Make a spirited first impression by turning a sidelight window into a scary sign.

Use piercing cat eyes and bold letters to send a cautionary note to all who dare approach. Use black or white paper along with green stickers and beads for the cat eyes. Print large letters from your computer or trace them onto black and white paper. Cut them out and tape the eyes and your message inside the glass.

Cast a spell on a door with a black wreath with lots of wiggle eyes attached.

Spread craft glue all over a 12-inch round foam wreath. Take a black chenille boa or some other feathery trim and snake it around the foam wreath -- pressing the feathers into the glue as it dries.

Now for the  eyeballs. Cut in half 1-1/2" and 1" foam balls in pairs.

Hot glue the wiggle eyes to the round side of the foam balls.


Assemble a set of eyes by gluing the flat side of a pair to a 3" piece of wire. And attach the eyeballs to the wreath by sticking the 3" wire into the wreath.

Turn mummy pumpkins into pathway beacons. When night falls or the lights are off, they'll come to life as they glow-in-the-dark. These are standouts in the daytime, too. 

Fold in half lengthwise 4x12" stirps of cheesecloth. Apply fabric stiffener according to manufacturers instructions. Wind the cheesecloth around the pumpkin leaving the top (steam) and bottom of the pumpkin exposed. Let dry. 

Hot glue large wiggle eyes to the pumpkins. Fold in half lengthwise a few 4x5" inch strips of cheesecloth. Apply fabric stiffener. Use these strips to cover the top and bottom of each eye in a diagonal so the eyes peek out. Let dry.

Cut your mummy a mouth and paint the inside black. Paint the cheesecloth with glow in the dark gel paint and line your pathway.
