party mode {crafts}

Emeili's 6th Birthday Party is on Saturday.  We decided to have a girly Halloween party inspired by the Belle and Boo Halloween series.  We are doing fairly low-key.  We have two crafts planned and a popcorn bar so they can eat in style while watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."  

One of the crafts was inspired by a tree pillow I saw on Pinterest.  I bought mini canvases at Michael's.  I think the cost was round $1 for each canvas.  (They came in packs of 5).  Then I bought 8x11sheets of brown flannel craft with a sticker back.  I can't remember the price of the flannel but it was around .50 cents each.  You are going to cut the flannel in half.  

Then simply draw a tree with branches on the back on the flannel and cut it out.  Peel the sticker and place on the canvas (see above pic)

Then I cut out "leaves" using left over fabric I had around the house.  I needed about 12 -14 leaves per tree / child.  I cut out about 150 leaves.  

Then the craft project for the kids will be to glue the leaves onto the tree canvas (see below).  The kids can also color in the canvas with crayons and colored pencils.

Ta Da!
