Halloween !!!!!

    I had found something special for this year Halloween and i wanted to share with you:



                          Mr. and Mrs. 










These simply adorable his-and-hers pumpkins that are easy  to make. Along with the provided stencils, just use marker and lipstick to make a moustache and lips.
Materials
• Pencil
• Tracing paper
• Scissors
• 2 pumpkins
• Felt-tip pens: black, red
• Wide black permanent marker
• Red lipstick
Directions
1. Cut outand trace lightly onto pumpkin with felt-tip pen, being careful not to puncture skin.
2. For mustache: Trace outline with permanent marker; fill in.
3. For lips: Trace outline with lipstick; fill in.



                    Menacing Mummy








Wrap a pumkin in cheesecloth to create an ominous-looking mummy’s head. Black construction-paper eyes add to the eerie image.
  
Materials
• Cheesecloth
• Scissors
• Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
• Pumpkin
• Black construction paper
Directions
1. Unfold cheesecloth and cut into 3"-wide strips. Starting toward the bottom of the pumpkin, dot a 6" horizontal line of glue onto the pumpkin. Press a strip of cheesecloth onto it to adhere. Continue to work horizontally from the bottom up, dotting lightly with hot glue and starting new cheesecloth strips when necessary, until pumpkin is covered. Add another layer or two until no orange shows through.
2. Cut two 2"-wide ovals from the construction paper. Near the top third of the pumpkin, separate the layers of cheesecloth, using scissors if necessary, to create two 2"-wide openings for eyes. Dab hot glue inside openings; press ovals onto pumpkin. Pull cheesecloth openings closed to hide edges of construction paper.


                   Spindly Spider 







Turn three gourds on their side to make this spider. Button eyes and branch legs complete the creepy crawly creature.
Materials
• 3 pumpkins, in graduated sizes
• Screwdriver or butter knife (optional)
• Six 6" bamboo skewers
• Scissors
• 2 small plastic or Styrofoam plates
• 2 buttons
• Straight pins
• Rubber gloves and newspaper (optional)
• 8 slightly curved branches
• Black spray paint (optional)
Directions
1. Align pumpkins on the ground from smallest to largest, with stems facing same direction (in this case, left) and
flattest sides down.
2. Snap the stems off the two largest pumpkins, wedging a screwdriver or butter knife between the stem base and the top of the pumpkin for leverage, if necessary.
3. Poke three skewers halfway into the stem side of the largest pumpkin, spacing them evenly apart. Poke other end of skewers into base of medium pumpkin, pushing it toward larger pumpkin until the skewers hold them flush. Using remaining three skewers, repeat with medium pumpkin and smallest pumpkin.
4. Cut circles out of plates for eyes; arrange buttons on top for pupils. Pin eyes through buttonholes onto smallest pumpkin, above the stem.
5. If desired, wearing gloves and working on a newspaper-covered surface in a well-ventilated area, spray branches black, twirling them to cover all sides. Let dry.
6. Using screwdriver or knife to start the holes, if necessary, poke four branches into each side of middle pumpkin, evenly spaced, curves facing downward.

                                                                                          Have fun .
