My sons are crazy about torches at the moment and love to hide in the pantry with the lights off scaring one another!! With this in mind I thought it would be a great idea to make them these little shadow makers for Halloween.
The best thing is that they are very easy to make – all you need is some black paper, a craft knife, sticky tape and some wooden sticks.
I have scanned in my shadow makers which you can use as a template. Click here to download (pdf). Simply print out the template and cut round the shapes. Alternately you can use the template to trace the ‘shadows’ onto a black piece of paper. I used some wooden coffee stirrers to stick the ‘shadows’ onto. They were the perfect size and free!
In the next 3/4 days I hope to write a tutorial about making a cereal box shadow theater so stay tuned!
I adore these! Can’t wait to make them for my son.
Would love a template for these – thank you!
They are wonderful! I’d love the template! Thank you!
I’m in! Template please.
Oh, yes please! Awesome!
I love these! Template please!
found your link on Craftzine … these shadow makers are AWESOME! thanks for sharing your templates. 🙂
Hello!
I recently opened an art blog because I’m doing a creativity Workshops in a primary school.
It’s proupouse is to show the projects made by the childrens who participate on it.
I really like your blog because you are always proposing new ideas and interesting things to do. I would like to share ideas with you, for that I will link your web site adding your site to my favourite web sites.
Thank you un planeta de manualitats!
Love these. Now on my list for homeschol crafts next week. Thanks.
So fun! Thank you!
Something else you can do to add to this is to put the sticks in a decorated can or a glass jar filled with candy corn or even beans and put a votive in it. Put the stick in front of the votive I think and fix things so there is a strong shadow cast and flickering on the wall:)
Great idea Trisha….I confess I had to look up ‘votive’ to see what it meant!! But yes….tealights are on my shopping list in the next few days.
Wow, great results! What fonts did you use on the pictures? It looks so pretty 🙂
These are so cool, I love making things! Please can i have a template? Thanx 🙂
Hi Mischa….there is a link to the template in the text above. Have fun!
