Halloween Bat

Small Pine Cone Wreath

Cardboard circle was cut from recycled cardboard and covered in garden twine, leaving a hanging loop. Small Larch cones were arranged around and fixed using a hot glue gun.  This would have to be an adult craft because of the need for a glue gun. For a more festive look, coloured or sparkly twine could be used and the cones could be sprayed gold/silver.

Natural Twig Wreath




This natural wreath has a backing of cardboard covered in garden twine. The twigs were all collected from the garden and built up around the circles using a glue gun.A smaller circle of Larch cones was added in the middle. 

Halloween Witches' Cat



Simple little black cardboard cat, cardboard whiskers, goggly eyes and gel pen features. All fixed to a kitchen skewer wrapped around with hairy wool. The kids loved them!
