Hello everyone!  Today marks day one of our very first Halloween Link Party and a simple Halloween craft that your kids will love.

materials

• paper-based egg carton {don’t use styrofoam…the paint won’t adhere as well}
• scissors
• paintbrush
• red, green, blue, brown, and black acrylic paint {you could also use tempera, but its prone to crack}
• optional: glow-in-the-dark paint {for special effects}

directions

1.  Cut egg carton into pairs.  Trim off excess to make it more eyeball-shaped.
2. Paint the whole egg carton white.  {if you add the glow-in the dark paint, do it after the white dries}
3. Paint the center for the pupil black.
4. Paint the iris your choice of colors: blue, brown, green, hazel, etc.
5. Add red squiggly lines for a bloodshot effect.
6. Place in random places all over your home {bookcases, cabinets, etc.}.
