Make It Monday- DIY Simple Doll Sized Halloween Costume

Karen here and this year my boys have been so creative with what they wanted to be and I am sharing my son Alex's costume in doll size. Alex wanted to be a Twister Board for Halloween and this costume is so easy to make and one I think you are going to love for your doll.
To make your own you will need:
-1 piece of white cardboard or paper
-Markers in Red, Blue, Yellow and Green
-A Pencil
-A Small Bottle to trace the circles with I used a bottle of fabric paint
-24 inches of ribbon
-Tape
-A Ruler
-Scissors
Step 1- Cut a piece of cardboard or paper 10 inches by 6 inches
Step 2- Use a pencil and trace 4 rows of 6 circles
Step 3- Use your markers to color in the circles as shown in the photo above
Step 4- Use your red marker to write the word Twister at the bottom right and the top left.
Step 5- Cut your ribbon into two 12 inch pieces and tape one end of each on the back of your Twister Board
Step 6- Tie the ribbons behind your dolls neck and she is ready to trick or treat! Here is what my son Alex's costume looks like too!
Thank you for joining us for this Make It Monday Craft! We hope you have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Make It Monday! Cherry Hand Pies! Happy Columbus Day & Canadian Thanksgiving!

Karen here and it is Thanksgiving Monday here in Canada. Popular where I live are hand pies. Hand Pies are small pies you can hold in your hand and are some of the most delicious pies around! We even have a food truck that sells only Hand Pies!
Here is how you can easily make doll sized hand pies!
To make your own you will need:
-Tan or Light brown Fun foam
- Small Red Pompoms
-Scissors
-Low temp glue gun and glue sticks
-Ruler

Step 1- Assemble all your supplies and plug in your glue gun. Use your ruler to cut out 4 1 inch by 2 inch pieces of fun foam.
Step 2- Use your scissors to cut 2 slits in the fun foam that look like air holes for your hand pie.

Step 3- Add two dabs of glue on the other piece of fun foam and press the pompoms into place
Step 4- Place the piece of fun foam with the slits over the top of the pom poms and run a line of glue down one side. Carefully press and hold it into place until it is set or dry.
Step 5- Add another line of glue on the other side and press the other side closed. Press and hold until set.
Step 6- *Optionally you can add glue at the ends of the hand pies but I found mine held tight with out it. Repeat steps 1-6 on your remaining fun foam to create the other hand pie.

These little pies will fit nicely in your dolls hand and look great on a dolly plate too!
