Halloween: Spooky "Laboratory" Display
Painted and decorated jars create a cute Halloween display. To create the dripping black look, spray heavily and allow to run down the sides of the jar. Spray orange, white, and gold for a candy corn look. Have fun, you can't "mess" these up.
This is a guide about making a Halloween wreath. Fall is time for wreaths of all sorts. Halloween wreaths make a great decoration to put up when getting ready for trick-or-treaters.
Craft Project: Witch Boot Centerpiece
I wanted to make a new centerpiece for Halloween this year, but I didn't want an ordinary container. I have used pumpkins and plastic cauldrons in the past, but I wanted something thriftier and unusual.
Craft Project: Pumpkin Garland
Orange cardstock, black ribbon, and black marker are used to create this quick pumpkin garland. Make a pumpkin template on white card.
Using the template, draw around it on to the orange cardstock. Cut the shape using scissors.
Save the bright orange liquid detergent bottles during the year. Remove the label by soaking in hot water. Decorate the front of the bottle with either black felt, or black fun foam cut into triangle eyes, and nose, and zigzag mouth.
These Pumpkin bowls make beautiful serving dishes for any Autumn event. Look for a picture of a pumpkin leaf and use that for inspiration for the leaf you will cut out of your pumpkin.
Craft Project: Faux Caramel Apple
This realistic looking caramel apple is beautiful on display. You will have everyone thinking it's the real thing.
Cut a branch. Spray paint both an old bleach bottle and the branch with fast drying black spray paint. Place one small set of white Christmas lights on the branches and hang hollow plastic pumpkins found in the dollar store.
Make a Hand With Plaster of Paris
A great tip for one rubber glove was done in the sixties. We fill it with plaster of Paris and produced a slick hand, that was used for jewelry display or for Halloween fun.
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.
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".
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.
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: 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.
