This post contains advertising for Brother Halloween is just around the corner and you still have a few toilet paper rolls at home that you would like to make into crafts? Then today I’ll show you how you can make DIY ghosts and bats out of them.
Are you already in the middle of preparing for Halloween? At this time you can also get creative with children and, for example, make a Halloween decoration out of toilet paper rolls. This decoration is quick and easy to implement and your children will definitely love the idea too!
And to give the creepy fellows a personal touch, I have this for my DIY P-touch CUBE Plus from Brother* used and present my idea to you today as part of the #DIYYearChallenge.
Craft ideas for Halloween
Lisa from meinfeenstaub.com and I each came up with a craft idea for the month of October on the theme of “Hocus Pocus” and used the P-touch CUBE Plus labeling machine from Brother. For anyone who still has a few question marks and is thinking “What kind of challenge?” – no problem. I have summarized the most important points of the challenge for you here.
#DIYYearChallenge 2023
Lisa and I are taking on a creative challenge once a month for a year – the #DIYYEARChallenge. We independently implement a DIY based on a given topic and with the support of a sponsor. We get creative with the sponsor’s materials and publish our results on our blogs and social media channels. Our followers can win great prizes from the sponsor by voting for their favorite under the Instagram post.
Monthly theme for October: Hocus Pocus
We are very pleased that we were able to get our partner Brother excited about our challenge again, because with the many different options that the P-Touch CUBE Plus offers, it fits perfectly with the challenge and our monthly theme. For the Hocus Pocus theme, I made bats and ghosts out of empty toilet paper rolls and some paint, which are great for a scary party and are also perfect as a souvenir – or as gift tags with personalized name tags, for example. I used the labeling device P-Touch CUBE Plus to label the labels for the bats and the ribbons for the ghosts and you can do this with the printer individually and according to your taste. Be sure to check out how Lisa interpreted the topic.
Before you find out more about the P-touch CUBE Plus labeling machine from Brother, I’ll show you the simple instructions that you can make with your children for Halloween! Let’s go:
Instructions
Color the empty toilet paper rolls completely with the white (for the ghosts) or black (for the bats) marker.
To make the bats, fold the ends of the black painted toilet paper rolls inwards so that two points are created on the left and right.
Then draw a bat face using narrow-tipped markers.
Cut out bat wings from black construction paper and attach them to the back of the bat using the glue gun.
Flatten the white toilet paper roll, cut it round at the top and cut into prongs at the bottom.
Now draw a ghost face using narrow-tipped markers.
In the next step, insert a tape cassette (for the bats) or the textile tape cassette (for the ghosts) into the P-touch CUBE Plus labeling device.
Download the “Design&Print 2” app onto your smartphone. Then click on “Create your own label”, then select the tape color, font, lettering and symbols of your choice.
If you are happy with the result, you can click Print. The P-touch CUBE Plus now prints the tape.
Stick the labels on the wings and the bow on the ghosts.
Whether it’s a table decoration, a gift tag or a garland. The ghosts and bats made from toilet paper rolls can be used in many different ways!
Get creative with Brother
The P-touch CUBE Plus is perfect for implementing creative DIY ideas because it is a small, flexible compact device in a modern style. The labeling machine is energy-saving and can be easily connected to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. I find it very practical that you can choose from a wide range of colors for ribbons and fonts and that there are many different bandwidths available to you.
So you can choose loving or funny, romantic and cheeky texts for many different occasions and print them for many different occasions and you can use them to create many DIYs. It is very practical that the P-touch CUBE Plus is even suitable for labels – so you can finally create order in the home office, in the kitchen and basement or in the children’s room. And what’s also brilliant is that you have many design options using the app or software. You can even upload your own images or use ready-made templates that are available in the app. You see, the P-touch CUBE Plus is not only perfect for Halloween DIYs, but for many other occasions.
