Does anyone know where this week has gone? Things have been so busy this week I haven’t had a second to post! I have been meaning to get Connor’s Halloween party invitations up for about 2 weeks now. Better late than never though, right?
Remember the Frankenstein Treat Bags that I was making for Matthew’s class?
Well… I still had a bunch of materials left over so I decided to make some Frankenstein invites too.
Materials
- green, black, white, and orange cardstock
- black baker’s twine
- black glitter
- circle punch or circle Coluzzle
- paper scorer
- black pen or Sharpie
- black ink
- clear drying glue
- pop dots
Directions
- Cut a piece of green cardstock 5 inches x 9 inches. Score at 7 inches. Ink your edges with black ink.
- Cut 2 pieces of black cardstock 5 inches x 3 inches. Place the 2 pieces together and cut small triangles in the bottom for hair {3-4 triangles}. Make sure that they do not go up more than 3/4 inches.
- Glue your black pieces on either side of the short green flap.
- Cut circles for the eyes from the white cardstock {I used the smallest circle on my Coluzzle}. Ink the edges with black ink. Using a black Sharpie draw smaller circles for the insides of the eyes. Cover the black section with glue and add black glitter.
- Use a small hole punch and punch a circle for the nose. Attach with a small pop dot.
- Cut out a shape for the mouth from the black cardstock. I added little teeth to mine as well. Cut out the bolt ears and glue to the back of the invite.
- Using the baker’s twine, add some stitching.
- Write up your invitation on a word processing program and print out. The top section needs to be less than 1.5 inches and the bottom section needs to be less than approximately 2 inches. Cut out and ink the edges. Mount on orange cardstock. Glue to the invite.
- Add some baker’s twine and a little tag to the top of the card for the child’s name.
And now it’s time to PARTY!!!
