Halloween lantern

Lets recycle and decorate at the sametime! Save those cans and wash
them. Take the paper off and draw a Jack-o-lantern face on them.
Fill them with water (not to the top) and freeze. When frozen, go
outside and hammer a nail all around your drawing - also put a hole at
the top of both sides. Let the ice thaw and the can dry. Paint the
whole thing orange. Then paint the face black. Add a ribbon or some
wire through the side holes. Put a votive candle inside. Now you
have a Halloween lantern.

Orbs

Blow up a balloob (round is better). Get some wall paper paste (about
$2) and some yarn (orange, green, and white for Halloween). Lay out a
drop cloth. Cover the balloon with vasaline. Also get a plastic cup
that you don't care about to set the balloon on. This does get messy.
Cut a long length of yarn. Dip it into the paste. Wrap it around
the balloon while making sure to over lap (cross lines). Let it dry.
Pop the balloon and hang. White for a ghost - black yard for eyes
and mouth. Orange and green for a pumpkin. They look really cool.

Paper bag pumpkins

Take a paper lunch bag - white looks best. Fill it with news paper.
Paint it orange. Paint the top inc or two green. Let it dry. Tie
twine around the top. Now you have something for your table for both
halloween and thanksgiving.
