A Jack-O-Lantern with a twist

Let’s face it: everyone is bored and tired of the old Jack-O-Lantern look. Who does not? Wouldn’t it be nice to create something different from the rest? But first, learn how to make the basic Jack-O-Lantern.

The first thing you need to do is draw a circular outline around the stem of the pumpkin. Carve the outline at an angle, you have a cone shape under the cap. Twist the top of the gourd. Remove the pulp with a knife and scrape out the insides with a spoon.

Draw your favorite Jack-O-Lantern face or pattern on the pumpkin and cut out the outline. Place a tea light or lantern inside.

Now that you know how to carve your traditional Jack-O-Lantern, it’s time to discover other options and varieties. You can use green bell peppers for goblins, tangerines for mini Jack-O-Lanterns, red bell peppers for little ghouls, and melons for pale ghosts.

witch kitchen jars

If you want to add an interesting flavor to your Halloween kitchen with homemade Halloween crafts, witch kitchen jars would be the best project. Your homemade Halloween craft materials for this project could be endless.

The first step you need to do is simply spray paint the caps so that the old labels are covered. Popular colors are black, red, silver and green.

The next thing you need to do is fill those jars. You can put pretty much anything in it, like mushrooms, rice, dried fruit, root vegetables, and spices. Fill with water.

Once you’ve thought of a name like “Brain Stew” or “Elf Eyeballs,” play around with your word processor’s font styles and print your label on paper.

For vintage-looking labels: brew tea bags in freshly boiled water, remove, and let tea cool. Pour the tea into a spray bottle and spray on its label. Let your decal dry on wax paper. Once dry, stick the label on your jar with glue. Apply varnish if desired. Finish by tying some old twine around the neck of the jar.

halloween treats

Put your witch ingredients aside and create some seriously tasty Halloween treats. This homemade Halloween craft project is especially fun for kids to do. All you need are spoons, candy melts, and a few other decorating supplies.

Melt your caramel according to the directions and simply dip each spoon into the melted caramel, scoop it out and place the melt on parchment paper until the caramel is cool enough to remove from the paper. Cover candies with clear cellophane and secure with ribbon or string.

To complete your homemade Halloween candy crafts, cut out an egg carton and paint them to create fun hats for your candy. Attach yarn to the hats for the “hair” and draw the eyes and mouth on the candy wrap with markers. Use green candy melts for witches, white for ghosts, and orange for Jack-O-Lanterns.

These are just some of the tricks you can do for your homemade Halloween project. Now think of other things you can find in your kitchen to create something spooky and entertaining!
