Well, I'm a Horror Queen, so naturally Halloween is my Christmas. Family get togethers, dressing up, giving gifts, decorating the house, I LOVE IT! But it can all get very costly. Most of my Halloween decorating and costuming is DIY (even down to the foods I serve, no store bought orange and brown cupcake brains for this zombie).
So far, I know I'll be recreating my home made blood that I made a few years ago. I was just playing around with things in the kitchen to give it the right consistency and color, so I never wrote the recipe down for it. It was completely edible and tasted like chocolate. As it dried it turned a little bit darker and got kind of crusty like real dried blood, so it was really fun. I'll also be making some kind of cute dress from cheap fabric then tearing it strategically and pouring blood (and maybe some dirt) on it because, as aways, I will be a zombie. I've been working on my zombie make up every chance I get, trying out different styles for the big day. I've learned some great methods for making fake body parts (yay realistic intestines!) that I can gnaw on while I wait for fresh meat to arrive at my doorstep =P
What fun crafts, costumes, and candies do you guys have planned?
And just for fun:
