Witch Halloween Party Inspiration

This year we are not going to be holding a Halloween party, but if we were this is the theme I would have used!!  I came across so many of these ideas online that I thought I would share in case someone else is needing a little "inspiration"!!
 
What started the whole "witch theme" was this cupcake from Foodnetwork.com!!
 

 
I would have had this "cupcake" recreated into a cake with witch legs sticking out of the bottom!!  It's  just too cute!!
 
You would need one of these cute wreaths on your front door!  The blog that is linked to this photo "no longer exists"...but this would be super easy to make.  Just buy a yard or two of black tulle and cut it into kind of small strips, and then get an orange ribbon to attach it.
 
 
 
 
 
I also saw this cute idea on how to decorate your windows for Halloween from MarthaStewart.com
 
 
 
 
 
Decorate your front porch with these Cauldrons found at Wal Mart and then pool noodles from the Dollar Store!!  Just buy some cheap stockings to top them off!!
 
 
 
Or you could also put a few of these on the porch!!  Super cute black cat pumpkins!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Add in a few glittery witch hats on your tables for centerpieces!!
 
 
 
A few bats here and there would be super cute!!
 
 
 
 
This is one of the cutest ideas I've ever seen for serving Halloween Candy!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 These "eyeball" cake balls served on a fork are PERFECT for Halloween fun!!
 
 
 
 
These would make some of the cutest party treats EVER!! Take a bag of cotton candy and then add in a plastic spider for a creepy effect!!

 
More cute treat ideas!!
 
Marshmallow Ghosts!!
 
 
 

 Top everything off with some free printable drink labels from the Hostess with the Mostess
 
 
 
More Free Printable Halloween Drink Labels
 
 
 
 
The cutest drinking straws EVER!!
 
 
 
 
Hope this gives you a little inspiration to get your party started!!  Please leave me a comment and let me know if you plan on using any of these ideas!!  I love it when my followers share their party ideas as well!!

HALLOWEEN GAME DIY

I saw this game on Pinterest and thought it would fit in perfectly to our Charlie Brown Party this weekend!!  It's so simple :)


I went to Wal Mart and searched for some fabric in their "discount bin"

I found some light brown ticking that had been marked down to $2.98 for 3/4's of a yard!!

While I have some thread and needles at home, I went ahead and bought some orange thread and some new needles. 



I cut out six equal squares ( as equal as I could....I still ended up trimming some off the sides once I had them stitched together)




I believe these are called "whip stitches".  Start the stitches on the top right....stitch down to the bottom and up the left side.  Make a knot. 

Turn it inside out.  Poke the corners out with your fingers to make the bags square up.  Fill with your choice of beans or rice or whatever.  I used pinto beans in mine. :)

Fold the top sides inward and stitch shut. 


What my finished bean bag looks like.  I still have two more left to do, and I will paint a pumpkin on one and a Snoopy on the other.  My 5 year old grandson has already found this and has been throwing it all around the house.  He thinks it's AWESOME!!
I haven't bought the bucket yet, it was $2 at Wal Mart, and I am pretty sure I can go to the Dollar Tree and find one for $1 to make this game even cheaper!!
