Halloween Pencil Toppers

We were feeling crafty after making our pom-poms spiders so Gray and I decided to make some Halloween pencil toppers.

We had some left over foam Halloween shaped bead thingies from a Halloween garland kit that the boys did; some orange pipe cleaners, and again my fav. a hot glue gun.

First we wrapped the pipe cleaner around the pencil.

Then we put a dab of hot glue on the back of the foam shape and pressed the pipe cleaner into the glue.

Then Gray thought they needed a little pirate. So we glued some pirate jewels on each topper.

The really cool thing was how both boys played with them for the longest time! They were like little pencil puppets. Who would have thought something so simple would be so fun!?!
