yet lovely give to give to your sweetheart.

Check out our video on YouTube as we show you how we put them together.

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Inspirational Gift Idea for Friends and Neighbors

 

I try to do something special for our neighbors, postal deliverer, and others at Christmas time. I saw this idea on Jamie Cooks It up blog post recently and thought what a wonderful idea. This year has been a little taxing on us all and we could always use a pick-me-up.
