Craft Cute Bottle Cap Puddings for Halloween

Top, Spider Puddin' Pies for the doll's Halloween Fun!
Bottom, Jack-O-Lantern Puddin' Pies the size of a nickel.

    These tiny Halloween puddings are sure to be popular with any dolls this coming October! You will need to collect bottle caps for the project, so be on the look out for them. Ask your older family members to save the bottle caps that have the fewest amount of dents. Sometimes these can get too bent up to use twice if they are removed forcibly from the bottle.

Supply List:

• discarded, clean bottle caps
• puff paints: black, white
• orange glitter glue
• Sculpey or any oven bake clay
• tan acrylic paint (for the pie crusts)
• tiny paint brushes

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. First, remove the sticky plastic liners from the under side of the bottle caps. This can be difficult to do if you are very young. Ask an adult to help you.
2. Take a small bit of oven-bake clay and press it into the lip of the bottle cap and bake at 275 degree oven for five to seven minutes. (see photo below)
3. Let the bottle caps cool completely and then squeeze black and/or orange puffy paints into the middle of the caps. This will be your doll's pudding.
4. It may take several days for the puffy paints to dry depending upon the weather or where you live. After this paint has hardened, use a small amount of tan acrylic paint to cover the edges of your pie crusts.
5. If you wish to paint the spider webs, use two colors of puffy paints to make these tiny marks. I chose a transparent sparkly white and a regular white for my painted webs. Be careful about squeezing the paints out of their bottles; work slowly. (see photo above)
6. Use black puffy paint to make the faces on top of the pumpkin puddings.

The oven-bake clay should be worked tightly into the corners of the
bottle caps, so that the clay looks like tiny shaped pie crusts. Remove
the plastic coating inside the bottle cap before baking the clay at
 275 degrees.

Hallowe'en.

The night wind whispers--Ghosts!

They are waiting for their hosts;

The waning moon is weary and will not be up till late;

Already there are shadows at the gate.

A word, half heard, that is whispered in your ear,

And a presence that is felt when no one else is near.

Have you been along the corridors alone - all alone -

And listened to the wind up yonder making moan?

Have you thought about it all,

The footfall in the hall

That comes and goes - comes and goes -

With the measure of a heartbeat of a life that ebbs and flows?
