Make a Head Light Lamp

Make a Scary Halloween Plush Animal
It's the storyline of so many horror films and nightmares: a toy comes to life as an evil creature. There's something about the dark that makes innocent toys suddenly seem ominous and creepy. To play off that fear, I thought it would be fun to make Halloween decor that was creepy but not gory. It's really simple to transform an innocent plush toy from my sponsor Goodwill San Antonio into a creepy Halloween demon. Supplies: Stuffed animal (only $1 at Goodwill San … [Read more...]
