Home & Family's Halloween Harvest

Materials

• Pool noodle OR Pipe Insulation Foam Tubes
• Spray Glue
• Fabric Glue
• Hot Glue
• Tan/Brown Felt
• Yellow Felt
• Craft Store Bees
• Scissors
• Tape Measure
• Doweling
• Duct Tape
• Floral Wire

Directions

1. Figure out/measure the area that will be the top of the costume(1^st and smallest circle) and where you want it to end on you (this will be the last and widest circle).

2. For the circles at the bottom, you might need to extend the noodle

3. To extend the noodle use a 1 inch dowel cut to 4 inches long to connect the two pieces of
noodle together. Use a low temp hot glue gun to keep dowel in place. TIP: To save time, you
can connect the two noodles with a dowel and then secure with duct tape on the outside
instead of glue.

4. Once you have your length, lay out the tan/brown felt and use spray glue to wrap and
attach it around the noodle. Trim any excess fabric.

5. Use fabric glue to fuse the seam of the felt together

6. Connect the two ends of the noodle with a dowel and low temp hot glue gun to make a

circle (make sure seams are on the inside) TIP: For the smaller circles, place a piece of duct tape around the connection of the two ends of your noodle. This will ensure that the two ends

will fuse together without separating. Remove duct tape once glue has dried.

7. Stack and glue the circles from bottom to top using hot glue

8. Glue on yellow felt to give the appearance of honey drips

9. Use floral wire to attach bees onto the beehive

Level:

Advanced

How-To:

Home Decor

Seasonal Event:

Fall, Halloween

1. Attach a 3 foot length of 2” Pipe to plywood base with 3 shelf brackets
2. Slide a 4-5’ section of 1 ½ “ Pipe into the 2” pipe (by sliding the pipe down in the bigger pipe. You do not need to secure it any more than this.)
3. Attach a 4-way connector to top of 1 ½” pipe.
4. From there you can add various lengths of 1 ½” PVC adding connectors as you go to create the tree shape you desire.
5. Build branches from 1 ½ “ to 1” (you want the branches to thin out). Off of the 1 ½” pipes add 1” 3 way connectors and attach thinner 1’ pipes.
6. Create spooky curved final branches with flexible PVC pipe and slip into the ends of 1” pipe. (To make extra curly, roll pipe into tight curl and zip tie together letting sit for a few hours to hold shape.)

TIP: Use PVC glue and screws to reinforce the joints if wanted

TIP: If you create longer branches, reinforce them also with glue and screws

Instructions for Tree Bark

1. Use 1 part water, 1 part Modge Podge and 1 part black paint
2. Stir together in a bucket
3. Take a portion of the brown paper (about 3 feet long) and rip it off the roll
4. Dip brown paper into the solution
5. Wring out the paper by squeezing it above the bucket
6. Wrap paper tightly around the pipe (to avoid it from slipping)
7. Let wet paper drip dry before adding additional paper (to create more texture)

TIP: *Anywhere you see a joint, careful not to cover it in “bark” so you can disassemble the tree for easy storage.

Directions for Wine Bottles

1. Clean off any labels of the wine bottles by soaking them in the sink for a couple of
hours. Take a sponge or straight edge to make sure all of the residue is gone off of
the bottle.

2. Outside in a ventilated area, start with your white spray paint. Paint the neck of the
bottle, and continue down about half way.

3. You do not need to wait for the paint to dry.

4. Take the yellow spray paint and spray your bottle, starting at the bottom and
coming up to meet the white, about half way up the bottle.

5. Take the orange spray paint and spray the middle of the bottle. These colors are
supposed to look ombre, so don’t worry about making straight lines. Your bottle
should end up looking like a candy corn standing up.

6. Let dry completely before adding it to your décor in your home.

Directions for Topiaries

1. Take the Styrofoam balls and paint them with the yellow acrylic paint, brushed on. Set aside to dry.

2. Set the ball inside the vase/urn and gauge where you want it to sit. Use a bamboo skewer to prop it up inside.

3. Take each candy corn and place a small amount of hot glue on the base of the corn
and place it on the ball.

corns.

Bring the folded closed edge upward about three inches to create the pocket, crease. Flip the folded napkin over with the closed edge nearest to you. This time fold in half from left to right.

• Silicone Loaf Mold
• Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base
• White Melt & Pour Soap Base
• Perfect Orange Color Block
• Fizzy Lemonade Color Block
• Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil
• Vanilla Color Stabilizer
• Isopropyl Alcohol 

Directions

1. 1. Chop 32 ounces of Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base into small uniform pieces. Then, chop 16 ounces of White Melt & Pour Soap Base into small uniform pieces. Place the following amounts of soap into three heat-safe containers.
2. • Container A: 16 ounces Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base + 0.5 ounces White Melt & Pour Soap Base
   • Container B: 16 ounces Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base + 0.5 ounces White Melt & Pour Soap Base
   • Container C: 15 ounces White Melt & Pour Soap Base
3. Add a small chunk of Fizzy Lemonade Color Block to container A and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Between each burst, stir the soap to help it melt evenly. If you want the color darker, you can add more of the color block and stir to fully incorporate. Once melted, add 0.2 ounces of Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil and 0.2 ounces of Vanilla Color Stabilizer. Stir in completely and pour into the mold. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Allow to fully cool and harden for about 15-20 minutes.
4. Once the yellow layer has hardened and can support a layer on top, add a chunk of Perfect Orange Color Block to container B. Melt the soap in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Between each burst, stir the soap to help it melt evenly.
5. Once melted, add 0.2 ounces of Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil and 0.2 ounces of Vanilla Color Stabilizer to the orange soap. Stir in completely. Check the temperature of the orange soap. If it’s hotter than 130 degrees F, allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the layer below. Once it’s the correct temperature, spritz the layer below with alcohol to help the layers stick and pour into the mold. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Allow to fully cool and harden for about 15-20 minutes.
6. Melt the soap in container C using 30 second bursts. Once melted, add 0.2 ounces of Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil and 0.2 ounces of Vanilla Color Stabilizer and stir in completely. Check the temperature of the white soap. If it’s over 130 degrees F, allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the layer below. Once it’s the correct temperature, spritz the layer below with alcohol to help the layers stick and pour the soap into the mold. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles.
7. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. Remove from the mold and cut into bars about 1″ thick. Then cut the bars into a triangle shapes with the white layer at the top. Repeat this process for the entire loaf.
8. Use the Clean Up Tool to round out the edges of each bar until you’re happy with the look. Enjoy! Wrap them in plastic wrap to avoid glycerin dew.
