Skeleton Pumpkin
1. Spray-paint 2 faux pumpkins (1 oval, 1 round) white and let dry completely.
2. Cut stem off round pumpkin so oval "head" can sit on top.
3. Download the skeleton template, size it to your pumpkins and trace the outlines onto the pumpkins.
4. Using black craft paint, fill in the outlined face and bones and let dry. Stack the pumpkins.
RUSTIC HARVEST WREATH
Place dried foliage such as preserved bracken fern and asparagus branches onto a pampas grass wreath form, mixing large and small pieces as you go. To finish the look, use floral wire or hot glue to add an earthy assortment of dried fruit.
BOO-ZY COCKTAILS
Use olives or blueberry-stuffed lychees as eyeballs to instantly turn any clear concoction into a frightfully festive drink.
Active 5 min. | Total 5 min.
Bright green pitted olives Spicy pickled peppers or pieces of pickled red cherry peppers Peeled, pitted lychees Blueberries Vodka or gin Dry vermouth (optional) Ice Lemon twist
1. Fill olives with peppers and thread sets of 2 onto cocktail picks.
2. Fill each lychee with 1 blueberry and thread sets of 2 onto cocktail picks.
3. For each martini, add 2 oz (/4 cup) vodka or gin and 1 Tbsp dry vermouth, if using, to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until very cold. Pour into coupe glass, twist lemon peel over drink, then discard lemon peel and serve with lychee or olive "eyes."
LAST-MINUTE MASKS
For this sweet, simple idea, dress up pumpkins with an array of Halloween masks (sleep masks also work!). Use straight pins to keep straps in place.
PUMPKIN PARTY
Think beyond jack-o'-lanterns with sophisticated styles fit for a centerpiece or the front porch.
