The Best of DIY

Happy Halloween everyone! I got together recipes for some really spooky cupcakes. I wanted to make the mummy cupcakes for my boyfriend to take into work, but didn’t have frosting it called for. The mummy cupcake is my favorite! Here is a recipe to make them. I found all the recipes on Fabulousfoods.com. I hope everyone has a great Halloween, try not to eat too much candy!

1. yummy mummy cupcakes

3. monster cupcakes

4. vampire cupcakes

Want to creep out your guests coming to your party or trick-or-treaters? Well, I think this eyeball doorbell would do the trick. I’m sure visitors will think twice about touching that doorbell. I found a tutorial through Crafty Crafty that shows you how to make this. It is quite a lengthy tutorial because you have to create the doorbell bezel, so if you are looking for something last minute I’m sure you can just create the eyeball by itself to attach to the exsisting doorbell.

Halloween is only a day away! If you have a party planned and are looking for some last minute decorations these bleeding candles would be perfect! I found a tutorial over at Martha Stewart Living.

Don’t you just love the colors of fall leaves? Well, I found a great recycling project that involves maple leaves and creating a beautiful bouquet. This bouqet of maple leaf roses would be the perfect center piece for a fall wedding, or family get together. I wish I lived up north so I could create this.

Instead of carving a scary face on your pumpkins you can drill some holes and make neat designs. You can use real pumpkins to do this or I could see using craft pumpkins. Sring the pumpkins with the tiny white christmas lights and you have luminaries. I found this tutorial on Martha Stewart Living.

I never would have thought to make a Gingerbread House for Halloween. It seems like more and more Christmas decorations can be made just the same for Halloween. I really like the idea of a Haunted Gingerbread house, there is so much candy around this time of year you can get very creative. I found a tutorial and some templates on allrecipes.com on how to make a Halloween Gingerbread house.
