A fun craft.

At church, on Wednesday, we made some fun Halloween crafts. If you are looking for something to do with the kids and you've already frosted the cookies, and picked and carved your pumpkin, these are a fun aftenoon activity.
I just made a purple Royal icing. You use 1lb. bag of powder sugar, 3 eggs whites, and 3 tsp. of cream of tartar. You whip it with a hand mixer or in your kitchen aid mixer for about 5-7 minutes. It should form peaks when it's done. If you aren't going to use it right away put a damp cloth over it. While the girls frosted we kept the cloth over the middle of it just to ensure that is would work for them before it dried out. This frosting dries very very hard. We decorated with: candy corns, Peeps, Hershey's bars, chocolate licorice, tootsies, marshmallows, fudge oreos, and some fun ghost sprinkles.

Another fun craft is to wrap empty toilet paper rolls with cute halloween material and ribbon and add some stickers or marker it to say a halloween phrase. Tie the hanging ends of the wrapped fabric with a ribbon and you have what looks like a big piece of candy. We filled them with candy last night, also. I'll try to post pics of mine later.
