Googly Eyes!

Last Saturday, the 8th, I had some girls over for a Halloween craft!  I saw THIS frame tutorial several weeks ago and couldn't get over how cute it was.  What a clever idea!  

I had Brinly (who I've crafted with before) and Christie from the ward over, and Kristell (who I just wrote about here) happened to be in town so she came too :)  We headed to Michael's to grab our $1 frames (what a steal!), paint, ribbon, little wooden letters, and googly eyes.  The other girls got more creative and adapted their frames with different colors and words, but I pretty much did mine just the way the tutorial has it - I'm just that kind of girl - not very spontaneous..haha :)  The "E's" for "EEK" were all out at Michael's (they sell the letters separately for 39 cents each) so I picked up a whole pack of like 60 wooden letters for about $4 from Hobby Lobby.

Anyway, it's pretty self-explanatory, but check out the tutorial if you need any help.

Christie and Brinly both headed out before I realized we hadn't gotten any pictures!  Luckily Kristell was still around and we actually got a picture together (we've been friends for a good 2 years and I've never gotten a picture with her!)

In the process of creating our cute frames!


And my completed frame!  

 

I guess I didn't follow the tutorial exactly (go me!).  I didn't fill the whole frame with googly eyes and I did my "EEK" in purple :)  Sorry the picture is so dark!  It was hard to get a good one.  It looks much better in person! Now if we just had a picture to put in it ;)
