Mailing Envelope --> Jack-o-latern

Want a super easy Halloween craft using recycled paper? A kraft mailing envelope is the perfect color for a jack-o-lantern! The two here were made by my kids by just cutting open a USED mailing envelope, cutting it in half, and then cutting it into a pumpkin shape and gluing on eyes, nose & a mouth! Pretty cute, eh?


Also - you can make some spooky spiders from a paper egg carton. Just cut apart the carton, flip the sections over, and paint them black. Once dry, use chenille stems as legs. (Just remember to pull off the legs before you toss them with your organics recycling!)



Happy Halloween!
