Glue two googly eyes on the front. Make several of these and use left over ribbon to make the hangers. make sure to spray the underside as well. Let the kids help and remember that Halloween decorations don’t have to look perfect – in fact imperfection actually look better in the end product.It just adds to the creepy feeling to your decorations. Great to let the kids decorate at a party – just spray paint everything before hand and let them use eyes and glitter and beads and other left overs in your craft closet. The would make great name place holders as well – after pulling the ribbon through make a bow. The ribbon can also hold a little bell to bring in the noise.

We thought this was a great idea! Arrange orange colored frosted cupcakes to make a shape of a pumpkin. Then carefully ice across the entire shape to make one cohesive pumpkin. Use cut up Oreos and candy corns to give your creation an awesome design. Don’t forget a couple of cupcakes going up to make the stem. Here they are in the same orange frosting but you could do this is in a green, black or yellow frosting as well.

Magical Getaway

This looks like a little home tucked away in a forest of a magical being. The fantasy comes from the rambling vines, stone exterior of the home siding, and some color or the yellow flowers in pots in the window. The hard lines of the home and rambling vines are relaxed with the very feminine drapes in the window. I wonder who lives here? I wonder what someone would be doing just on the inside of this perfect little getaway. Reading? Art studio? …. whatever hey do I am sure it mus be relaxing to be inside looking out.
