BOOing, snail mail style.

We are HUGE fans in this house of Booing our neighbors.

Its turned into such a fun tradition, that we are have been the family to start it each year.

The other day I was making some fun tissue tassels, and thought I knew a few friends that would find them a fun little halloween treat. So why not BOO! through snail mail?!

I put together this little card to include in my package...

For the tassels I used this tutorial, I bought tissue paper at Party City for .99 a package, and with only using a sheet per tassel it was a SUPER cost effect project. Then I wrapped it up with enough yarn for them to be hung and included some stars for added bling.

Here is what I did with mine...

I excited to see the snail mail BOOing take off and other join in the fun. Please share if you do send something off, I would love to see it!

Happy Halloween Month.

DIY Skull Tees {and guest post}

Today I have the honor of guest hosting on the eighteen 25 girls blog!

They have a spooktacular September, and everyday posting great Halloween projects and giveaways.

After making my project for them, my mind started turning and thought it would be cool to make some tees.

But instead of using freezer paper, cause the thought of recutting the stencil over and over made my head hurt. So I came up with another approach.

I took a plastic divider and cut a reusable stencil out of it.

For my details on cutting out the stencils check out my guest post.

Then to stick it on I used a little double sided tape. Just cutting around the stencil so it fit the back.

And for this project I made two different versions, a bleached one {which again check out my guest post for details} and a black dye version. Which is pretty straight up, stick the stencil down and spray.
