Welcome to washcloth crafts!

TerryGami washcloth crafts can be incorporated into your Halloween festivities as party favors or as a craft activity.  You can prepare them in advance and let the kids decorate them before they leave to trick-or-treat.

Wonderful sparkle foam board bats, cats, spiders, pumpkins and witches are available at craft stores. There are also beautiful paper possibilites, too, but I prefer the more durable foam board pieces on washcloths. Sequins work well if you are making a lot of favors. Halloween sequins are available on line  I recommend that you use non-toxic, non-flammable fabric glue to secure the sequins and foam board pieces. 

Another tip is to punch out stars and circles to help spread out the larger foam board pieces. In fact, you can get away with only one cat or bat per favor, just use stars and poke-a-dots to decorate the rest.

I am trying to enjoy the process and the journey of expanding this craft, but I have to wonder what it would be like to have a staff to help!

Happy Crafting!
~Terry
