Halloween Treats!


Today was Halloween, so of course we created some spooky art - Halloween treat boxes and Halloween garlands.

For the boxes, we used:
*Folded cardboard takeaway boxes
*Coloured paper
*Coloured sticker paper (optional)
*Gluesticks
*Scissors
*Textas

Method: decorate the boxes with creepy images: vampires, ghosts, witches, cats and zombies!  The boxes could be stand-alone sculptures or used to store whatever you like inside.










For the garlands, we used:
*Paper/cardboard
*Scissors
*Textas
*Hole punch
*Scissors
*Transparencies (optional - we used them for see-through ghosts)
*Twine
*Sticky tape

Method: cut out your decorated spooky shapes, carefully punch a hole in each side of the shape, and then thread the twine through. I used a bit of sticky tape on the back on the twine through the punched holes in order to stop the objects moving around too much.
