Halloween Goodies + First Ever Download!

Yesterday I was trying to figure out a way to send Halloween candy to my friends & family far away – without just popping it all into ziplock bags and sending it on it’s way. With a couple of things I had laying around the house I came up with these little Candy Ghosties and churned out a dozen of them while listening to the football game. Each one takes about 15 minutes to make (or less) and the materials are:

+ Sheer Fabric: I used an extra sheer nylon curtain from an Ikea pack. If you don’t have any white fabric try felt or computer paper – less flexable but still can be sewn.
+ White thread and sewing machine/needle. I stitched the entire thing on my machine, but all or part of it can be done by hand (if you don’t plan on making too many).
+ 7 or 8 pieces of candy per Ghostie. 2 for the head, 1 per arm, 3 or 4 for body & tail.
+ Markers to decorate. If you’re really into it it would be cool to try embroidering decorations on before sewing up.
+ Scissors
+ Iron
+ Pencil
