The Home Engineer: Glue Ghost Crafts
12:00 AM | 
Posted by

We love doing crafts here! As part of being The Home Engineer, I need to keep things fun, fresh, and exciting around here. :) So, this week we made these ghosts are they are super cute (and easy!)
{I got the idea from here}
*What You'll Need*
white school glue
waxed paper
wiggly eyes
felt, buttons, pom-poms (optional)
*Directions*
1. Place a piece of waxed paper on a flat surface.
2. Squeeze glue from a bottle into the shape of a ghost.
3. Place wiggy eyes into the glue.
4. If you'd like to decorate your ghost, use the materials above to make it however you'd like. Or leave it plain like we did!
5. Set aside out of reach to dry overnight - expect it to take all of the time overnight and maybe a few hours more to completely dry.
6. Once they are dry, the ghosts will look like they blend into the wax paper. Carefully peel them off the paper and use as decorations around the house.

The Home Engineer: Organizing Art Work

How do you organize your child's art work? Need a new system? This has worked so well for us and it's easy to remember where each project is!
Each year has a folder. You know, one of those cheap 2 pocket folders from Target/Walmart. (some years have more than one folder). I label the outside of each folder with the child's name and year on it.

Another great way to display your child's art work is to buy/make a board like this. I got mine off Etsy
We display for the season/month that it applies to then it goes into the folder/binder.
Once the year comes to an end, I place the folders/binders in a milk crate (if it wont be in the attic) or Rubbermaid bin and place it in the attic.
Was this helpful to you? Let me know! I'd love to hear from you! What would you like to see featured on our Wednesdays with The Home Engineer?
