Welcome my “spook-tacular” crafty friends!

Today’s Clothespin Vampires Kid Craft idea is fun for all “spooky” ages and is simply made out of a flat clothespin, black cardstock and a lot of imagination.

They are not too scary {especially for the little ones} nor too hard to pull together. No blood or fangs needed!!! They are simply perfect to make in honor for the upcoming spooky holiday AND double as fun pretend play pieces too!

So what are you waiting for?? Let’s grab our supplies and really sink our fangs in to it!!! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Wooden Flat Clothespins
* Black/Red Cardstock
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Black Sharpie {or craft paint w/paint brush}
optional – rhinestones, glitter, glitter glue for a one-of-a-kind look!

Directions:

* First have children grab the black Sharpie and draw on a face, hair and body on each clothespin they want to create with. Don’t forget to make fangs!!!
* Now grab your cardstock. Cut out a black cape, as well as a red portion for that iconic vampire look. Go ahead and glue those pieces to the back of the decorated clothespin. Repeat for each piece you want to make.
* At this point, children can also add even more embellishments {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own “blood sucking” look.
* Once your Clothespin Vampires look how you like, let them dry completely and display/play with proudly afterwards!
