    Swab Skeletons

    Make no bones about it: this is a spellbinding Halloween party craft! Cover a work area with plastic wrap, then set out cotton swabs, cotton balls, black paper, and glue. Using plenty of glue, your guests can build skeletons from the swabs, cutting them into different lengths as needed, then attach cotton ball skulls and black paper faces. When the glue is dry, the skeletons can be hung up with thread.

    Give a Hoot

    This statuesque owl was hatched from humble origins--namely, a cardboard tube and paper cupcake liners--so you don't need to be talon-ted to make one!

    Make an Apple Cozy

    It can be a bruising ride to school in a kid's lunch box. Protect fruit from dirt and dings with a fleece pouch.
