Cadılar Bayramı, hem çocuklar hem de yetişkinler için partiler anlamına gelir ve bir partinin olduğu yerde içki içmek zorunludur. Aşağıda iki harika coaster projesi bulacaksınız.

Bu ilk eğlenceli köpük bardak seti, dekor ve yüzey koruyucu olarak çifte görev yapıyor!

Neye ihtiyacınız olacak

Adım 1: Tüm tabanları 6 mm köpükten kesin. Aşağıdaki keçe bardak altlıkları için desen kullanarak siyah bir taban kesin. Beyaz 3/4 inçlik bir daire kesin. 2 siyah 3/4 inç kare kesin.

­Step 2: Download the Creepy Coasters patterns as a PDF and use them to cut out design shapes from 2mm craft foam with scissors and craft knife. Punch holes from 2mm craft foam in colors shown in photo.

Step 3: Glue designs to corresponding foam bases. Paint some pirate's treasure gold. Let dry.

Foam coasters may not be the right choice for an adult party, so consider making your Halloween drinks spooktacular with creepy coasters made from felt.

What You'll Need

Step 1: Download the Felt Coasters pattern as a PDF. Trace the circle pattern onto felt twice. Use pinking shears to cut out the circles, cutting just outside the traced line.

­Step 2: Create the coaster's middle layer by tracing the circle pattern onto a different color felt; cut along the traced line with regular scissors.

Step 3: Trace a silhouette shape onto one of the circles with the pinked edge. Use embroidery scissors to cut out the shape, starting inside the shape so the edge of the circle is left undisturbed.

Step 4: Glue the 3 layers of felt together, placing the circle with the silhouette on top, the plain circle in the middle, and the solid pinked-edge circle on the bottom.

Note: The yarn type, washing machine, water temperature, and condition can all affect the felting process. Check the pieces at regular intervals to determine felting condition. If you need more than one full cycle, reset the machine and start again, checking frequently; if the project is felted to your satisfaction in less than a full cycle, rinse well without agitation, spin to remove excess water, and remove it from the machine.

Using small load setting, fill washer with hot water and add a small amount of mild detergent or dishwashing liquid. Place old towels or a pair of jeans (to help with the felting process) and the pot holders in washer, and agitate until they are the correct size and the individual stitches are no longer visible. Check frequently (approximately every minute). Once felted, remove from washer, rinse in hot water, and pat dry in a towel to remove excess water. Do not wring. Block pot holders to size; let dry.

What You'll Need

Making Papier-Mache Paste

Combine 2 cups cold water and 1/2 cup flour in medium-size bowl. Set aside. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add flour mixture to boiling water; stir constantly until mixture returns to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons sugar. Transfer to medium-size bowl, and let mixture cool and thicken, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Making Spider Candy Bowl

Step 1: Cover your workspace with scrap paper or newspaper. Blow up the balloon, and set on the bowl to hold in place.

Step 2: Draw a 6-inch-diameter circle onto cardboard and black felt; cut out. Set the felt circle aside. Tape the cardboard circle to the top of the balloon (opposite the knot) with masking tape, running the tape in a spoke pattern across the top of the balloon. This will be the bottom of the bowl.

Step 3: Tear newspaper into strips roughly 2X11 inches. You'll need approximately 1 double page for each layer of papier-mache.

Step 4: Using a 1-inch paintbrush, apply a bit of papier-mache paste onto a large vertical section of the balloon. Place a newspaper strip on this area, and smooth down with more paste. Repeat the process, laying strips vertically and slightly overlapping each other. Continue until the newspaper strips reach as high as you'd like your candy bowl to be.

Step 5: Let the first layer dry. (Leave balloon on mixing bowl, but rotate it every couple of hours so all parts of it are exposed to air.) Each layer will need approximately 8 hours to dry.

Step 6: Once the first layer is dry, apply another layer of strips horizontally over the balloon, slightly overlapping each strip as before. Let dry. Repeat with a second vertical layer and a second horizontal layer. Remember to let each layer dry thoroughly.

Step 7: When all layers are dry, gently pop the balloon, and remove it from the papier-mache. Masking tape will still be attached to balloon -- cut it away and smooth the ends down over the cardboard insert. Trim top of bowl to desired size.

Step 8: Using a 1-inch paintbrush, paint both the interior and exterior with 2 layers of black paint. Let dry between coats.

Step 9: Place the felt circle in the bottom of the bowl to cover the cardboard and masking tape. Glue, if desired.

Step 10: Using a foam cutter or a serrated knife, cut the foam ball in half. Paint one half black. To create a drying stand, place the other half, round side up, on a flat surface; stick a toothpick in the bottom half, and put the painted half on the toothpick. Let dry for 1 hour before handling.

Step 11: Bend the bump chenille stems into leg shapes. Use the awl to poke 4 holes in each side of the bowl. Stick the legs through the holes and attach to the interior sides of the bowl using small pieces of electrical tape. Glue the black foam shape to the front of the bowl. Let dry.

Step 12:Download Spider Candy Bowl pattern and use it to cut an oval from white felt and a smaller oval from burgundy; glue in place for the spider's mouth. Cut 2 more ovals from white felt for eyes, and cut pupils from black felt; glue black pieces onto white. Cut two 2-inch pieces from the straight chenille stem; bend them in half, and attach one half to the back of each eye with craft glue. Poke small holes in the foam with a toothpick, and insert the stems so the eyes protrude from the face.

