Halloween Tricks and Treats

Capture the spirit of the holiday with these frightfully delightful party ideas.

Masked Pumpkins

Adorn your tabletop with one of our pet projects: a pair of trick-or-treating pumpkins. The decoration is hauntingly simple to make using our online templates.

1. Trace a mask shape onto a sheet of stiff felt and trace the accompanying elements onto adhesive-backed felt.
2. Cut out and assemble the pieces.
3. To ensure the mask stays in place, adhere two adhesive-backed Velcro coins to the back of the mask, by the eyes. Place the corresponding coins on top and remove the backing. Press the mask onto the pumpkin.
4. Use glue dots to attach googly eyes. For the dog, add a pom-pom nose; for the cat, attach embroidery-thread whiskers.
