  • JEM - DD1 made a huge spiders web from string and wore that on top of black long sleeved top and tights. She made a couple of extra arms/legs from black plastic stuffed with newspaper and sewed them to the top, it was fun and didn't cost more than a few pence. Hope that helps Cheers Lyn.

    If you are into Halloween and have children/grandchildren Aldi's have lots of Halloween stuff including loads of cutters and items for making biscuits, cakes etc...

    Worth looking at the website and information on their latest specials...

    if you have long blonde hair - just don some jeans and a sexy T-shirt and go as 'Buffy - the Vampire Slayer!
    or.........Tatty long black dress - some white face make up, red/black lips, black liner and eyeshadow - Morticia Addams! or one of the MacBth witches or any other witch you care to call yourself!
    (hint, if going for the 'gruesome' look then Rice Krispies coloured dark brown and stuck on with eyelash glue look like warts).

    If you have some black shoes, then can you still get fishnet tights. These would look good.
