Buried Skeleton Cupcakes

I was browsing all of the great posts over at Edible Crafts when I saw these cupcakes from Holidash:

They remind me of my favorite addition to our Halloween menu last year, Dead Man's Dip:

I will have to decide between the dip and the cupcakes this year.  How wrong would it be to make buried skeleton cupcakes for a three-year-olds birthday?  The buried skeletons might have to wait until she is a little older.

You can see the tutorial for the cupcakes HERE and the dip HERE.

Milk Jug Skeleton

I picked Ruby up from preschool the other day and one of my neighbors had a cute skeleton hanging from her tree made out of empty milk jugs.  I took a picture with my phone, but it didn't come out very well, so I did a little searching online and found Mr. Bottle Bones from Family Fun:

After a litte more searching I found this cute guy that Little Gene Green Bean made:

She used the tutorial found in the Family Fun magazine:

You need quite a few empty milk (or water) jugs, so this is a project that will have to wait until next year,  but you can head over to Little Gene Green Bean right now and check out all of the cute kid friendly crafts and activities she has on her blog.

Skeleton and Tell

Here are some 'spookies' from Show and Tell Saturday!  And by spookies I mean skeletons, because that is what Ruby calls them.  So you have to say "Spooooooooooookies" in your best three year old scary voice.

Andrea from My Little Mello Family used a bleaching technique to turn a plaint t-shirt into this fun design:

The Diary of Dave's Wife a tutorial for making your own skeleton:

Crafty Mama shared how to make this cute clip with skeleton ribbon:

and a stencil for a skeleton shirt out of freezer paper:

This cute little guys (Or should I say guy and girl) from Stuff By Ash is made from  Q-tips:

Cafty Inkspirations turned her Dollar Store finds into a skull lantern:

And All Things Made By Kelly used the same skeleton heads for her wreath:

Skeleton Invitations

Another fun invitation for your Halloween party are these skeletons from Martha:

It isn't so much the skeletons that I love, it is more that they are stuffed in black envelops that remind me of coffins.  You can see the tutorial and get the template HERE.

Even if you aren't having a Halloween party, the skeleton template could come in handy!!

Skulls on a Rope

Dollar Store Crafts shows you how to make this skull soap on a rope:

I am thinking you could use crayons and make a skull crayon necklace as a party favor, or white chocolate and make an edible necklace.  I am actually wondering if you would work it so that there were a couple on the same rope.

I need to find a skull ice cube tray at my dollar store!
