Do You Ever Make Your Own...  

Hi pye,


What a clever person you are, I could never make anything and not only that, I live with hubby and he don't like any decos round the house, the such a misery, but I do have small couldrons and pumpkins hanging, alos my big witch doll I have standing near the door, I also have another witch that cackles and her eyes lightsup and then she takes a leap, so I think its good enough, well so the hubby says.


Bright Blessings.

I really love Halloween....my favorite time of year! I love your ideas! I haven't made little ghosts for a long time but I used to make them with cheesecloth and fabric starch...and a small ball or small balloon. Cut a square of the cheesecloth and dip into the starch....spread over the ball and let dry. Then you have a perfect see through ghost!
I should make those again!

One year we decided to go all out for the holiday........it was a blast.....I love this time of year.

that is really fun, pye.... it is gonna be my first Halloween here in the US and I am very excited of that TRICK OR TREAT thing. I don't have decors for the big H, but I love to curve my own pumpkin and on the night of the TRICK OR TREAT, I am planning to wear my own Halloween costume and play a trick on the children here then I will give them treats... I can't wait for that big H day...

They sound great pye! We don’t really celebrate Halloween here although my daughter goes trick or treating with her dad but not too many kids do it. She came home with so much stuff; some people even gave her money! I rarely see Halloween decorations here but yours sound like so much fun that I may even start making some anyway!

sure, when i was young, about 13-14 years old i maked a big halloween pumpkin, and skeletons to hang in my room and other halloween things. But here in italy we don't have halloween, so it's difficult to find decorations or other halloween otside. But in the last years there are more halloween festivals here, there is one party in a big restourant this years, i'll go there dressed as a mad mad doctor, my girlfriend will dress herself as a nurse *ç* .

I don't really decorate for occasions, but I do hang up a cross-stitch banner on my door window. I have a nice one of a witch sitting atop a huge jacko'lantern, hoping all your hallowe'en wishes come true.
I should put it up.

The kids and I used to do alot of decorations for Halloween.....since they are no longer here I sometimes have a hard time digging out my decorations.....My granddaughter is coming today to bake cut out cookies.....but that might be it. I do have to tell you though when my son was little and needed a costume for Halloween I used a big garbage bag...used duck tape on the inside to gather it up and made him into a California raisin.....he won first prize!

Hi Pyeacket, no need at all, we don't have Halloween here.

No never ever thought about it.
I do have to put teh scarecrows back together ever year as the straw falls out

I usually make Halloween decorations with my grandkids. We collect as many possible things in the house that can be used for the decorations, then I just let them go to town with thier imaginations and let them create whatever comes to mind! They really have a ball doing this, as it does not always have to be a structured craft that they are making.
