halloween party

If you want to try your hand at making some halloween props, then visit http://www.madhauscreative.com/Halloween%20projects.html
I've made a few items from there.

Also for something a bit more tricky and different you could try to make some thing from here : http://ravensblight.com/papertoys.html

I've made cheap cushion covers from old sheeting and appliqued witch, bat and ghost shapes on them, I've made over the door hangings in a similar way but finished with a zig zag edge, also done a trick or treat bucket using a smallish orange beach bucket, then stuck on halloween shapes to make a pumkin face, we've been keeping old cereal boxes to make some grave stones, cut our ghost, bat pumkin shapes from the cardboard, painted them, black, white or orange for shapes to stick on the windows, also to make mobiles and strings of hanging decs, used a couple of cheap dolls to make a wizard and witch, Just sorting out our costumes now, OH will be Dracula and I'll be a witch.......
I've been looking on ebay at the decs there and there are ways you can adapt their ideas. I'm contemplating doing jars of yeuky things as decorations as well as 'horrible' food eg blackcurrant (blood) jelly with worms(jelly sweets) or frogs, small pizzas as witches faces, horrible hooch etc
