Last Minute Fix

So, my stepdaughter has a trick or treat event going on at her school this evening.. and we spent a greater portion of the afternoon getting her all dressed up, and made up, etc... in time for my husband to get home and bring her. Well, half hour until he arrives.. whoops.. no trick or treat pail and she didn't want to bring a walmart bag with her (I didn't blame her lol) so I went into her room and dumped out her tin icarly bucket full of junk, (yep, another mess to clean later.. oh well) and had her go to town ripping construction paper. It was easy, a little tape and a little creativity can go pretty far. And, as an added embellishment, we taped on a bat from the bat-mobile project I worked on a couple years ago. I didn't get a picture of her.. (go figure) but she is going as a devil, so we stayed with the red and black theme.   The best part of this project is.. nothing is permanent.. just rip off the construction paper and the pail is still in good shape. I am sure you could do the same method, with an old oatmeal container or anything of that sort, by punching holes in the sides and stringing something through them.. possibilities are endless. Happy Halloween!
