Halloween Craft

Other than Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday! It’s a day when we can dress up as anything and pretend to be anyone we want. The free food, spooky mazes, and crazy costumes add to the holiday spirit that leaves a Happy Halloween for everybody.

My friend showed me how to make these adorable vampire pumpkins pictured above on the left. They are super easy to make; any age can do it. I brought this home to my family and everyone wanted to make one. I guarantee that you can easily make this; even my five year old sister made one.

I found these detailed instructions on Martha Stewart's Website

Vampire Tools and Materials

-Thumbtack or pin
-Small white or orange pumpkin (For a big bite, choose a small pumpkin so the plastic vampire teeth seem larger)
-Small saw
-Plastic vampire teeth
-Small red or black map tacks
-Mouth template

Vampire Pumpkin How-To

!. Print mouth template. Lay template on pumpkin and poke thumbtack through, all along outline, to transfer design. Cut out with saw; remove excess flesh (twist: don't remove guts but place teeth in and spill pumpkin guts outside the teeth)
2. Wedge teeth into hole (make hole a little bigger vertically so teeth aren't clamped shut)
3. For eyes, pin map tacks onto pumpkin
4. Fangs, http://www.partycity.com/. Map pins, 1/8 inch, red or black; http://www.latitudesmapstore.net/

 Hope you have a Happy Halloween and stay safe!
