Cheerful Cards

I found some cupcake liners in my pantry.

And I thought, "This would be great to turn

from blah to Tada!"

So I used these to embellish handmade greeting cards.

The cards are made out of brown paper bags.

All you need are pens, scissors, glue, glitter and

a wild imagination to make it your own!

Cupcake Liners

Happy new week everyone!

I've been puttering around the kitchen

and look what I found:

Unused cupcake liners left-over from an afternoon of baking.

And since I don't have enough to make another

batch of cupcakes, I'm using them for

a week of craft projects!

From blah, they're now Tada!

I've turned them into award medallions!

Use these for school or office contests,

give them as awards or attach them to prizes!

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween!

I figure you're busy putting the finishing

touches on your Halloween costume or decor and

buying your tricks & treats to give away.

Don't forget the candy bucket for the kids

the haul in the loot!

Today, let's revisit some of my blah-to-Tada!

crafts from last year:

A bucket made from an empty yogurt tub.

Here's another version made from a cleaned out

ice cream container.

And this bag is made from an old tank top.

Blah to Tada!

Have a fantastic weekend and a

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween Treats

This week, we're gearing up for Halloween and

re-visiting a few blahs for a new set of Tadas!

Remember what I made out of toilet paper rolls?

Let's make something timely for fright night.

Blah: empty toilet paper rolls

Tada!: Halloween treat containers!

The paper rolls are wrapped in black & white (or orange)

paper, tied at the top with thread & decorated with

a scary sticker. These are filled with treats:

Tiny pumpkin erasers

Small Dracula erasers

Candy

And lots of stickers!

I can't wait to hand these out on Halloween!

Halloween Decor

Halloween is this weekend and while you may be

busy putting your or your kids' costumes together,

have you thought of decorations for

the trick or treaters who will be

stopping by your place?

Blah: fabric softener sheets that

came out of the dryer.

No use for them anymore.

Tada! Halloween buntings to hang on a doorway,

windowsill or ceiling.

Get the kids to help you by drawing Halloween

characters on the dryer sheet with

a permanent marker.

Happy crafting!

Creative Cobwebs

Several weeks ago, I turned these fabric softener sheets from blah to TADA!

Well, I have another idea that's perfect for Halloween.

blah: used dryer sheets

Tada!: creepy cobwebs!

All you need to do is stretch the dryer sheet in different areas. Stretch them lightly or stretch them with force, let the ends fray...until they look like cobwebs.

Use them to decorate the front door, a window or a table.

If you don't have dark fabric, use a black garbage bag to line the table. Lay on your cobwebs and add your tricks and treats!

You can go here if you want to learn how to make the "boo" candy pail.

Ideas for Halloween

Hello! Halloween is just around the corner

and this week, I have some ideas to

get you into the Halloween spirit!

Remember this garden light that

I made from a milk carton?

I'm making something similar today.

Blah: an empty {cleaned-out} milk container.

Tada! A spooky light you can use inside

or outside the house!

These battery-operated tea lights are a safe

alternative to real candles {they flicker too!}.

You can find them at the candle section of

the department store.

They set the mood and are safe for everyone.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
