Joanne Lewis • 28 October 2020

Easy Halloween Crafts with your kids this October - Bat and Ghost Bunting from Egg Boxes

You will need:

  • an egg box
  • scissors
  • black and white paint
  • paint brush
  • googly eyes
  • glue (hot glue gun ideally)
  • black felt tip pen
  • string or ribbon for hanging
Cut the top off your egg box and cut across into 3 slices, then cut each slice in half... Discard the 2 ends and you will be left with 4 usable slices.

Cut the ghosts with soft curvy lines and paint white. Cut sharp and angular lines for the bats and paint black.

Draw 3 black dots on the ghosts eyes and mouth and stick goggly eyes on to the bats. they can be the same size or different for extra fun. 

Once you have finished decorating your bats and ghosts, stick to a piece of string or ribbon with a hot glue gun (an adult may want to do this) or stick on with sellotape or staples then hang your bunting for spoooooooky decorations.

    I couldn't let Black Friday 2020 go by without some amazing deals for my wonderful and valued customers... I've missed you all so much this year, but have loved the few shoots I was able to squeeze in between lockdowns and Home Education. With all the optimism I can muster for next year (I am naturally a pretty positive person) I am offering some spectacular deals on vouchers for my Hertford Studio and outdoor or on-location sessions next year (packages may be given as gifts, but please confirm preferred locations around Hertfordshire and some parts of London, Cambridgeshire and Essex with me before booking).
