| Garden: Pumpkin Planter
|
|
Last fall I took a large pumpkin and cleaned it out, filled it with potting soil and put a Mum plant in it. I used it as a decoration on my front porch. At the end of the season, I took the Mum/pumpkin and planted it in the ground.

| Craft: Halloween Mailbox Decoration
|
 With a mailbox planter for a container to be seen by all who pass by or enter our home, I created this fun Halloween display. I used an artificial spider plant and painted it black, adding last year's harvest gourds and mini-pumpkins.

| Craft: Little Spooks
|
 Easy to make. Pound 2 sticks down through the blue jeans. Stuff jeans with newspapers. Attach a styrofoam ball to the top of the 2 sticks. (I stuffed 2 knitted beanie hats, much cheaper). Cover with a sheet and pin on the felt eyes. I have had so many comments about "my spooks".

| Make Halloween Pumpkins Into Thanksgiving Turkeys
|
|
Re-use your Halloween pumpkins for Thanksgiving by turning them into turkeys for just a few dollars. You'll need dowel rods, glue and felt. Cut felt into feather shapes, two for each dowel. Glue like a sandwich, with the felt as the bread and the end of the dowel as the filling. Do as many feathers as you want, but five or six is sufficient.

| Craft: Non Carved Jack-O-Lantern
|
 Decorate a pumpkin with construction paper. It's safer then a knife carving pumpkin. Then attach beads, etc., whatever you have, even yarn for the hair

| Craft: Batty About Books!
|
 We made a clothespin into a magnet with some paper shapes. This can also be used as a bookmark without the magnet or a clip for chips or papers, etc.

| Keeping Animals from Eating Pumpkin Decorations
|
|
I have this problem every year and wondered if anyone else did too. I love to put 1 or 2 pumpkins on my front step for decorating at Fall season, but within days, the squirrels have chewed large holes in them and seeds are everywhere.

| Craft: Cheesecloth Ghosts In My House!

 Simple and easy and CHEAP! Blow up a balloon and dip a square of cheesecloth into fabric stiffener. Drape over balloon. Let dry and then pop the balloon. Add felt eyes or use a dark marker.

| Craft Project: Halloween Skeleton Decoration
|
|
By Harlean Greathouse
|
 These skeletons are great fun to make and hang around for Halloween. They can be made of wood 1/4 inch plywood. Easy to make from scraps. Or if you don't have the tools to do wood, you could make them with a sheet of art foam. I made mine about 17 inches tall, but you can reduce or increase the size to suit your wishes. My picture is of a wooden one.
