Freelance Friday: A Glitter Halloween Cocktail Ring
 I recently stumbled across this wonderful Halloween craft that can be for both kids and adults. I am sure more kids will lean to this, but you never know an adult may want to have their own huge pumpkin glitter cocktail ring :) This project came from the blog, Crafty Modern. It was made with only using a few supplies including FolkArt and Martha Stewart paints. I am so envious of this ring, that I am definitely going to craft my own glitter Halloween cocktail ring over the weekend. To learn how to make this craft project click, here. Have you ever made a cocktail ring?

Teaching Thursdays: Halloween (or any holiday!) Necklaces
By:Candie Cooper - To see more crafts by Candie, please visit her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal.
Reversible domino necklaces can be whipped up for any holiday! You'll need Mod Podge, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, dominos, Apple Barrel paint in Limeade, card stock, paint brush, scrapbook paper scraps, embellishments, spider paper punch, cobweb rubber stamp, black permanent ink pad, eye screws, Dremel tool with small drill bit, ribbon or elastic, beads and mult-purpose adhesive...
 Swipe some paint onto white card stock
a paint brush and leave to dry.
I found this cobweb stamp and hole punch for $1 each at
the super-store! Great craft "staples." Use a permanent
ink pad to stamp cobwebs onto the green painted section.
Punch out as many spiders as you like from purple or blue
scrapbook paper.
Cut the cobwebs to fit the back of the dominos and Mod
Podge to the back side. Repeat to attach the spiders.
Apply a coat of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic on top of
the cobweb paper and leave to dry. Be sure not to shake the DM before
applying.
These super cute brads were $1 also! Use wire cutters
to remove the brads and glue on the front of the domino.
Use a tiny drill bit and Dremel tool to drill a hole in
the top middle of the domino.
Twist the eye screw into the hole. If the hole is
a little larger than the screw, you can apply a dot of glue and push in
the hole (this has happened to me if you can't tell).
Look at this perfect orange and black cord you can find
in the ribbon section of the craft store!
String the domino alone on the ribbon or along with beads
on black elastic. Knot the ends and slip over your head! Trick
or treat either way!
