Ben & Jerry's Halloween
 


Make your own Halloween decorations. Print out these craft pages, color them, cut them out and fasten them together to make your own Ben & Jerry's Halloween decorations. Stick them in your office, your classroom, your car, put them everywhere. Stuff you'll need:

  • Computer and printer - that sort of goes without saying
  • Scissors
  • Paper fasteners - available at office supply shops or department stores
  • Hole punch
  • Crayons, colored pencils or markers
  • Optional - glue stick or white glue or paste, light cardboard
Directions
Print the image. Color your decoration; it's easier to color before you cut it out. It's a good idea to glue several sheets of paper together or glue the print out to a piece of cardboard to make it stronger. Carefully cut all along the heavy outline of the images. There are extra arms and feet so you can put your Halloween figure into different positions. If you want your decoration to be poseable, use a hole punch to punch holes into the white circles at the joints. Line up the holes and push a paper fastener through. Bend the back clips of the fastener to secure it. If you don't want your decorations to be poseable or if you don't have any paper fasteners) glue the arms and legs into the desired position.

Be creative, be original. Make some other accessories. That skeleton would be stylin' with a top hat and the outfit Glynda is wearing is just crying out for a cape.
