Great Big Gobs…

Anyone remember that kid’s song that started Great Big Gobs…lol!  That is what I think of when I see these eyeballs!  This was another project that I sold at the recent craft fair.  I forgot to take a picture of all the completed ones…they were quite a site!  I only had two left, so I’m sure those will sell at the next craft fair.

I used the retired halloween designer paper from last year and Batty for You.  The plastic tubes were leftover from the Bath Oil beads that I used in the apothecary jars.  I’m glad I kept them!  The wrapped eyeball candy I found at the dollar store, they are chocolate crisps candy.  I knew I wanted to wrap a belly band around the center of the tube with Batty for You, but I was searching for a way to place something like an eyeball on top. 

I originally found some white bath fizz balls at Michael’s and altered one with red eyeball veins and a paper iris, but was afraid that kids would try to eat it, thinking it was candy, too.  Then, I found these Gummi Eyeballs at Walmart.  Aren’t they a riot?  They were already packaged in their individual containers.  I just trimmed down the packaging a little and added a pop dot to secure it to the top of the plastic tube.  (The plastic tube I closed and secured with a bit of Crystal Effects around the lid.) 

I LOVED how these turned out!  They were quick and easy to make.  The kids that came by thought they were great!

Batty for You

I’ve had these glass bottles in my "stash’ for a year or so, I think I bought them at Michaels.  I pulled one out and decided to decorate it for Halloween.  I also had a bunch of different colored Bath Oil Beads I picked up after Christmas last year for 25 cents a package (about 12 in each package).  Good deal!  The jar holds about 2 packages. 

I stamped the Frankenstein from Batty for You with his greeting Smell my Feet…appropriate…in Green Galore on Whisper White, then punched it out with the 1 1/4 circle punch, layered on the 1 3/8 circle and a Black Scallop Circle.  I printed out the words Monster Mash Beads on Whisper White and punched it, too.  Tied a black gingham grosgrain ribbon around the neck, sandwiching the tails of the ribbon between two layers of the black scallop circle.  Fun and easy Halloween project!

I’ve been on a roll working on my craft fair projects.  Yeah!  I’ll make sure to take pictures when I’m done to show you.  A couple CUTE things I worked on today…inspiration just hit!  I had no plans on making what I did.
