Spooky Trees

Way back on my birthday when I had Dianna and Tracy over for crafts, I demonstrated how to make spooky trees using pipe cleaners.

All I did was bundle up about 10 pipe cleaners then take another pipe cleaner and twist it around them at the base to make s trunk. Then I sculpted the top of the cleaners into a tree.

I had the hubs cut me a small square of scrap wood, which I painted black. I used a styrofoam ball cut in half and glued it to the base. Then I wedged the tree trunk in. I covered the base in moss and placed a mini pumpkin at the base. I randomly placed some tiny leaves around the tree. Pretty simple. 

I am Going to be Famous Among My Neighbors!!!

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog understand my passion for my puppy. And if you have met him I am sure you feel the same (hehe). So when I saw these I can't resist trying one. I have said before I am not a great pumpkin carver and this will probably end up being a hot mess, but I'm doing it for the kids..er dogs!

I can't decide which one is the most like Rolly. We know he is a Border Collie mix, but I'm not sure if that matches him the best. What do you think?

You can view all the options at Better Homes and Gardens.
