Boo!

Lookee what I made for DS's JK class:

















Isn't that cute? DD wants the monster one for her class. I said I'd do it if they had a Halloween party, but I'm thinking now that they're going to be a lot of work.

Our house is covered in cobwebs. So the front porch looks a lot like the ceiling in the kitchen. And the living room.

We began to make the giant paper maché spider that will hang out front of the house, but again, I was too ambitious. The balloons are only half-covered in newspaper. The straw legs are pitifully splayed over the garbage bag that keeps the glue from getting all over the floor. Hardly menacing.

I'm out of black paint for the spider, but there's some leftover brown from when we painted the nursery (now DS's room) in forest colours.

Editted to add icing bag and tips. Tips 47 (basketweave, smooth side, for bandages), 5 and 2 (round, for eyes) were used above. Also, that's a pic from the Wilton site, not what I did. Mine were good, but not to the same level of freakish perfection.
