Did you see the super cute witch hat applique pattern over on UCreate last week?
I did.
And my niece Claire is rocking it. (Tangent: I swear she suddenly has WAY more hair than when I saw her 3 weeks ago.) She also has ruffles on the bum. The skirt is just a bunch of strips sewed side to side with a little waistband and then I hemmed it with bias tape.
Has anybody else tried the applique pattern? What other Halloween wear have you made?
*Totally ripped off the title from an email my SIL sent me.
And I’m adding another pic of the ruffles because they KILL me!

Did you know Crap I’ve Made has a Flickr group? You can find the link at any time up on my menu bar under Crap You’ve Made. Go add your stuff! Please?
Projects from the Flickr group will be featured on Fridays.
Remember the spooky soap dispensers from last week? I think Target’s probably wondering why they’re suddenly so popular.
My pal Tina made these (and had her friend with a Cricut cut the faces for her):
And brianneandfam made this one:
She cut the face by hand.
Kristina over at The Grassy Noall made this one using glittery fun foam instead of vinyl.
Has anyone else made the soap dispensers? Go upload pics to the Flickr group or link me to your blog and I’ll add them to this feature post!
Still haven’t heard from our first winner and we NEED to get this tutu out!

This wreath from Crafty Sisters…
I found a ridiculously awful ivy wreath on clearance at IKEA last week for $2.99. I sprayed it with black spray paint and then wrapped it with a black feather boa from the party supply store.
I used dollar store ping pong balls (9 for a buck!) for the eyeballs, just like in the original.
I used foam stencil dauber thingy (I’m sure that you now know EXACTLY what I’m talking about on account of my brilliant use of the English language) to make the irises. I did a layer of green craft paint first and then a layer of Extreme Glitter. You can’t really tell, so I’m not sure that I’d go that route again. I used the handle dipped in black craft paint for the pupils. And then I hot glued them in place.
What’s hanging on your Halloween door?

I found these plain orange soap dispensers at Target on clearance last weekend.
And my mind started spinning.
And pretty soon Macy had every.single.one left in the store piled in her arms.
I cut out some jack o’ lantern faces with my Silhouette, but you could EASILY cut these by hand. The Silhouette’s just made me lazy. 
And then I tied some crazy ribbons, ric rac, etc around the tops.
(That one reminds me of the Kool Aid Man.)
Easy, cute, cheap and perfect for gifting. Maybe your kid’s teacher? Your neighbors? Yourself?
