For today, I made a Witch Book to share with you. If you remember last year I made the pumpkin, Frankenstein and monster books. This is the new addition to add with them. You can view last year's books here: http://jeanscraftycorner.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-4-of-halloween-crafts-paperback.html if you would like to see them.
I started out with a book that I bought from the junk store and hot glued the front and back cover together. Then, I folded the pages in half for the entire book so it would form the circular shape I needed. Once the book was completely folded, I used green paint to cover the edges.
Now, I took green foil shreds and to make hair for the witch. I hot glued them to the top and sides. I got the small witch hat from Hobby Lobby and hot glued it to the top of the book.
For the nose, a piece of plain white paper was crushed up to look like a nose and then I painted it green. I also added a flat back black pearl to the nose also.
Finally, I hot glued two google eyes to the face, hot glued the nose and cut a mouth from the Pumpkin Carvings Cricut Cartridge and hot glued it to the front also.
I am entering this into the following challenge:
