Bought these for $1.19 at Michael's and used the Cameo to make the labels.
I know this one is a little over the top, but everyone thought it was pretty cool. I used a doll from a thrift store and just took off the plastic parts and made sure I washed them VERY well. I apologize if I offend anybody. I just had a vision and wanted to go with it.
It's not a Holiday if you don't have the PEEPS!
My table.
Used Nutter Butters dipped in white chocolate, Wiltons finger mold, skeleton veggie tray and Beendoozled Jelly Belly's game. This game was a hit! I apologize for the skeleton link. My sister just sent me a picture and I do not know who to give credit to.
The puking pumpkin I got the idea from here. The monster claws from here. I made a pumpkin cupcake that I found on allrecipes.com. I used a cream cheese frosting and used a marshmallow fondant for the frosting. We painted the claws black after we molded the fondant. The witch hats and brooms I found here. Gosh, I love Pinterest!!
Eye deviled eggs, idea from here. I must say we made them the night before and the red bled a little. I would recommend make them as close to possible of when you are going to put them out for the party.
I got the bloody hand towel from here
A healthy treat brought by my mother in law.
One of our 5 pizzas! Idea can be found here.
For this I made the web out of sour cream, minced black olives to make the spider and cut black beans in half to make the legs.
I found this for $1.50 at the thrift store. It was gold and did not work. Spray painted it silver, oiled it with black , added Spanish moss and bones.
And my fireplace! I redid the cauldron with a solution of sand, Elmer's glue, water, and oatmeal from a site I found. I would not recommend the oatmeal. It was falling off and not working. I rubbed off the oatmeal because it was falling off every time I touched it. After I did that I primed it with flat black spray paint. After it dried I used browns and greys to make it look aged. The problem was I did not know what to do with it afterwards so I just put it on the fireplace. I have to find something clever to do with it next year.
So there it is. Can't wait until next year. I must say I could not have done this without the help of my husband and kids. My oldest helped me decide what we would execute and what could be put off for another year. My sister is doing Christmas this year and after she saw everything she said she has to out do me. She started "pinning" and surfing AT the party on my ipad. I guess we have a battle now! :)
Happy Halloween and keep junkin!
