Halloween Idea #71
A tasty treat
can be made using simple marshmallows, melted white chocolate and sucker
sticks. They're called Ghosts on a Stick but if you drizzle the
chocolate round and round them, you can make Mummies on a stick. Use
green chocolate and you've got Monsters on a Stick. They are easy to
make and you can adapt them any way you want.
Check this
article
out for the rest of the recipe and check out the site for lots of
Halloween tasty treats! Traditional treats really bring back seasonal
holiday memories and Halloween treats seem to start off the year with
caramel corn, candies apples, caramel apples, pop corn balls and so much
more. |

Halloween Idea #72
Wonder what to
do with all those Halloween pictures, old and new? Scan them and make a scrap book or
photo display. Scrap booking is a great way to preserve memories in a
non-photo book way. They add more character to photos by making special
little books full of memories.
If you are
not familiar with scrap booking,
go
here for more info!
Once you get started, you'll want to make up special books for all
occasions! We know some people that have actually turned it into a
business, trying photos from people, making copies of course, and making
a beautiful scrap book of a special time in their lives. It's a fun way
to keep your photo memories intact in a book form and looks so much
better than a plain photo album. |

Halloween Idea #73
Looking for
ideas on how to make your Halloween haunt the absolute best? There are
quite a few books out there, some great, some not so great. Check
websites like Amazon.com for how-to books. Before you buy make sure and
read the reviews on each book. They are a good indicator as to how good
a book is or isn't.
You might
also try your local book store and see if they carry any kind of books
on setting up a haunted house. Some book stores have whole Halloween
related sections now. You'll find books on arts and crafts for
Halloween, home and professional haunting, costumes how-to's and many
more. There are so many little Halloween recipe books you see at grocery
store check outs, be careful! Most of them have the same things in them
year after year with a new cover. ALways leaf through before you buy! |

Halloween Idea #74
Sitting around
with nothing to do, wanting to surf personal Halloween sites but tired
of looking at the thousands of search links? Try a web site specific
site that has only Halloween links,
like this one! Over the years, it seems like even though Halloween
is getting more popular, there are less personal sites to see.
People
need to jump back on the personal website wagon and start showing what
they do for Halloween! In a world of Facebook, MySpace, Pintrest and all
the other social sites out there, people are getting away from making
their own sites and relying on these sites to talk about them selves,
show off their pictures and such. Give me a good old personal website
any day! |

Halloween Idea #75
Add some color
to your jack-o-lantern display by using some of the many varieties of
pumpkins that are out there. Try out the Cinderella, Snowball, or
Atlantic Giant. Some grocery stores and other stores that sell pumpkins
are getting some of these varieties in stock but a pumpkin farm is your
best bet. If there aren't any in your area, look for a pumpkin lot to
set up. They sometimes carry other varieties of pumpkins like the ones
above.
In case you
didn't know about these other types of pumpkins you can get more info if
you check here! You'll find a listing of just about every
pumpkin variety there is along with all kinds of pumpkin information on
growing your own. |

Halloween Idea #76
Add some
skulls and bones to your grave yard haunt or to any Halloween display.
Place random piles of bones and the occasional skull around and it can
really set off your graveyard or walk way. There are so many things that
you can do with random bones and skulls to dress up not only your haunt
but your home Halloween decor.
If you
have a fireplace, add a pile on either side. You can tie leg bones
together and make long strings of them to hang up in a door way as a
curtain.

Halloween Idea #78
You can buy large
rope spider webs and giant spiders at most Halloween stores, like the
one at right. It's black but we sprayed it with glow-in-the-dark hair
spray and put a black light over it to make it glow. you can attach
spiders all over it and spray them if you like, our buy plastic spiders
and some day glow paint to paint them. That shows up very well under a
black light.
Click here and
check out the Creepy Cobweb section to see some great things to do with
large spider webs and even the pull apart web that comes in bags. People
just don't like spiders and adding something like this to your
decorations will really put a scare into them! |

Halloween Idea #79
Sending
Halloween cards and post cards has been a long tradition that is
dying out. Even though the stores are full of Halloween cards they
aren't being sent out like they used to be and we need to do something
about that!
There are a
multitude of Halloween cards to be found at this time of year, make sure
you send cards to friends and family! You can buy them or make them
yourself with your computer and a card making program or if you don't send snail mail
cards, send e-cards instead! Here's a good
place to start! It lets people that may be far away from you know
that you are thinking about them during the Halloween season. |

Halloween Idea #80
Add artificial
ravens and crows to the tops of tombstones, in the trees, anywhere they
can sit and stare at your visitors. You can find them at most arts and
crafts stores, department type stores, just about everywhere! You'll
also find owls and other birds like vultures that you can add for more
ambiance.
You can
find some that come with eyes that light up red by using a small battery
pack inside. They make a creepy looking addition to your yard haunt or
just to the decorations on your porch. If you have a Halloween tree, you
can add them to that as well.
You'll
also find rats, cats and other Halloween related creatures that are
life-like and go great in scenes. |
