John and I will get a white shower liner curtain from out local dollar store.  Cut into 12" squares, find the center, then stuff with cotton fluff, kleenex, paper towel, anything really, then make a face with perminent marker...for little ghosts.  When making the head, tie enough string round  neck so you can loop 'ghost' in a tree....very cute, easy, and fun....look pretty cool too if you have about 20 of them in one tree....all blowing in the wind.

Also for christmas decorations, we have started to collect acorn shells, let them dry out, paint red or green, makes little bells, with a tough of ribbon, or an ornament hook poked through with a very slim sharp poke to make a small  hole for ornament h ook, or a touch of ribbon, with a knot on bottom for bell, then about an inch up another knot ribbon pushed through top to hang o n tree.

Good luck, Take care, Simba1

Just cut out eye holes and punch holes in the side for elastic, or stick a paddle pop stick on the bottom for them to hold. http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/533994/ideas-for-halloween//#534194 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/533994/ideas-for-halloween//#534194 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 19:11:00 -0700 Re: Ideas for Halloween Jessgore Paint faces on pumpkins... I went to the botanical gardens here in Montreal today, and they had some really well done pumpkins.. Kids stuck all sorts of things on them... Bottle caps, paper, stickers, spaghetti... You could just give them a pumpkin and tell them to put a face on it...
