Thread: Wealth of Halloween Ideas / Sticky Eyeball Pens

Tweet

So, via a web comic I read (Two Lumps) I ran across an awesome little online place called Etsy :: Your place to buy and sell all things handmade. Apparently people make stuff and resell it. Kinda like cafe press, only more then cookie cutter t-shirts and such.

... But from flipping through some of the Halloween items that were on sale I got some great ideas for little projects. For example I found this:

Sticky Eyeball Pens

.

Very cool little site, simply had to share.

Oh, those look kewl! Make sure to take pics and show us!

I noticed Voodoo Willy has an Etsy space too. That is a cool place to make a little extra dough making the props that we love.

Anybody else have an Etsy store?

Hi MsMeeple,

If you read the sellers description, it sounds very similar to how some people around here are making their candles, aka lots of hot glue. So the plan is to find a pen I like, plop a gooey eyeball on the end, and then using some hot glue drip it down the length of the pen to make that smear effect. A little paint and wa-la!

I do not have an etsy store yet but I know of the sight and was planning to sell some greeting cards (including my Halloween ones) there soon.
