Welcome to "El Cucuy Blog Hop!"
Happy Saturday everyone! Welcome to my blog and to the
El Cucuy Blog Hop. If you have come by my good friend
Norma, then you are in the right place. If you happen to just stop by, I would love for you to start at the beginning with
Celeste.
Do you remember when you were little and you were scared of the Boogie Man or thinking there might be a monster inside your closet at night. How about El Cucuy which means Boogie Man. This hop will provide you some spooktacular Projects that have probably scared us or continue to scare us. This hop is hosted by a great blogger friend of mine named Yolie from
Just Yolie.
Therefore, I would like to begin to thank Yolie for having me be part of this amazing hop and get the chance to be with some very talented ladies. Now be prepared to be spooked or not. When I started to think about what to scary monster I wanted to create for this hop, I decided to go with one of the scary monsters from Disney which is Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas. I really enjoyed creating this project since it was a great addition to decorating the mantle of my chimney. I followed the directions on an article I found on Family.Com to create the Oogie Boogie Monster.
Oogie Boogie Monster
Materials:
Felt: Green (2), Black (1)
Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
Oogie Boogie Template
Black Thread & Needle
Black or Green Pipe Cleaners
Plastic Bugs
Oogie Boogie Template
First: Trace and cut the Template pieces to the color felt.
Second: Snip eyeholes, mouth, and a 3 inch or smaller slit for
the stomach on one of the pieces of large green felt.Then
take your needle and sew a few stiches above and
below the stomach and also the top of the head.
Third: Flip the stitched body piece over and glue the black
felt patches over the openings in the head and stomach.
Once you flip it over, cut a small slit of the
mouth and stomach to add bugs.
Fourth: Now make the monster's feet. For each foot, glue together
a pair of felt cutouts, sandwiching a pipe cleaner between them, as shown.
Fifth: Glue the feet pieces atop the unstitched monster body, bending
the pipe cleaner tops to extend the length of the arms, as shown.
Last: Apply a line of glue along the entire perimeter of the body piece,
going right over the ankles. Then set the stitched body piece
on top of it and press down on the edges to stick them together.
Now, you can add any bugs of your choosing inside it's mouth and stomach for fun.
I hope I didn't scare you to much. But, this was definitely a fun project I loved creating.
