5 Creepy Halloween DIYs

As I have not seen most of these elsewhere I am posting these fun ideas here with a few notes from my crafting experience.

1. Intestines Cinnamon Bake 

Obviously, this is not for a diabetic.  Also as that is a lot of sugar, you might want to try a natural calorie-free sweetener to cut down on calories.

       2.   Head in a Jar

Although this is not a new idea, adding the hair is and  moss is,   For the hair you could probably use something from Dollar Tree in this toy section or even an old hair extension or wig.  

Hot glue will attach something quickly, but it will not last up being in water; I would recommend E6000, Amazing Goop or other clear, strong glue.

      3.   Creepy Eyeballs

Ping Pong balls would be a great substitute for the styrofoam one and you could use a Sharpies instead of paint.

       4.  Spider and stuff Ice Cubes

While this is a cool effect, it could be a choking hazard.  

Better alternatives if you wanted to try this would be to use in a punch bowl to fish around the ice cubes or to freeze in the cubes then freeze those cubes in a larger bowl or tray and put into a punch bowl.

You would want to wash the plastic items in antibacterial soap and thoroughly rinse the plastic items before putting into the trays.

A better alternative would be to get ice cube trays that make spooky shapes, such as bats, skulls, etc. to make ice cubes.  Dollar Tree usually has at least one themed ice cube tray around Halloween.

       5.  Skull Plate

Keep in mind this would be just for decoration and not something you can eat off off.

Also, this technique can be tricky and easy to mess up so you need to be patient and careful in rubbing off the paper.   After brushing the decopague on top and allowing to dry you might want to spray a clear coat of clear spray paint to help preserve.  (This too would just be for decoration, not something you can eat off of).

For more of a DIY vibe, but less professional-looking results, would be to use a marker/pen that is designed for use on ceramics and use a stencil or draw a skull-free hand.
