Inspired by the iconic Disney movie, today we are taking basic craft sticks and creating a spell-binding piece that even the Sanderson sisters would have loved!

PAIR YOUR HALLOWEEN CRAFT WITH —> Paper Handprint Witch Keepsake
Spell Book Craft Supplies:

* Foam Paint Brushes
* Small Paper Plate
* Hot Glue Gun
* Black Colored Cardstock Paper
* White Cardstock Paper

Directions:

* When the paint is dry enough to the touch, get your glue gun hot and ready.
* Lay your seven painted popsicle sticks next to each other, in a row.
* Take the two remaining popsicle sticks and glue them the opposite direction on one side, for the “binding” of the book.

* Go ahead and glue those in place on the popsicle stick shape.
* Now take the plastic bugs and hot glue those, anywhere you like, onto the book shape. Since the bugs are made out of plastic, you should be able to cut them apart as well. I felt like my bugs looked like stitching, as well gibing it a creepy Halloween feel.
