Halloween Eyeball Frame Craft Idea For Kids
I personally LOVE the $1 wood frames you find at Michaels.
There is never a time that I’m there, that I don’t pick up a few for my stash.
I just can’t resist buying them because there are just so many crafty things you can make with them {like our Decorative Ruler Frame and Watercolor Seashell Frame} and for the price of ONE DOLLAR, you can’t complain. It’s like a crafter’s dream come true and a real steal!
So if you haven’t guess yet, today’s Wiggle Eyed Covered Halloween Frame tutorial involves using one of those “fabulous” dollar frames and making easy Halloween decor on the cheap.
With just some green paint, school glue and tons of wiggle eyes – my son and I were able to make a “one of a kind” Halloween Eyeball Frame within minutes! I’m calling it a kid craft {because it’s so simple} but adults can make it too. Wouldn’t this look great on mantel decorated for Halloween? It’s like someone is always watching you….
Anyways – find all the crafty details below in the full eyeball frame tutorial!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your wood frame covered in wiggle eyes, on our Facebook page to see! #gluedtomycrafts
