Halloween Finds / Break open a glow stick, dump it in a jar, shake it up and you have an instant glow stick lantern! I'm thinking Halloween on the patio.

Simply Creative Insanity: Tricks and Treats
Witch's Curtain - Martha Stewart Crafts
Listen well, my pretties. If your home inspires anything short of sheer horror, you must shroud your entrance in darkness: strips of torn plastic to twist in the wind.
Lay a heavy-duty black garbage bag flat on a work surface, open end toward you. With scissors, cut 1 1/2-inch vertical strips from the bottom, stopping a few inches from the top. Cut open one side seam, then unfold bag. Use masking tape or tacks to hang. Then, with hands a few inches apart, grasp each strand and pull; stretch strands in several places for a decrepit effect.

Haunted Forest Centerpiece
Haunted Forest Centerpiece
Black licorice, threaded with wire and shaped to make a forest of spindly trees, makes this creative nonedible Halloween table topper. Snip off the ends of six pieces of black licorice and push heavy-gauge wire through the holes of each piece. Holding the pieces together in the middle, bend the ends to form a tree trunk. Bend the opposite ends to form gnarled tree branches and wrap black wire around the center of the pieces to hold it all together. Repeat for each tree. Place each tree atop a chocolate-frosted graham cracker, add a candy-corn fence, and arrange mini artificial pumpkins under the trees to complete the landscape.

Hand in Punch Bowl
Fill a powder-free latex glove with water or cranberry juice and freeze it. Most definitely adds to a creepy factor to your punch.
