Ok ladies, we've committed to using our materials in new and exciting ways... We've sworn off all our favorite vices except chocolate... It's time for the rubber to meet the road!
This will be a Trick or Treat Halloween Challenge. Make a small item of your choice, using only materials you have on hand - and this time no purchasing to fill in any gaps! If you don't have enough, you'll have to find something else (sorry, ask my kids - I'm really mean ). You know, make it do or do without...
Anyway, what you make is up to you. It doesn't have to be anything big. It just has to be done by Thursday night so you can post your photos on Halloween. Put your pumpkin shaped thinking caps on, get out your favorite black and orange striped socks (you know you have some), put on Monster Mash, and have some Halloween fun! When you're done, and after you post your photo, treat someone special to your little creation.
I can't wait to see your photos! Happy Halloween Crafting!

And it certainly qualifies for the "use only what you have on hand" part of the challenge...

bark is a great idea! I've got fake orange and red leaves that were sent to me...I'm sure I could do something with them.

Just came in from doing the leaf thing outside with kiddos. Found some interesting big bark pieces - now I need to rethink what I'll do for the Thanksgiving challenge... Ideas are spinning, spinning, spinning...

I had a blast too, and can't wait to get started on the November project, as soon as I figure out what I'm going to make of course!

Challenge posted. BTW - I'm working on a Stashaholics 12 days of Christmas challenge. So far I'm up to day 3, so if anyone has any neat ideas on days 4-12, I'd love to hear them!

I like the idea of thankfulness/gratitude. Let's use that...

How about since November is the month of Thanksgiving, we make either a Thanksgiving themed item. Or we could use thankfulness/gratefulness as the theme..or both?

Diana, that is just gorgeous! I love how the scene is also on the back of the vest. Will you wear it or is it for someone else?

Okay, here's my Halloween project. I had gotten some fabric off of freecycle so decided to use it to make this vest.

Here are my trick or treaters out in the yard
They were made by using metal for the body that my hubby welded together, old sweats and jeans from my son, some left over white fabric, some ribbon for the girl, and some old hospital socks. Oh the heads are old basketballs...lol
We've had some terrible winds here lately,so pics aren't the best.
