Spooky Soap Dispensers

October 5, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 47 Comments

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?

And the rest of the Fall/Halloween decorations are up.

How was yours?

Projects from the Flickr group will be featured on Fridays.

And, there’s now a Flickr stream widget over in my left sidebar. Click on over from your reader and check that out

Man, I haven’t Flickr featured in ages! And there is A LOT of new stuff.

Today, I’m featuring 3 different versions of my zippered laptop sleeve tutorial.

First up, we have this one from Libby over at Scrap Happy, blogged here. I’m a SUCKER for Amy Butler fabric! I have a stash of that red and white polka dot that I’m rationing. I’ll probably cry when I use the last piece.

And then we have this one from Angie over at Nursery Rhymes & Sweet Times. She added some crazy awesome pockets. Go check out her post here.

And finally we have this Nook cover (the tutorial is measurement based so you can use it to make a cover for just about anything) from Melanie over at The Crafty Cupboard. Be sure to check our her freaking awesome Halloween table runner while you’re there!
