{Halloween Printable}

This is my first free printable, so I hope it works ok!

I've created a design that I plan to print onto thick card and cut out into tags using a Fiskars Seal of Approval Squeeze Punch (Extra Large). I'm then going to tie the tags onto some halloween lollipops using orange ribbon for my son's nursery pals. I bought some chocolate lollipops at Dobbies Garden Centre yesterday and I'm hoping that I'll be able to make these into scary spiders as per my Halloween Ideas post. If the tags don't look good on the spiders, then they will be tied onto the lollipop ghosts.

You can download my free printable here.

I drew the pumpkin myself using Adobe Illustrator but I did follow a tutorial by n.design studio. I'm new to Illustrator though so please bare with me as I get to grips with it!

Please let me know if you have any issues with the file and I'd love to hear your feedback...good or bad.

{Halloween Ideas}

So, we're now into October... can you believe it!?

This will be our first Halloween with two little ones, so I've been trying to come up with a suitable costume for them. I came across some great ideas from Pinterest, but decided upon a pirate outfit for my son and my daughter will go as his parrot!

No-Sew Parrot Costume from Baby Rabies

I've got a red tutu for my daughter to wear and I'm going to attempt some sewing to add feathers to a baby vest and I'm going to team this with some yellow tights or leggings... Think I'll also try and get a pirate hat for my son to complete his outfit. Watch this space!

I'm going to make these spider and ghost lollipops for my son to give to his nursery pals. I bought some black pipecleaners and googly eyes this morning from eBay.

Here are some ideas I've come up with for decorating the house. I have never decorated our house before for Halloween other than the odd blow-up pumpkin but I thought it might be nice to have a few decorations here and there, especially if it's ones that get the kiddies involved...
