Inspired by Kate's shadow puppet tutorial over at Minieco, I designed a dozen shadow puppets of my own to give to the kiddies along with some mini flashlights at our upcoming Halloween party. I essentially used Kate's tutorial to make these, except I painted my wooden dowels up in black stripes (using the same method I used to make my stripey pick-up sticks) because I love all things stripey, and made my shadow puppet designs just a little bigger with a few different designs. You can download my shadow puppet templates here, if you care to make some for yourself:
You can also find Kate's tutorial with her own downloadable templates here.
So cool, you are clearly going to have the coolest Halloween shindig ever. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness.

That monster is one of my favorites. we actually got a chance to try them out over the weekend at our Halloween party and they all created fantastic shadows--but I did especially like the monster (and the devil...).
ReplyDeleteThe cut outs are so intricate and unique! Will you use them to decorate your house as well?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea!My kids are getting bigger and my 12 yr. old does NOT trick or treat anymore. (she would rather steal her sisters candy) This would be perfect for a fun, halloween party for her and her friends. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!f
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week!
