MINI MAKERS: TOILET PAPER ROLL GHOSTS (WITH AN EASY HACK IF YOU DON’T HAVE T.P. ROLLS OR WANT TO SKIP THE PAINTING PART)

Sep 28, 2021kids + crafts

Planning on doing a round up of Halloween crafts and activities to do with the kids, but wanted to add these cute little boo’s to the mix first! They’re super simple, very festive, and double as fun decor around the house or in the kids’ rooms. Here’s how to make them…

TOILET PAPER ROLL GHOST CRAFT:

  • Toilet paper rolls or card stock cut to 5-1/2 inches tall x 4-3/4 inches wide
  • Craft paint (optional if using card stock)
  • Black sharpie or marker pen
  • Crepe paper streamers
  • Tape
  • String or ribbon
  1. Prepare a work surface and set supplies out. If using card stock, cut to size and tape or hot glue to make a cylinder/tube. Cut string and streamers to preferred length. Our streamers are approx 24 inches and string (to hang it) are 5-inches.
  2. If using toilet paper rolls, paint outside as desired. When dry, draw on faces.
  3. Tape streamers to inside-bottom of roll and string to the inside-top.

Love the whimsicalness of Halloween decor! Skeletons and disco balls!? Yes please! And once Christmas season rolls around, we’ll be able to swap out the skeleton with nutcrackers or bottle brush trees.

Do you have any favorite Halloween crafts, recipes, or decorations?

Happy crafting (+ decorating)!

xo, Rae

CRISP & FLUFFY HOMEMADE WAFFLE RECIPE

YOU’LL NEED:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (divide egg and yoke)
1-2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
TOPPING IDEAS: butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, *sprinkles, peanut butter, jam, *cacao nibs, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, berries, bananas, cinnamon, sliced peaches, fried or scrambled egg, etc.

HERE’S HOW:
Preheat your waffle iron and melt butter over low, if using stovetop.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk together.
Divide the egg yolk and whites into two separate medium sized bowls.
Add the milk, butter, and vanilla extract to the yolk bowl and mix to combine.
With a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Should only take a couple minutes and makes the waffles so fluffy!
Pour yolk and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir or whisk until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Add the egg whites and fold them into the batter gently.
Heat oven to 250-275 degrees to keep cooked waffles warm and crisp. Lightly grease waffle iron (I like to brush on a little butter). Use a measuring cup to pour batter onto waffle iron, until wells are almost covered. Close the iron and cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. (Tip: This is a great time to prep toppings or tidy up the kitchen. If you’re like me though, be sure to set a timer!)
Place cooked waffles in a single layer, directly on rack in oven. When ready, top and serve!
