Last Minute Halloween Crafts and Treats

 Can you believe we are already in the final countdown for Halloween.. EEEK!  While I am still working on a few new items for this year, I thought I would share some of my older Halloween posts with quick, easy and affordable crafts that you may be interested in doing with your family.  

If you are having or attending a Halloween Party, a cute way to give out treats is by making these Halloween Treat boxes using mini boxes from the Dollar Tree.  You can see how I made them using google eyes and paper on my post Even More Halloween Treat Boxes.

If you like to make cupcakes, here are a few you might be interested in.  You can see how to make these fun monster cupcakes here on our post Halloween Cupcakes.

And you can find these cupcakes using Oreos and candy on the post Easy Halloween Cupcakes.

One of my favorite pumpkin crafts, using Dollar Tree Pumpkins was my Olaf.  You can see how to make him on this post Olaf Pumpkin

I have an entire gang of pumpkins made from Dollar Tree pumpkins. I had plans on adding a few new ones this year, but it did not happen.  You can see how to make all of these and a three eyed monster pumpkin here on my post Pumpkin Idea Round Up (no carve). 

If you are looking for quick and easy yard decor for Halloween night, you can make these glowing aliens to light the walk to your porch. You can see how to make them on my post Glowing Alien Heads for Halloween. 

Do you need a last minute costume?  A few years back I threw together this unicorn costume, using tulle, an unicorn headband, and rainbow sweatshirt.  You can see more on how I put everything together on this post How to make an unicorn costume - quick and easy tips.

My last craft is one of my favorites.  Together with my kids we made these cute frames to display their Halloween pictures. They had a blast making theme, and I now have last memories.  You can see how we put them together using Dollar Tree frames on my post Halloween Themed Frames.

Happy Crafting and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Easy Halloween Cupcakes

First up, a spider cupcake.  Frost your cupcakes in the color of your choice. I did not realized how much I missed on the edge until I took this picture. (it's okay, these were just for the family anyway) 

The legs are cherry flavored black licorice, and the eyes are red hots attached with a bit of black gel.  These spiders are definitely more yummy, than scary. 

This spooky display is super easy (and inexpensive!) as well.  The Halloween cloth and the bag of spiders were from the dollar store.  I just threw it over my cake plate and added the spiders.. 

We happen to love cats around here, and don't think black cats are scary at all.  We used to have one that was super sweet.  To make a black cat cupcake, we just added candy eyes, a red hot nose, candy corn ears, and black licorice whiskers.

Sit out the cupcakes and watch them disappear!
