You’ll hands will get a bit messy, but you won’t mind after seeing the result! Check-out the Youtube tutorial of Gilian Bower, it’s really easy!

 

2. Milk Jug faces

You only need some empty milk jugs and a black marker. Paint on the different faces and put a small light (be careful when using a candle, the milk jug can melt!) in the jug. Easy does it!

 

3. Spiderweb with giant spider

Really easy, try to find some black cups and the lovely wiggly eyes. Stick ‘m up and that’s it! Your guests will definitely enjoy their scary drinks served in these cups!

7. Trash Bag Bats

Cheap and really quick! Check out these black trash bag bats. You’ll probably have some trash bags at home, you can paint on the eyes with white paint, but you might have some tipp-ex laying around, you can also use that to paint on the eyes!
