The "Oldies" from this forum may recognize some of this stuff. I didn't have a camera back when I made these ('01) but I talked about them and some of the crafts were popular around here back then :)

Can you tell I was into recycling stuff into crafts? I did that ALL of the time back then. DH would get so angry because I had a huge stash of tin cans and jars all of the time under the sink! LOL But, hey, they were free and it kept me out of trouble!

Pumpkin made from a jar lid. I have a girl and boy scarecrow, too but they are the same as the CD scarecrows so I didn't take another photo...

Witch. She's made from an old glass candle holder. Her hat is made from old scrap jeans that I painted and hot glued together.

Scarecrow. Just like the witch...

Can pumpkin.

Ghost. The head is a tuna can, the pieces hanging down are pieces from an old Wal-Mart bag, spray painted with some white paint.

CD scarecrows. They look a little jumbled from being in the box. I had pumpkins, too but they are all missing their noses and my glue gun died...so they're still packed away.

Another scarecrow, made entirely from painted denim pieces from more old jeans.

Sign, made from top from ice cream container!

Pudding cup pumpkins...there are more throughout the house...

Pumpkin made from porch railing spindle. My father gave me a whole bucket of these once, left over from cutting some down to fit on the railing of a house he was working on...
