Halloween Teacher Gifts

Today the kids got to give their teachers a gift:


We used their handprints for the ghosts and I let them decorate the faces.

Bat candy bar wrapper template came from Skip to my Lou.  We put in a Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for the candy bar. 

For the Mummies, we wrapped a bag of microwave popcorn with white crepe paper and glued on some wiggly eyes.. 

I found some cute jack-o-lantern sticky notes and they each picked a Halloween pin to add to the bag. 

The hardest part was trying to find some small brown paper bags.  I finally settled on a roll of brown paper from the dollar store and sewed up the sides to create a bag.

Halloween Ruffle Skirt

I wanted to make a cute skirt for Halloween this year, for the girl who LOVES to wear skirts :)
I used the tutorial at From An Igloo and adjusted the size, added one more ruffle layer and changed the waistband to a wide piece of black elastic.  Super fun for the upcoming holiday!


Here are my measurements that I used:

Kyla's Waist: 23 inches
Length from waist to knee: 15 inches

Ruffle Layers: (one of each color)
62x6 inches

Waist:
 24 inches elastic (2 inch wide, black)

Lining: (2 total, mine were plain black)
31 x 4.5
