Halloween is getting closer and we’re prepping the house for some spooky scares! These green blobs in a bottle will fit right in, as we craft up some scary Halloween decorations this year.
I found this creepy craft in the Halloween craft book called, Make Yourself a Monster by Kathy Ross. There’s tons of fun monsterish ideas, perfect for Halloween.
Supplies for Green Blobs:
- corn syrup
- empty clear bottle/jar – with or without a lid
- green food coloring
- crafting googly eyes
1. Pour corn syrup into your jar and add 2-3 drops of food coloring. Stir.
2. Add your googley eyes. These will float, unless you glue on a weight to the back of the eyes, or something heavy.
Now your Blob is ready for display. Keep these ghoulish eyes on hand, you may have a monster visit with only one eye that might need a spare!
I loved your idea so much, I decided to make it edible and allergy-friendly! Check it out! http://www.myangelsallergies.com/2011/10/googley-eyed-jello-blobs.html
These are too cute. Kathy Ross is great. I’ve talked to her a few times over the years, she has some fabulous ideas for kids!
Thank you – a perfectly simple idea that I can actually do for the kids. It is perfect.
Lori – LOVE the idea of a blue Bob!! Thanks for sharing!
We just watched Monsters vs. Aliens and this is so perfect for making BOB. Just switch the green to blue! I love it!
Oh, my kids are going to go bananas for this!
Cute! We made these today and I snapped pics on my blog. Thank you for the idea!
