Web Wednesday: Sweet and Spooky Halloween Votives
Oh I am so excited the leaves are
starting to change colors, and the temperatures are finally cooling down. The
start of the fall season is the best time to enjoy the weather and begin to create
some fall themed crafts. This time of year is also perfect to get your kids
involved in crafting. There are so many easy and fun kid friendly crafts they
can create. One example of this can be seen in this Halloween Votive project.
Kate from the Cheap Crafty Mama created this project, using paper and Mod
Podge. To see step by step how this project was made click here to see the
materials and instructions.

The contest submission date runs from September 27th through October 24st.

down the entries to the top twenty pumpkins. The craft celebrities will
