Samhain/Hallowe’en Parties things to do

For the first half of October I am mainly concentrating on the things we will be sorting for the Hallowe’en side of the 31st. And for the second half of October I’ll be posting a bit more about what we will be doing for our personal Samhain celebrations. The two in my mind at least being very different from each other.

As such here is something about one of the props we are going to be using; Wizard/Witches Brew.

It’s very simple for all to do though if very Littleuns are helping watch out for splash back as the vinegar can irritate eyes.
You will need:
A clean glass jar/bottle
Clear (distilled) vinegar
Food dyes
Glitter
Washing up liquid
Bicarbonate of soda

Half fill the jar/bottle with the clear vinegar. Add several drops of food dye, then sprinkle a little of the glitter over the top of the vinegar.
Add a good squeeze of washing up liquid to the mix. Gently stir with a metal spoon.
Put the jar/bottle onto a tray (which can be disguised as something else) and then add a heaped teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the jar. Stand back slightly!

Hallowe’en Decorations, part two…

Well I bypassed the gravestones for now as I had a sudden flash of inspiration on what to do in our rather small porch area; the Witch’s study. I’ve a small table that’ll fit on the left and I’m going to make that her work desk, with a small old bookcase full of potions, spell books and the odd experiment or two. Here are some photos of the ones I’ve made so far. Got to say a big thank you to http://davelowe.blogspot.com/ and http://lovemanor.com/blog/, without these two great blogs I had a lot of trouble getting my ideas out of my head and into reality. Both have lots of hints and labels they don’t mind you copying if like me you’re not that clued up on using the art parts of computer programmes. Anyhow, let me know what you think of these…

Witches Goblet;


Eyeballs anyone?
