			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Papel picado ("perforated paper") is the beautiful Mexican art of cutting paper into elaborate designs. One of the best sites on the web, <strong><a href="http://www.thetoymaker.com/">The Toymaker</a></strong>, has some <a href="http://www.thetoymaker.com/Holidays/Halloween/1HALLOWEEN.html"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">simple templates</span></strong></a> to make your own papel picado Halloween banner.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9383" title="HalloweenBanner" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HalloweenBanner.jpg" alt="HalloweenBanner" width="400" height="187" /></p>
<p>Traditionally tissue paper is used to make these banners. We had good luck using crepe paper. I printed out the designs, foldel the template in half along with a piece of crepe paper inside and fastened with paper clips. My daughter then was able to cut around the outside edges eaisly. I helped with the inside bits.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9384" title="HalloweenBanner1" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HalloweenBanner1.jpg" alt="HalloweenBanner1" width="400" height="487" /></p>
<p>Cut out as many as you like.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9385" title="HalloweenBanner2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HalloweenBanner2.jpg" alt="HalloweenBanner2" width="400" height="306" /></p>
<p>To make ready for hanging we folded the top edge over a piece of string and glued, being careful not to stretch the crepe paper.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9386" title="HalloweenBanner3" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HalloweenBanner3.jpg" alt="HalloweenBanner3" width="400" height="521" /></p>
<p>What a simple way to make your home festive!</p>
<p>Be sure to visit the Toymaker for all her lovely paper toys. I love her darling <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.thetoymaker.com/Holidays/Halloween/1HALLOWEEN.html">cat favor boxes</a></strong></span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>.....still thinking about <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/10/26/yummy-candy-corn-themed-ideas/">candy corn</a>.  These candy corn cones would make a festive favor --- especially cute sitting in the center of a dinner plate.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9318" title="CandyCornConeFavor3" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor3.jpg" alt="CandyCornConeFavor3" width="350" height="251" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornFavorCones.pdf">Candy Corn Favor Cones Download</a></strong></span></p>
<p>Download and print on white card stock. Cut out and place double stick tape on the front side edge. Notice that tape starts all the way on the yellow part and tapers off the paper at the white tip.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9315" title="CandyCornConeFavor1" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor1.jpg" alt="CandyCornConeFavor1" width="350" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>Roll up into a cone. Okay, it takes a minute to get the hang of it and you have to be forceful to get it to come together.  You will need to trim the tape off at the point. Once you have it rolled into a cone and secured, place tape along the inside edge. Glue could be used or hot glue  if you work quickly</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9316" title="CandyCornConeFavor2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor2.jpg" alt="CandyCornConeFavor2" width="350" height="391" /></a></p>
<p>Take a strip of tissue paper  about 7" wide and 20" long and attach it to the tape. "Ruffle" tissue paper as you attach it to the tape.  Overlap ends and secure with just a bit more tape.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9317" title="CandyCornConeFavor" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CandyCornConeFavor.jpg" alt="CandyCornConeFavor" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>Fill with treats and tie off with a bow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is so easy to do, but  if you don't want to spend the time making a template I have one for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CupcakeWrapper.pdf"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cupcake Wrapper Template Download</strong></span><br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Cupcakewrapper1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9213" title="Cupcakewrapper1" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Cupcakewrapper1.jpg" alt="Cupcakewrapper1" width="350" height="287" /></a></p>
<p>All you need is some scrapbooking paper! I did use scalloped scissors to cut across the top to give them a fancy edge. You might need to make slight adjustments for height and length depending on the size of your cupcakes. Fasten the wrappers together with glue stick or hot glue.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cupcakewrapper2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9214" title="cupcakewrapper2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cupcakewrapper2.jpg" alt="cupcakewrapper2" width="350" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>Come back tomorrow to for a free digital cupcake wrapper template with some different paper options to drop into the template and print! There will also be a tutorial on how to use the digital template.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is that time of year to let the BOOing begin! Here is a simple way to BOO your friends and neighbors.</p>
<p>Download and print the Ghost Door Hanger on white card stock. (If your print cartridge is fairly new it works to print on draft setting if you are concerned about ink usage.)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingGhostDoorHanger1.pdf"></a><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingGhostDoorHanger1.pdf"></a><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingGhostDoorHanger11.pdf">Printable BOOing Ghost Door Hanger Download</a></strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger1psd.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9185" title="BooingDoorHanger1psd" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger1psd.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger1psd" width="300" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>Cut off white edges and then fold in half.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9186" title="BooingDoorHanger2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger2.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger2" width="300" height="494" /></a></p>
<p>Place some glue stick on the inside edges to hold the door hanger together. With a hole punch (or scissors) cut out the hole. I used a 1 1/4" circle hole punch (You could probably use 1 1/2" circle punch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9187" title="BooingDoorHanger3" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger3.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger3" width="300" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Cut on dotted line.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9188" title="BooingDoorHanger4" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger4.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger4" width="300" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>Hang the hanger on your friends door.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9189" title="BooingDoorHanger5" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger5.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger5" width="300" height="607" /></a></p>
<p>Leave some treats below!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9190" title="BooingDoorHanger6" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger6.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger6" width="300" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Once you  have been BOO'ed turn your door hanger around.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9191" title="BooingDoorHanger7" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BooingDoorHanger7.jpg" alt="BooingDoorHanger7" width="300" height="631" /></a></p>
<p>Let the BOOing begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a bit too early to carve our pumpkins so we made them masks.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9066" title="Mask9" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask9.jpg" alt="Mask9" width="300" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>These masks are simple to make from recycled cereal boxes and a bit of paint.</p>
<p>First, download the template. This post is not meant to be questionable.  I have received so much grief from my family about the template (got to love teen boys) that I only gave you half a template. It doesn't help. It still looks like a ....</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask.pdf">Mask Template Download</a></strong></span></p>
<p>Make your template and cut out your mask from a cereal box. To make the witch we cut off the ears.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9067" title="Mask1" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask1.jpg" alt="Mask1" width="300" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Lightly score the nose.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9068" title="Mask2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask2.jpg" alt="Mask2" width="300" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Fold the nose under and hook into bottom of mask.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9069" title="Mask3" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask3.jpg" alt="Mask3" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>For the witch we added a hat by cutting a large triangle shape with long rectangle shape at bottom. Lightly score the rectangle so it will fold.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9070" title="Mask4" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask4.jpg" alt="Mask4" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Fold rectangle together and staple to make brim.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9071" title="Mask5" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask5.jpg" alt="Mask5" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Staple hat to top of mask.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9072" title="Mask6" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask6.jpg" alt="Mask6" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Paint.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9073" title="Mask7" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask7.jpg" alt="Mask7" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>And paint.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9074" title="Mask8" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask8.jpg" alt="Mask8" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Staple a piece of elastic to each side of the mask. Make sure it fits snugly around the pumpkin.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9075" title="Mask11" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask11.jpg" alt="Mask11" width="250" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>We finished and then someone wanted to be a witch. So I cut out the eyes and now I have a witch! Check out those eyelashes!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9076" title="Mask10" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mask10.jpg" alt="Mask10" width="300" height="518" /></a></p>
