Getting Ready for Halloween

I finally was able to get to making some of the great projects that we got to see at Convention '07 in Denver!  1170231-1011548-thumbnail.jpg
Two Lanterns hung from Black Organdy Ribbon - attached with a black brad
Shelli Gardner showed a great Halloween display and one of the items was a garland that she created using many different lanterns made from Stampin' Up!'s Creepy Crawly Designer Series Paper.  These were so easy to make from a half sheet of 12x12 DSP.  You simply cut the 6x12 piece into 12 one inch strips that are each 6" long.  Then, using the "just gotta have" Cropadile from Stampin' Up! punch a hole in each end of the stack of 6" strips.  1170231-1011552-thumbnail.jpg
Close Up of Lantern & Batty for You Charm
Using the black Gingham Ribbon, thread it through each end and secure with a knot at the top and bottom, squooshing the lantern to your desired height.  I've added little double sided charms onto the tails of these Jack-o-Lanterns that were created with the Batty for You stamp set.  Bitty Boos Too and Booglie Eyes would also make great charms to be added to the bottom of these lanterns.1170231-1011554-thumbnail.jpg
The Cropadile Makes punching a hole through the 12 layers easy as can be!
  If you would like to receive by mail an envelope containing all the supplies you need to assemble one of these lanterns, just leave a comment below!  Be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you.  I'll draw a name from those comments left and send out the lucky winner's envelope on September 12th!
