Jeepers creepers! Make a kooky wreath with funny peepers!
Eye see you! Greet guests at the door with a monstrous Halloween wreath that's more cheery than eerie. You'll need a foam wreath, green crepe streamer, purple boa, eyeball favors, false eyelashes and fuzzy moustaches. Wrap the foam wreath with green streamers, then glue on the eyeballs. Add neon moustaches and false eyelashes to some of the eyes for silly monster looks, then wrap a feathery purple boa around the edge of the wreath as monster "fur" – eye-mazing!
Every witch needs glitz and glam in her cauldron!
Gather the lawn stakes, lace pumpkins, glitter mice and a large cauldron for the materials. Pile the pumpkins into the cauldron and prop up the lawn stakes (and the mice!) for a whimsical look!
Trick-or-treat, witch's feet!
Looks like this wayward witch had to make a crash landing! Make a pair of witch's feet faster than you can say "hocus pocus." Insert rolls of heavy paper into witchy-looking green-and-black striped stockings and fill with wads of paper. Slip witch shoe covers on a pair of black pumps, then stuff the stockings into the shoes. Prop these silly shoes with a broom in your fireplace for a fun witching-hour decoration!
Witches and pumpkins and cones, oh my!
Use a little decoration symmetry with two hanging spirits, two tall friends, and two witches who really wanted to show off their fancy footwear. Light-up cone hats and a trick-or-treat sign on the door complement the look and make it so inviting that that wandering spooks will have to stop by for candy!
Be swept away by high-flying spirits!
A witch's cottage isn’t complete without a broom! Hang one from the porch ceiling as a cute post for these spirit-like figures. Toggle fishing wire so they all hang at different heights, and they'll be hauntingly cute when they move in the wind!
This friendly witch is just lounging around
She's green with Halloween cheer! The long cape gives the witch grandeur while the cat and broom side beside her keep the scene light and humorous for the little goblins. If you want to add a few more accents, hang ghosts and pumpkins on the hedges below the witch. How charming!
Let this creepy critter spin a web on the porch!
It's easy to create big Halloween character without big scares! A friendly Halloween balloon hanging from a porch corner gives the decorations a light-hearted feel that all the little monsters can enjoy. This silly spider features colorful polka dots and a happy grin, and fits right in when tangled up in a group of webs
Dive into the best part of Halloween – candy!
Of course the focal point of every Halloween porch is candy, so design yours to be extra magical! Hang a witch's cauldron trick-or-treat sign above a bright green candy bowl and pumpkins. Between the bright colors and the broom sign, this setup is adorable without being scary for the littlest souls!
Greet trick-or-treaters with a goofy ghost!
Fill him up with air and this happy guy looks like he has his own bag of tricks! Fairies, monsters and witches, too, we’ve got a friendly ghost for you!

Add on a skull, a few fragrant marigolds and shot glasses to attract the spirits with a sweet tooth!
Use a stylized skull for the mantel-altar!

2. Use multi-colored ice for a yucky-yummy drink!
It was a dark and chilling drink! To brew, freeze orange soda, limeade, blue and purple sports drinks, and root beer separately to create colored ice cubes. When these are frozen, rim with a lemon wedge or honey and dip in black sprinkles to get a sugar rim. The glasses are ready to be filled with the colored cubes and sparkling water. Arrange them on cobwebs to make the black cups and colors pop!
3. Layers of gelatin, soda & whipped cream = candy-corn cute!
Create the candy-corn icon without actual candy corn! Freeze yellow gelatin, mixed with mango juice, in the bottom of orange cups and then pour in orange soda. Top it off with whipped cream and sprinkles to get the yellow, orange and white layered look. Boo-cute!
4. Swamp juice for your ghouls!
Create this swampy concoction by mixing equal parts pineapple juice, limeade and green vitamin water, and stir in lime-flavored gelatin to make it thicker. For a more intense green color, use a couple drops of both green and yellow food coloring. Cut small slits in gummy worms so they can sit on the rims of the cups as a garnish. Too delicious to bog you down!
5. Get the trick to making edible cobwebs with candy melt!
Homemade candy webs add a delicious eek to any drink. Using lavender candy melts in a decorating bag, draw the outline of a web with six points, connect the points with three lines and add the inner line. Create on wax paper, let cool and bring to the party for a too-cute-to-spook edible web! Straws with a spider ring taped on make these even more amazing!

PARTY ON: TIPS FOR ENTERTAINING ON A BUDGET
Deciding to throw a party can be both exciting and overwhelming. The role of hostess is a blast, but spending a lot of money to pull everything from decorations to libations together isn’t always feasible. You don’t have to burst your budget though to throw memorable festivities. All you need is a little ingenuity, DIY ambitions and a bit of pitching in from your guests for a sensational bash. Consider these tips if you plan on entertaining on a budget.

