Homemade Lego Halloween

Halloween costumes are so much more fun when you make them yourself…especially when you get to reuse items found around the house to make it. We made this Lego costume for our son (with his help too) using cardboard (we love cardboard!), Chinese food takeout containers, and spray paint. A simple but fun and memorable costume for the Lego fan in your life. Happy Halloween from your friends at White Elephant Creations.

Scrabble Board Wall Art

Using a Scrabble board and tiles, we made wall art as a gift for our brother and sister-in-law to display in our newborn nephew’s room. We decided to only use the tiles from a single set which limited our options for words, but it was a fun challenge. The board is sturdy enough to stand alone, but my dad custom made a frame to hold it since the board is basically a square and not standard frame size.

Scrabble is a fun game to play, and the tiles make great crafts as well.  You can typically find an older version relatively cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. We have made many crafts over the years using Scrabble tiles. We even have a refrigerator magnet set for sale at our online store if interested. http://www.whiteelephantcreations.com/scrabble-magnets/
