Squishy Goblins and Ghouls

Well Halloween may have come and gone and we are now facing the impending snow and Yuletide decor. Since Little B wasn't feeling very good AND was teething, the week flew by and I was only JUST able to get these little tricks done :) So maybe this is just something you will have to tuck away for next year... I know I will ;)

Squishy Goblins and Ghouls:

You will need:
-balloons
-flour, fine sand or any other substance you want
-permanent markers
-yarn

*Originally I tried to use a funnel to fill my balloons but found that because mine was just made from paper, it wasn't working. You can try an actual funnel or just use a spoon and shake it down like I did.*

Once you fill your balloon up to the neck (since I used flour I made some balloons packed down and some more loose to create different consistencies) simply tie it. Then you are free to decorate them as much or a little as you want! Small pieces of yarn can be tied around the knot of the balloon to create some crazy Halloween hair-dos!

These little guys can be customized for any holiday! Why not try a snowman or a crazy little Easter egg? Oh the endless possibilities!!
