Happy Halloween! Our Costumes inspired by our favorite movies! {#StreamTeam}

Thank you to Netflix for sponsoring this post! 

Happy Halloween!  Just wanted to show off the kids costumes this year.  They are all store bought (I know bad craft blogger), sometimes you gotta know when fold 'em!  

All the kids costumes are inspired by thier favorite movies or shows.  We have Netflix and LOVE it for the family!  I love that I can set the kids "station" to kids only shows.  They have a couple different kids setting depending on how old your kids are. 

Our oldest son is 6, and is totally into the Spy Kids movies. All of the kids are actually.  I know this costume is really supposed to be a solder of some sort, but he totally thinks it for a spy kid so it works! 

Our daughter is a Butterfly Fairy Princess.  Inspired by the Tinker Bell movies. These are also a huge hit will all the kids.  

And the Baby is a puppy dog.  He loves dogs in real life and on TV.  With Clifford and Hundly (from Curious George) being some of his favorites. 

So, what are you (or your kids) being for Halloween?

Tissue Paper Pumpkins {Tutorial}

I am here with another super easy Halloween Decor!  You might notice that we don't do scary around here.  I am just not into it, but we are still very festive!  I love fall colors and pumpkins that that is what we decorate with! These Tissue Paper Pumpkins are super easy and add such a big bang! 

Here is what you will need:

1. I got the kit from Martha Stewart (available at Michael's) but you totally can make this with orange and green tissue paper!  You need 2 pieces of green paper and 10 pieces of orange.

2. Stack you tissue paper with both pieces of green paper on the top.

3. Accordion fold about 1.5 inch wide folds.  Wrap a wire or tie a string around the middle

4. If you want you can cut the ends to be rounded.  I would do this after you folded it.

5. pull up the green tissue first. and bunch them together to make the steam.  try and pull the green tissue paper up to the center to make it as tall as possible. 

6. Fluff out the orange tissue paper but pulling up to the top and the bottom to make the pumpkin shape. 

7. Tie a string to the wire and hang from your ceiling. 

Easy Shabby-Chic Pumpkin Lights Garland

I am teaming up with QVC to make this cute halloween decor! 

Need super easy and cute Halloween decor?  You have come to the right place! 

Here is what you need to do: 

1. Gather supplies: Pumpkin Lights Strand, Fabric scrapes or fat-quarters in fall colors.

2. Rip your fabric into 1.5 inch strips

3. I find it is easier to hang the fabric on the light strand if they are hanging up.  Fold your strips in half and make a loop over the strand.

4. Pull both ends through the loop to "knot" it onto the light strand.

5. Repeat and repeat making a pattern across the light strand.  I put 2 fabric strips in-between the lights. If you want a fuller look you can put more. 

It also looks great for Christmas!

Felt Pumpkin Funny Faces (15 minute Halloween craft) ~Tutorial~

Here is a great Halloween craft that you can do in 15 minutes!  And it works as both Halloween decor AND a toy!  Great for the kiddos!  My Kids love the Funny Faces magnet toys and I knew that they would love this too! 

Here is what you will need: 

Circle cardboard (We got ours from our Frozen Pizza)

Felt (In a verity of colors but mostly orange, green and black)

Small box

Hot Glue

1. Cut your orange felt circle a little larger then the cardboard circle.  Cut small slits around the circle (about every inch or so)

2. Hot glue the orange felt to the cardboard circle overlapping the slits. 

3. Hot glue the small box to the back of the circle.  This makes it stand up and also provides a place for all the face shapes to go.

4. Cut out a steam shape from the green felt and hot glue it to the top.

5. Cut out simple shapes for the pumpkins eyes, mouth, nose, eyebrows, etc.  Keep the shapes super simple like you would see on a pumpkin face.

Test it out to make sure it works. ; ) 

If you really feel crazy you can add some accessories!  I added a hat, sunglasses, bow, flower and blond hair. 

And when you are done all the felt pieces can go right into the box!

Duck Tape Trick-or-Treat Bag Tutorial

Need a Trick-or-Treat bag?  Here is a fun one made out of Duck Tape!  It also could be used as a gift bag for Christmas too! 

1. Supplies: Fun patterned Duck Tape or Duck Tape Sheets, scissors, foam sheet (12X18)

2-3. Cover your foam sheet with the patterned duck tape.  The duck tape sheets make this so easy! But I also made one with just the tape too.

4. Cover the edges with a contrasting Duck Tape.

5-6. Fold your foam sheet in half and tape the sides closed.

7-8. Square off the bottom corners by pushing them into the middle. (See the picture of help)

9. -10 With the corner squared off, use duck tape on the inside to hold the corners in place and to reinforce the seam.

11-12.  Make a long strip for the handle by folding the tape in half and then use the tape to attach it to the bag.  Make 2 handles. 

I also made one with Super Hero tape for my son! 

You got Pumpk'd! - A fun Family Halloween Activity!

Here is fun family Halloween event for the whole family.  

We don't like to do scary... it is just - well, too scary for us! We still like to participate in halloween, so, my sister came up with an alternative to "you got boo'ed"- You Got Pumpk'd!  We liked the idea of having pumpkins on everyone's door instead of ghosts.  My sister and her kids Pumpk'd some friends this weekend and being a good blogging sister she took pictures for me!  

Here is what you do:

Print off the free download (at the bottom of the post!)

Load up a pumpkin or bowl full of candy and fun things.

Dress like Ninja's - this is a stealth mission!

Grab your candy bowl and head over to some friend's house 

Sneak up to their door and ring the doorbell

Race away and hide in the bushes so they don't see you!

Stay quite! 

Wait until grab their bowl of Halloween goodies! 

Here is a free printable for you!
