The Best Decoration for Halloween is Free - Tree Limbs


http://www.BooItYourself.com

Welcome to the Frightly Evening News--I'm Justin Grave, and I'm thrilled to report that  there's one totally free no-cost, stupendous Halloween decoration that everyone should have, and very few do.
Dead Tree branches! Use small ones inside to add to centerpieces and arrangements, but also get some larger branches to tie up outside around your entry ways. The size is only limited by your strength and the size of your car. Scout out the streets...you'll suddenly be amazed at how many are lying around dead out there! Here' a tip...bring along a portable battery saw or hacksaw. You can do some on-the-scene chopping and hacking to make sure your limbs fit in the car or truck...the tree limbs too!..ha..I kill me! Anyways... Once at home in arrangements or fastened to outdoor fixtures,' you can add spider webbing for even more Halloween Decoration Fun. decorating trees does not have to be just for Christmas!
Go out on a limb this Halloween! (Who writes this stuff?)

Using Tulle in Halloween Decorating




http://www.BooItYourself.com

Ghoul evening everyone! Use TUL for Halloween...no not t o o l...t u l l e ...it's that white netting used mostly for bridal veils and gowns. It's that whispy white stuff. It typically is reactive to black light....so it's great to use for glowing tricks. Get a bolt of it. Shred it, tear it, rip it. Hang it across windows for curtains, put it in doorways. If it's in the windows or archways....tuck a fan away near-by to make it BLOW in the wind. TULLE--it's not just for weddings anymore!

Huge Cheap Spider Web for Halloween Decoration

If you're using blacklight, this is an awesome trick. If you aren't, it's still a cool Halloween decoration:
Get some cheap masking tape and "spin" a giant web.




Most white masking tape is reactive to black light so it will glow. If you're not using blacklight...it's still a super cheap and BIG decoration. Just make the
web across windows or archways...wherever people will not be crossing! It's a Halloween mask of a whole different dimension!

Practicing Electrical Decoration Safety Outdoors This Halloween




We can't stress safety enough on Halloween. Most everyone is aware of safety with your trick-or-treaters, but very few take safety precautions with their outside decorating to make sure their visitors are safe. Invest in a few GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS! Wherever the main power outlets  are that you plug your outdoor decorations into, make sure you place one of these GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS at the outlet. It pretty much looks like a plug with a socket in it.
This will make sure that if there's any short in any line the power will be cut dead...better that than your guests. The electrical short may be because of water.... may be because a little kid is sticking his finger into a light socket... no matter. The device acts like a circuit breaker and ...uh umm...breaks the circuit. It can easily be reset. More easily than resetting one of your trick or treaters.
Practice Safety in your electrical decorations and effects this Halloween!

Making Edible Fake Dirt For Halloween Decorations and Games

 

http://www.BooItYourself.com
We seldom get all oooey gooey here and we leave the food stuff up to the home-maker types...but...we want to mention how to make edible dirt! We've done fake blood...so let's dig into some
fake dirt! If you want a base for some cool centerpiece graveyards on the table, or on a cake...or you want to make DIRT CUPS for the kiddies, just get either OREOS or hard chocolate cookies or chocolate graham crackers...and CRUSH THEM...I mean really lay into them..get a roller. smash them! ...Now that's edible dirt. If you do the cup thing...get clear plastic cups and be sure to bury some gummy worms or other assorted treats in there. Better yet...for a great party game....provide 0the kids with the sutff and let them dig their own grave...i mean fill their own party treat cups! It's a dirty trick, but someone's got to do it!

Edible Fake Blood for Halloween Decorating, Make-Up, Oozing



http://www.BooItYourself.com  
We're pretty sure the Party and holiday shops already hate us because we've blown their cover and have shown people how to do cool Halloween tricks for very low cost. Well...here's another cheap trick. Don't pay an arm and a claw for fake blood at the Halloween shops ....my gord...you'll need to donate blood to pay for that fake stuff! Instead---Just get some black cherry gelatin. Add corn syrup and only a little water for thick blood, and more water for thinner, runnier blood. It's bloody fantastic! And it's edible & non-toxic...well..that's if you consider gelatin to be either edible or non-toxic!
I'm getting all wiggly inside.
If you want to make washable NON-EDIBLE fake blood, then just mix in some dish soap or laundry detergent into the concoction. That's an age-old theater trick!

Dress Up or Pimp Out Your Pumpkin






Costumes aren't just for people anymore....they're for pumpkins too! Why not use them as props in your pumpkin decorating? Add an eye patch, an earing, or a witch hat! Also "pimp out" the pumpkin with "bling." We've pretty much seen it all in carvings, so this will give new life to this age-old tradition. 
And another thing! TRY THIS!---Turn your pumpkin on its side and use the stem for a nose!!!
