Halloween is very near and you are looking for fresh, spooky and inexpensive home-made decorations. Don't worry you've come to the right place! You can make a haunted house, ghost, pumpkin, Frankenstein, etc from the cheapest things you can find at home. For example, you can make a mummy from wooden craft sticks (or popsicle sticks), glue, a square yard of muslin and tiny googly eyes.
You can even turn a seaside bucket into a witch's cauldron by wrapping it with black crepe or tissue paper and decorate it with red stickers or glitter glue. You can also turn a old white glove into a mummy hand!
Cut off three sides of cereal box, 6 inches from the bottom. Cut the fourth side high enough to make the lid. Cover box with black construction paper and then draw Halloween design on sides of box with white chalk. Cut out the design with a scissor or ask an adult to help you do this. Paste orange crepe paper on inside of box to cover the cut out areas. Paste black features on design if desired. Fold fourth side down to make the lid. For a handle, draw cord across the bottom of the box, punch holes and draw the cord through the bottom corners; draw the cord up the sides, through the top corners and tie up at the top, allowing enough cord for a handle. Place a flashlight inside to light it up the design at night.
Find a brown paper bag (the type you use for packing lunch). Bulb end of flashlight is inserted 2 inches into the open end of the paper bag. Draw open end of bag together around flashlight and tape with masking tape or tie with string. Bag may be decorated by using tempera paints and/or construction paper. If tempera paints are used the design is drawn and painted directly on at least one of the faces of the bag (if desired, designs can be placed on all four sides of the paper bag). If construction paper is used, the desired portions of the designs are cut out of this paper and pasted to one or more faces of the bag. While the picture on the paper bag is being designed the flashlight can be lighted in a darkened area to obtain the desired effect. Combinations of two or more faces can be used for dramatic skits. These are perfect for Halloween, you can make the flashlight a character that is a smaller version of you.
