More cheap and creepy makings for Halloween



Here are my very easy to make creepy dollies to hang on trees or around the house (how charming!) for Halloween. From one of the dollar stores I found baby dolls to repurpose. First, I clothed them in 8" wide strips of muslin, cut long (about 2', depending on size of doll). Fold over in half, cut a round hole to put over their heads, fasten around the waist with a piece of black ribbon, then shred the bottom 'skirt' with scissors. With cheap halloween makeup ( you could probably do the same with crayons) we then added scars and dirt and red marks to their sweet little faces... From their ribbons, they hang quite nicely on tree branches, shepard's hooks, doorknobs. Total cost: about $1.50 each.
