Nightmares from Bad Takeout

Happy Halloween!

My daughter and I made these take-out box characters last year. We needed something for craft night while the boys were out doing sporty stuff so I went to Michael's and just grabbed a bunch of things that were Halloween colored. The Halloween stuff was already marked down so we got a good deal on the take-out boxes, package stuffing, pipe cleaners and pom poms. We had construction paper, googly eyes, and glue.

We had no plan, no pattern, no pretty picture from a magazine for inspiration. You never know witch way things will turn out when you're winging it. Sometimes it's like you get hit with a bolt of lightening and things just come to life. So don't be afraid to play around, even if you don't know jack about what your doing! Especially at Halloween when you're only limited by your imagination, and your internal fright meter. Like I said before, we only do cute!
