Mr. Mummy Dogs

October 25, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

With a few simple ingredients, you can have some mummy fun! Today we are continuing our Halloween recipe series making something very yummy - a yummy mummy to be exact! Making mummy dogs has been a recipe we make every year. This is a very fun and versatile recipe. Don't like hot dogs? You can substitute chicken sausages, or vegan hot dogs, whatever your family likes. You can get the whole family involved in making their own special mummy to enjoy. The ingredients you will need to make mummy dogs are a can of crescent roll dough (those pop open cans scare anyone else?), a package of your favorite hot dogs (or substitute), and thin slices of cheddar cheese (optional). We also used a ...

Concrete Pumpkin Planter

September 1, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Celebrate Fall With Your Own Concrete Pumpkin Planter! The days are starting to get a bit shorter, and you can tell that fall is officially just around the corner! Now is the time to create some great fall decor! With fall being my favorite season, I usually have a long list of projects to create. I love to make decor I can use year after year, and that is how I stumbled upon the concrete pumpkin planter idea. There are many different ways to create a concrete pumpkin planter, and everyone has their favorite method. The method I'm sharing I've tried more than a few times, and I just love the result. Every concrete pumpkin will be different and have its own character. You have a ...

Amazing Duck Gourd Feet!

October 19, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Display Your Gourds in a Fun and Unique Way! I'm sure by now everyone has seen the Pinterest pin of the gourds with wire feet made to look like ducks! It is such a fun photo, and I have to admit I tried the wire method, and sadly my gourd ducks kept falling over. I had put the idea of a duck gourd aside, as a "Pinterest fail" in my book. Recently a good friend suggested, why don't you design and 3D print your duck gourd feet. Hmm...I thought I have the tools to do it, why not give it a try! Challenge accepted! Not to mention we have an amazing Duckie for inspiration! I went to designing some duck gourd feet in Tinkercad, which if you are new to 3D printing, is a great place to ...

Creepy Cool Concrete Ghost

September 19, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Create a unique ghost for your Halloween decor! After creating our Concrete Pumpkin Planter, we had some extra concrete left over. The flower beds were looking a little empty and needed a spooky touch. I decided to try the technique of making a concrete ghost! Like the Concrete Pumpkins, everyone has their favorite method of making these. This process I'm sharing, I found to be the easiest way to make a fun concrete ghost! To get started you will need to gather some supplies. You will need a 1 - 10 lb bag of quick-dry concrete, a container to mix your concrete in, some thick rubber gloves, an old towel, and some pieces to build your ghost armature from. We used some PVC pipe, and a ...

Skeleton Pocket Pies

October 20, 2020 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Create some fun, and portable pocket pies! Continuing our Halloween recipe series, today we are sharing quick Skeleton Pocket Pies! I'm a huge fan of puff pastry. Puff pastry is probably one of my favorite things to bake with. Nothing compares to the fluffy texture, and it's so versatile. You can purchase puff pastry in your local grocer freezer section or you can get ambitious and make some of your own - which I highly recommend. To make Skeleton Pocket Pies you will need to gather a few ingredients and tools. To make the skeleton shape we used a larger shaped skeleton cookie cutter. If you don't have a skeleton cookie-cutter, feel free to try other shapes. You will also need a sheet ...

Dracula’s Drink

October 11, 2020 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Enjoy a drink inspired by Dracula himself! Halloween is going to be a little different this year. We thought it would be fun to share a few ideas to help you celebrate a great Halloween at home with your family, and also get a little creative. For the first part of the series I'm introducing - Dracula's Drink! I got the inspiration for Dracula's Drink from our family tradition of making "Shirley Temples" at Thanksgiving. This recipe is a fun, easy to make, non-alcoholic drink. Feel free though, if you would like to make a more "adult" version to experiment with. A traditional Shirley Temple is typically made with Ginger Ale and grenadine. Grenadine is a syrup made with pomegranate and ...
