Adult Caterpillar Halloween Costume (One Size)




Christmas table decorations can really bring about the holiday spirit into your home. Depending on the decoration that you choose the prices can vary greatly. The economy in today's times can make it hard to purchase the decorations that we would like to have. Well there is a great alternative to buying Christmas table decorations.

Have you ever thought about making your own decorations? This is something that you and the whole family can participate in and have a great time doing. You will find in this article a great idea for making your own Christmas decorations.

This decoration that can be crafted is Styrofoam snowmen. This is very simple to make and the materials needed are very cheap. The materials that you need are three styrofoam balls in sizes of 2 , 2 and 3 inch increments. You also need four toothpicks, small black pom poms, glue, ribbon and a piece of orange chenille stem. With the largest piece of styrofoam you want to take a knife and cut a flat surface for the snowman to stand up.

Next take one of the toothpicks and press into the top of the bottom ball. Once you have done this, take the mid-size ball and press onto the other half of the toothpick. With a second toothpick, press it a little more than half way into the mid-size ball.

Then place the smallest ball onto the other half of the toothpick. This will make the head portion of the snowman. Once we have done all of this we are half way done with our Christmas table decoration.

Once we have done all of this we can take the remaining two toothpicks and place them on either side of the snowman. This will represent the arms. Now we want to take the glue and the small black pom poms and place the eyes, buttons and mouth.

Now for the nose we will use the piece of orange chenille stem. The final piece of material that is to be used is the ribbon that will be glued around the nick. The will resemble the scarf that the snowman will wear.

Christmas table decorations are the perfect items to bring about the Christmas spirit into your home. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year and you should want to display your holiday spirit everywhere. This includes your table area.

With this one frugal idea, you can save tons of money while providing some quality time with the family as you construct these wonderful decorations.

First Lady Pink Adult Halloween Costume Size Standard (O/S) (B399)

First Lady Pink Adult Halloween Costume includes: Dress w/ attached belt and hat. One size fits most up to Size 10.


Advent calendars are a fun and exciting way to countdown the days to Christmas. Each day a new surprise is revealed as Christmas Day gets closer.

A Christmas Pyramid Advent Calendar makes the countdown even more exciting, as bigger surprises, such as ornaments and decorations for the tree, can be revealed.

But perhaps the most exciting way to countdown to Christmas is to reveal, day by day, new elements for a nativity scene, culminating on Christmas Eve with a tiny baby to lie in the crib.

Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day and lasts for 21 days to Christmas Eve. So you will need 21 square boxes, all the same size, decorated with Christmas paper, or painted silver or gold. Alternating gold and silver, or red and green, looks even more impressive.

Take the lids and remove the rims from three sides on each lid, using a sharp craft knife, leaving one rim intact. Paint a thin line of craft glue around the edges with no rim and dip in glitter. Allow to dry.

Make a hole in the edge of the lid opposite the remaining rim - right in the middle - and poke through a gold colored split pin. Open out the split pin on the inside of the lid so that it stays put. Do the same with all the remaining lids. Number each lid from 1 to 21 using stick on numbers.

Using craft glue or a glue gun, secure the remaining rim of each lid to one side of each box, so that it opens like a flap. Allow to dry thoroughly, and then start assembling your advent calendar.

Place boxes 1-6 side by side and make sure they are perfectly aligned with the lids at the front and the split pin handles at the bottom. Using craft glue or a hot glue gun, glue each box to its neighbor so you have a foundation row of six boxes.

Glue boxes 7-11 side by side for the second row, and place it on the first row as if you were making a pyramid of blocks. Glue it in place. There should be half a box length of the bottom row at each end of the second row.

Glue boxes 12-15 together, and make the fourth row with boxes 16-18, followed by 19-20 for the fifth row, and the remaining box - number 21 - on top. You should now have a pyramid stack of 21 boxes with flaps in front that open upward.

Put a Christmas tree decoration, a small gift, or a piece of a nativity scene in each box. The 21st box should hold something special - a glittering star for the tree, a Christmas candle, or the baby for the crib.

Place your pyramid on a shelf or in the window. You can further decorate it by covering the sides with glitter or placing Christmas ornaments on the steps.