Select a Singular Theme - If you’re wanting to leave a lasting impression about your party it can be hard not to throw every decoration in sight into your tablescape and theme, but some of the best evenings are spent with simple accents. Selecting a theme like bold colors or summer florals is an easy way to give the event a little flair without buying all new decorations. If you incorporate flowers, don’t get carried away with garlands and candles as well–instead select only one. This helps with last minute entertaining too. Going overboard can be distracting instead of intriguing.
Incorporate Nature - Another fantastic way to save is by making those accents ones of nature. Flowers purchased from the grocery store can add a pop of color without costing too much. If you’re looking for an even less expensive option, search your surroundings. Succulents can be cut off and organized in a small clear vase for a minimalistic but lively center piece. Not to mention they won’t die like flowers so you can decorate with succulents long after your gathering. You can use shells or varying stones (how cool would a crystal centerpiece be?) or even toss together pretty leaf combinations for an earthy vibe.
Embrace BYOB - Beyond decorations, alcohol can be steep. If you’re hosting a brunch with mimosas or evening cocktail party, a large portion of your costs can come from providing liquor. Not to mention that not everyone has a massive selection just lying around their house so…have your friends do their part by each bringing a different type of liquor. Then you handle the mixers. Fresh pressed juices, soda and fruit for sangria will allow you to provide a bulk of the ingredients and play role of mixologist. It’s a fun way to diversify cocktail offerings and has everyone pitching in without requiring guests to cook a dish.
Think Bite Sized - Unless you’re hosting a potluck, doing a last minute brunch or really going for it with a fully served dinner party, you don’t need to serve massive dishes. Instead, offer hors d’oeuvres and other snacky foods. It’s likely people will be glued to conversations and nibbling throughout the day. A mix of vegetables, cheeses, fruits, breads and a few spreads is all you really need. Meats can be pricy and aren’t always eaten by guests due to dietary restrictions, which means skipping them will save you even more. Also, finger type foods mean napkins and small plates are more than adequate–you won’t need to purchase extra place settings to accommodate all of your guests.

15 Birthday Party Decorations That Your Kids Will Love
Year after year, kids grow up eagerly looking forward to their birthdays. Soon after their birthday for that year is over, they are already anticipating the next birthday, which will come only after a year has passed by. So birthdays are of great significance for kids and they expect a lot of things from their birthdays. Most often, children are blissful over their centenaries but sometimes, as is normally with the kids, they aren’t satisfied with some trivial things and feel sad about the matter. So just as expectant the children are of their birthdays, it takes a great headache for parents to make sure everything is perfect and their children get everything that they expected to.
It takes a great deal of parenting to satisfy the needs of children, but splendid birthday decorations will surely help the cause. Here below are 30 awesome birthday party decorations that every kid will love, and make things easier for parents.
1. Fork Placeholder
2. Hanging Paper Flowers
3. Balloon Blowout
4. Cupcake Liner Flower Lights
5. Tiered Paper Candy Stand
6. Baby’s Sunshine Party
7. Flower Pots for Cutleries
8. Lego-themed Birthday Party
9. Balloon Animals
10. A Day at the Circus
11. Giant Sign
12. Ghostbusters Party
13. Napkin Crafts
14. Miniature Gumball Machines
15. Cupcake Liner Garland















This simple party decoration uses fork as placeholder. Forks can be used to hold light items like paper and cards. Cutting patterns out of paper to write names of kids as shown in the above figure looks great.
Paper flowers hanging up in the ceilings look wonderful. It’s neither very tough nor expensive to create these of our own. It just requires a few paper bags and a bit of imagination.
This decoration can be done even with the most basic balloons. All you need is balloons of several shades and colors and double sided tape to attach the balloons to one another and to the wall as well.
With this awesome trick, the interior of the house can be decorated in a very beautiful way. All one needs is cupcake liners, which can then be turned into pretty flowers.
This is not only eye-catching but also eco-friendly idea for kids’ birthdays. You can make a beautiful stand where you can place candy for all the kids using only paper.
Which jolly, bright kid doesn’t love a sunshine-themed party? There’s probably no better way to do so than by making a yellow lantern garland by tying together lanterns with a nice fishing line and hanging them above the table as shown in the above figure.
Cute flower pots as shown in the above figure could be used to store forks, knives and other cutleries. This is another innovative way to decorate the party, instead of scattering the pieces all over.
Kids love Legos very much and they don’t like it even when someone touches their Legos. For this, a Lego-themed birthday party is a great idea as it will really uplift the mood of the kids.
You can even get animals for the birthday party, whatever the kid likes, from bear, chicken and goat to pigs and lions. Of course, this is normally possible only with helium-filled balloons. Nevertheless, it adds great fun to the party.
Kids love circuses and as such, throwing out a Circus-themed party is a great way to liven up the party. It’s not very arduous as well. You can renovate your home into a day at the circus using hues of red and yellow and circus happenings like face painting. You can also use signs to create a circus-like environment.
You can make wonderful large signs on the walls of the house. If you’re not very comfortable with wall painting and feel you might slip it, you can use projector to do so.
You can even plan the party in the theme of Ghostbusters. There’s not much problem with Ghostbusters-themed party, except some kids may be scared with it.
Instead of using plain napkins, you can cut out the paper napkins out into a variety of fun shapes for kids as shown in the image above, just using scissors.
Miniature gumball machines are easy to make, of course with a bit of creativity. Round overturned terra-cotta pots can be used to make the base of the machine and round glass jars to form the top of the pots.
You don’t have to throw even the leftovers if you can use some imagination and in turn, you can have another brilliant way to decorate your kids’ birthday party. Leftover cupcake liners can be turned into a colorful garland.
