If you are a procrastinator like me (Jill), then you have been thinking about Halloween for some time, but are only just getting ready now...or you have plans to do so tomorrow (which is Halloween, I should mention). It's time to pull out your October Afternoon Witch Hazel and get crafty, even if only to put together some fun little tags to add to treat bags or to string together as a garland.
Begin by gathering your supplies, to include Witch Hazel stamps, Little Flyers, basic office tags as well as tags cut from patterned paper, Sprinklers, Miscellany die-cuts, chipboard shapes, modeling paste, and a palette knife.
Now get to work altering those tags. Here is how I prepped the foundations of the tags you see above.
Tag #1: Bat Tag
Tag #2: Black Crackle Tag
Tag #3: "Boo!" Tag
Tag #4: Green "Ooze"/Jack-o'-Lantern Tag
Tag #5: Combination/Die-Cut Tag
Once the base of each tag dried, I added accents, to include glittered chipboard pieces. They're easy to create!
So there you have it -- a project that even a procrastinator can get around to trying this Halloween. If you're a die-hard procrastinator, however, you can always switch out Witch Hazel for Make It Merry. :)
I'd love to see any and all of your Halloween creations made with Witch Hazel, so be sure to share them in the October Afternoon Flickr gallery! Happy Halloween!
Fabulous tutorial! Thankyou so much for sharing! Love the range and intensity of the colours regarding the sprays.

These tags are wonderful!!!! I love them! Thanks so much for the tutorial too - I am going to have to try the modeling paste now! And, I know what you mean about procastinating! I haven't used my Witch Hazel goodies yet, hoping to make something tomorrow!
