Halloween Cupcakes

Spooky or what?  No, okay but super cute rite? 

For these I just sacked two cupcakes on top of each other (tops together).  Using the "hair" or "grass" tip pipe the hair all over and then pipe two eyes on top!


Same idea here, just add a tombstone.  I cut one out of cardboard and with icing write RIP.

Use your imagination and create some spooktacular cupcakes!

Very Easy Halloween Decorations That Anyone Can Make At Home!!


Materials
  1. Plain white paper
  2. Halloween shapes( i used cookie cutters)
  3. Scissors
  4. Markers
  5. Clear tape
  6. Fishing line(or string)


For my shapes i used three cookie cutters a ghost, bat, and cat.


First i traced them onto a plain white sheet of paper( you can also use color if you want)


Then you decorate each one anyway you like i chose something simple


I then cut them out and for the bat and ghost i poked small holes at the top and placed a piece of fishing line through each one(It's hard to see the string, that way it really looks like they are floating)
Then i hung them up all around the house!


For the cats i like to tape them all around the house such as on the cupboard, on the base of lamps, windows sills, ect.


Just have fun with it and be as creative as possible!!
Hope you enjoy!

Three quick easy Halloween ideas

These are all inexpensive ideas to brighten ( or should I say darken) your Halloween

 For these simple ghosts, just take paper towels and twist into ghost shapes and draw eyes and a mouth with black marker.  With a needle and thread string them threw the head!  I might try fishing line so it looks like there really floating!

These super cute witches broom gift bags are super cheap and easy!  However I can't take credit ( seen them in the Martha magazine)  You just need two lunch sacs, a stick and a piece of string.  Cut one lunch sac into strips , leaving the bottom intact.  Slip a whole bag inside, fill with treats and insert the stick.   Tie with a piece of twine!


This Applelantern is not only adorable it is delicious!  Core an apple and cut your face onto it ( just like a pumpkin)  put a little bit of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon inside.  Bake at 325 for 10 minutes.  MMMM!!!

Keebler fudge stick brownies!

Super cheap Halloween scars

If you have Elmers glue and toilet paper you can do this!  Rub about a dime sized amount of glue where you want the scar to be.  Take a piece of toilet paper and peel the layers apart (so basically you have one ply paper) and roll it up.  Apply to where the glue is.  With a paint brush paint more glue over it working out the edges.  Let dry and add make- up, blood, or whatever you want!

You can also just apply a  thin layer of glue over your face, let dry and peel up a little to make wrinkles, scabs.....the possibilities are endless! 


Aren't I scary??

10 Minute costume

80's Lady
This is such a classic and so cool! All you need is a T-shirt that is a little too big (check your hubbies closet) some blue eyeshadow and a side pony tail with a bow!  Cut the neck off the shirt and tie the side up. Wear a pair of leggings and big hoop earrings.  Add lots of hot pink lipstick!
