Halloween Crafts

I think today was one of my favorite girl scout meetings ever... Crafty, as president of the troop, and her VP did all the planning and preparing and even the teaching of the younger girls while they decorated Halloween cupcakes and made a spooky craft.

 

Crafty had spent a couple of hours cutting vinyl Halloween shapes on her CriCut. She had each girl put two of these shapes on the outside of a mason jar and then spray-paint the jar in Halloween colors. It was a beautiful, sunny fall day, but the paint was still not dry when the girls were finished with their cupcakes.

We sent them all home and then later, after they were dry, the kids pulled off the vinyl and added a candle to the inside. They probably should have painted them with a second coat of paint, because there were a few blank spots, but since this is their first try, I think they turned out pretty good.

Happy Halloween!
