HALLOWEEN CRAFTS

Easy Halloween Sewing Ideas

It??™s that most wonderful time of the year. Doorways are decked out with banners and bows, twinkling lights edge the rooftops and all through the house everything from baby bibs and bath towels to tablecloths and throw pillows sports a holiday motif.

So this Halloween, why not dabble in the creative arts? Take a look at these suggestions for Halloween decorating -- all requiring only a minimum of stitch witchery. But beware, once you fall under the spell of sewing you may find yourself cooking up a bewitching spell to get one of today??™s easy-to-use sewing machines.

 1. Fun fabric bags are fast replacing plastic pumpkins and pillowcases as the receptacle of choice for toting home lots of candy. Making your own is incredibly easy.

2. Bring the creatures of the night into your house by suspending soft sculpture bats from fishing line.

3. Use glow-in-the dark threads to embroider creepy spider webs on a black fabric cut to fit your table. Or, sew a covering from glow-in-the-dark fabric for a trick tablecloth.

4. Decorate the doorstep with an easy-to-make patchwork pumpkin.

Armed with your bag of sewing tricks, you can create great decorative Halloween items for your home in little to no time and without spending a ghoulish amount of money.

HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEAS

Halloween Masquerade Party Theme

Invitation Idea:

Make the front of the invitation look like a simple mask using construction paper, markers and glitter. On the back give information about the party. This is a colonial period masquerade so invite people to come dressed in that time period. You can even suggest that some come as famous dead people from the era.

Decoration Ideas:

Decorate the party area like an old haunted mansion. Cover the furniture with white sheets. Put up fake cobwebs. If possible hang paintings of the past occupants of the mansion. You could even have one set up as a place to take pictures. Have the eyes cut out of the picture and have a volunteer stand behind and look through. Then have the guests take their picture next to it as a fun memento of the party. Put a fake cemetery in the yard that can be seen from the windows of the party area. Darken the lights and put ???keep out??? signs wherever you can on the outside of the house. Use as many candles as you can for the flickering light effect. Make the table look as extravagant as possible with a rich tablecloth and runner and fancy serving dishes.
