Trick or Treat! Mummy Treats!



I still remember trick or treating as a child. The word would pass throughout the town quickly as to which house was giving out full-sized candy bars or quarters. We would all rush to that house before they ran out!

When I had kids, I decided I wanted to be that house. Since I live on a hill and get under 30 trick or treat-ers per year, I can afford to do that.

While blog hopping to some of my blogging "peeps" this week, I came across a great idea to jazz up my candy. Thanks Haley!

Let's begin with:

Hershey's Bars
White fabric you've ripped into strips
Googly eyes
And a hot glue gun




Hot glue your strips of fabric to the top of the candy bar wrapper, wrap the fabric around the bar haphazardly, then hot glue again at the end::



Almost a mummy!



Attach some googly eyes:



Repeat 25+ times! Look at the band of Mummies!



Way cuter than that boring bucket of candy!

BOO!

  9. Super duper cute!! Unfortunately I get about a 100 little trick or treaters....maybe I'll do it for Cubby's party at school...Oh WAIT! I CAN'T!! Only healthy things allowed...not one piece of candy! P.S.....the only people that gave out full size bars in our neighborhood just moved last year:(
