Instead of DIY Wednesday we are doing it a day early. The reason? A simple costume for Halloween that I simply must show off! William Wallace aka Braveheart toddler style:
It got very cold, so, yes he does have pants under that kilt… and an extra shirt under his shirt. This costume also included a buckler and sword, but being almost two years old he quickly figured out throwing the sword and shield was super fun. This was our followup to last year’s viking costume.

I’m sure that if you are having a Halloween party this year you have probably already thought about the decorations. However, I thought I might provide a bit of inspiration for those of us that might…ahem…wait till the last minute. Enjoy this orange free and shimmery Halloween inspiration.
Instead of the traditional black and orange Halloween consider black with shimmery green and silver. Mix in skeletal bones and silver moon symbols as accents. Think absinthe cocktails, dark lace, and ravens to set a Gothic-sophisticated Halloween.

This weeks DIY project shows how to make some easy gravestone treat bags for Halloween. I am assuming you are making these for a party or small number of kids. We had over 150 trick or treaters last year so clearly they aren’t each getting hand made treat bags. However, some select family and friends will be getting Halloween favors.
Gravestone Treat Bags

Basic paper treat bag (Grey would speed up the process but good luck finding that)
Black & white acrylic paint (cheap is fine)
Old paint brush
Scissors
Optional:
Printer & stencil plastic
Repositionable Adhesive

Starting in the upper left-hand corner (click the links to see the recipes):

By Brianna, on November 1st, 2010 We were a little too busy celebrating Halloween and scraping paint off the mantel to wish you a Happy Halloween. We took the baby viking out for a spin. I couldn’t help but share the infant viking costume I made. It even had a felt axe to go with it:
Pacifiers keep him from pillaging the village. See, here is what happens when he doesn’t have one:
Marauding Baby! Run!
I made his baby viking costume, it was pretty easy just fake fur, felt, and leather string.
The rest of the evening we spent giving out
