Purple Sage Creations

SHOW~N~TELL halloween banner and spiders

Today's Show~n~tell is brought to you by my children...

 

We had a type of lazy weekend, but we were also feeling quite creative and ready for Halloween.  So the children got together and created this banner...

 

I cut the orange, green, purple, and black cardstock into 3 inch triangles.  They each decorated them.  Then we just punched holes in the top corners and attached the triangles to black and white gingham ribbon. 

 

This is a close up view of their artwork...

 
 

Then my 9 year old made the spiders from black yarn and black pipe cleaners.  We found a tutorial for these spiders at eighteen25.  You can check out the tutorial by clicking HERE.

 

I just love creative weekends!! 

 

DOWLOAD OF THE WEEK ~ aaargh!!

 

My little ones love pirates.  So when I saw these adorable little pirate sails at Cottage-Industrialist.com I just had to print them out. 

 

These little sails are originally intended for cupcakes (they coordinate with cute little cupcake wrappers), but I wanted to use them with deviled eggs.  My kids call deviled eggs *egg boats*...soooooo this was perfect!!  I even had to create a little ocean scene for the photo (tee-hee).

 

You can even get a whole line of pirate themed party decorations at Cottage-Industrialist.  Sooo cute!!

 

BTW... This will be the last week I do the DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK.  I thought I would have more access to downloads, but I don't.  I am still going to post on Wednesday, though.  I choose to just post whatever instead of limiting myself to downloadable projects.  So now you'll never know what I will feature on Wednesday!! More fun I think!