What You'll Need

And you thought the shower scene in Psycho was scary. Put it to shame by giving kids a craft that's awash in terror: monster mouth soap dispensers.

Step 1: Kids can draw the head of a monster, vampire, ghost, or otherworldly being on the paper circles. The soap dispenser tip can poke out of the mouth, eye, or, if you've got a real gruesome guest, wound on the head. Help the kids mark the spot of their choice before they began drawing.

Step 2: When the head design is to the artist's liking, cover the front and back with the clear adhesive paper, then cut out the hole for the dispenser tip. Slide the head on the tip, leaving at least an 1/8 inch of tip poking from the head opening so the soap doesn't drip directly onto it. Secure the head in the back with tape.

Step 3: For special effects, you can mix a few drops of food coloring in each child's soap, so a blood red, spooky blue, gross green, or even a morbid black mix can ooze out of the opening. The colored soap will not stain skin.

Step 4: Kids can use any leftover paper or cardstock to create a monster body that can also be covered with the adhesive paper and taped to the soap dispenser.

Next, have fun making bat bracelets for the kids at your Halloween party -- so easy to make that the kids themselves can do it.

Send kids flying over the moon by helping them create bat-wing bracelets.

Step 1:

To make, cut out 2 or 3 bats from black construction paper per child. Supply the kids with puffy paints, glitter, and glue or glitter pens so they can personalize the wings of their bats. When the bats are completed and dry, stack each kid's bats and turn the stack over. Staple the bats together in the center.

Step 2: Place a rubber band over the staple, and staple the rubber band and bats together. Kids can slip the bat bracelet on their wrists and flap their...er, wings. The layers of bats make a fluttering sight the kids won't be able to resist.

Another great project for kids is making a book of spells. You just need a few arts and craft materials to get started. Learn more on the next page.

What kid doesn't need a special place to sketch out spells, secrets, and dreams? Give each a chance to personalize a book of spells for which any witch or wizard would wish.

Purchase bound composition books (from the dollar store) or spiral notebooks, sequins, flat-backed rhinestones, glitter, craft glue, construction paper, feathers, etc. Let kids unleash their creativity by decorating the covers of their spell books. Offer a few silly love spells or homework spells to start them off:

Some spells need more than just a neat rhyme. Make your own magical worms with our next project.

The worm is as essential to a magic spell as is eye of newt. Save kids a trip to the backyard by giving them all they need to create a magic worm of their own.

Step 1: Cut sheets of foam in half. Have kids draw a worm shape on a piece of foam and cut it out. They then use the first worm as a pattern to cut out another worm from another piece of foam. Have them lay a chenille stem down the center of the worm and glue the two pieces of foam together. Place all foam scraps in the middle of the craft table.

Step 2: While waiting for the pieces to dry, kids can cut designs from the leftover foam pieces and glue them, along with wiggle eyes, to their worms. After one hour, the glue will be set and the worm can be bent into different shapes.

The next Halloween crafts project is great for kids' parties. Let the kids make their very own scary, living plants.

If you've ever seen the film "Little Shop of Horrors," you know that Audrey II, the bloodthirsty plant that made the flower shop so horrifying, was hardly a houseplant you'd want to bring home to mom. But with just a few supplies and a little creativity, this Halloween craft is something that every mom will love.

Mini Man-Eater

Step 1: Use a craft knife to cut a 2-inch hole across each tennis ball for the plant's mouth. Also, cut out different petal shapes from the felt.

Step 2: Then, your kids can decorate their man-eating flowers with evil eyes, luscious lips, nefarious noses, perfect petals, and sinister stems.

This next Halloween craft is great to do at a party. It's the perfect size to keep little hands occupied.

It's Alive!

Step 1: Before the party, pick up a small bag of potting soil, small clay pots (21/4- or 3-inch pots work well), and inexpensive packets of quick-growing cat grass. (Cat grass seeds can be found at garden or pet stores.)

Step 2: At the party, give kids acrylic paints and brushes, and invite them to paint a silly or spooky face on their pots. When the paint is dry, have them line their pots with aluminum foil. Then help them scoop soil into their pots and plant the seeds according to the packet directions. The grass will sprout within a week or two, making silly hair for the pot people.

Your face will turn white with fright when you spy this spine-chilling sight! But don't let the little ones worry, this spooky skeleton is soft to the touch, and even better, he's a snap to make.

What You'll Need

Step 1: Cut a two-bump section from a white bump stem. This will be the spine.

Step 2: To make the skull, cut two bumps and twist them together so that the thin parts are hidden. Bend the thick parts into a circle, then straighten out the bottom thin parts and twist them together and onto the spine.

Step 3: Find the middle of a stem and twist it on to the spine, just under the skull. Bend this stem to form shoulders and arms, cutting the stems to remove most of the thin part of each side and twisting the stem back together to look like elbow joints.

Step 4: Cut a one-bump piece and twist it to the bottom of the spine. This horizontal piece is the skeleton's hips.

Step 5: Cut another stem in half and twist each piece to one side of the hip bone. Bend and twist each leg between bumps to create knees.

Step 6: To make the rib cage, cut four two-bump pieces and twist them onto the spine. Bend each rib around the spine toward the front of the skeleton.

Step 7: Finally, cut the remaining stem into four bumps, and bend each bump in half. Twist them to the ends of the arms and legs to create hands and feet.

With so many fun and easy crafts to choose from, it may be next Halloween before you've tried them all. But don't let that prospect give you a fright -- pick your favorite Halloween craft and let the fun begin.
