Halloween Ideas

Booo!! Here we have gathered a great selection of Halloween ideas to make your party a spooktacular fun. Make these crafts to add to your Halloween decoration. They will help you create a scary haunted mansion.

Witch Doll
This is a cute Halloween craft to place over the table or hang around the house. You can also plan this craft activity to amuse kids at your party.

You will need:
Old nylon stocking
Batting
Embroidery thread
Black bristle board (Posterboard)
Construction paper
Black wool (or yarn)
Star stickers (optional)
Twigs
Twine
Glue

Stuff a piece of nylon with batting and gather it around the base to make the witch's head. To make the face, use black embroidery thread to sew the eyes, nose and mouth.
Make a cone from black bristle board and pull the extra nylon down into the hole of the cone. Glue the head onto the cone shape. Add a black construction paper cape to the cone. Glue a bunch of black wool to the top of the head and then add a construction paper hat made into a cone shape and decorated with sticker stars.

Make the broom out of a large twig with smaller twigs tied at the bottom and glue some twine at the end.


Hanging Victim

You will need:
Two sticks (at least 2' long)
String
Old shirt and jeans
Work gloves/Surgical gloves
Newspaper
Black garbage bag

Tie the two sticks together to form a cross. This will be the neck and shoulders of the dummy. Then, put the shirt onto the shoulders, and fill it with newspaper.

Attach the pants to the dummy by putting string through the belt loops, and over the 'shoulders,' and fill pants with newspaper. Blow up or otherwise inflate gloves (stuff with newspaper), and tie to end of sleeves of the shirt. Then, fill the garbage bag, the hood, with newspaper, and tie onto the dummy's neck

Cardboard Tombstones
Make tombstones out of cardboard. Here are some ideas of fun epitaphs to write on them:

Dare to Disturb
Yul B. Next
I'll Be Back
Rest in Pieces (body parts scattered around)
Do Not Open Until October 31st (put a shovel next to it)
