Cheap and Easy DIY Window Monsters

Photo:  Lisa Gordon



Wired,com has instruction to make window monsters to spook up your windows on cheap with most of the items that would be available at your local dollar store.

• Black posterboard or black-painted cardboard

• Colored cellophane or tissue paper (to put behind the cutout areas of the posterboard)

• Tape 

• Measuring tape

• Chalk or pencil 

• Scissors (or an X-Acto knife)

You basically measure your windows, cut out paper so it is not to big, draw your monsters, cut them out,  put cellophane behind the cut out and tape up.

For complete instructions visit Wired,com 

Martha Stewart has a similar concept using fabric to make Spooky Bird Silhouettes, but a poster board could be used instead and there is a template to download and instructions on how to use them.

CREEPY BABY COSTUMES

This looks like something right out of a Hansel and Gretel nightmare - babies dressed as food.

On Martha Stewart for Halloween 2006, she had guest Isabele Ortley show how to make some of the most disturbing Halloween costumes; babies dressed as food. Something about the baby dressed as a turkey lying on a table or being presented like a piece of food really creeps me out.
