I love figures on spools. When I saw these cute Halloween spools on Pinterest, I thought, "Why have I never done trick or treaters?", and set out to make my own version.  I took figures from various Alpha Stamps collage sheets and dressed them up, adding hats, masks, rhinestones, and glitter, and then gave them all tiny pumpkins and a "trick or treat" flag. Here's the whole gang together:


Here's the first one I made. Let's call her "Patsy".


I found that pencils fit in the spool holes perfectly, so that is what supports each figure. The flagpole is made from a bamboo skewer, and glued in place with E6000 glue. The wings are actually bat cutouts, also from Alpha Stamps.


I loved making that first little trick or treater so much that I had to make a few more. Here's Benjamin. He went to live with a swap partner.  Smiley


I made several more, but the photos are so large. Here are some thumbnails of them. I also have them posted on my blog, if you want a better view.

Thanks! They were so fun to make. I'm planning now on making some little Christmas elves, once I'm done with all the Halloween crafting.  Grin
