Host a wickedly fun party with
our easy ideas.
Invitation: Using orange fun foam (available at
discount stores in the crafts department), cut a pumpkin shape.
(A cookie cutter works well to trace around.) Make dotted lines
using a permanent pen indicating the eyes, nose, and mouth to
be cut out. Put all the party information on the invitation and
send.
Decorating: Carve two pumpkins with simple faces.
Place one carved pumpkin atop the other one, stacking the two.
Put a large candle in the top pumpkin, place on a tray surrounded
with autumn leaves and light the candle for the main centerpiece.
- Use uncarved pumpkins in your
favorite decorating spots, adding them to table arrangements,
under picture groupings, and in large bowls. Choose gold, brown,
green, and cranberry-colored candles and other accessories to
complement the orange of the pumpkins. Finish each fall vignette
by adding other autumn finds such as twig wreaths, birch-bark
baskets, and autumn leaves.
- Make welcoming luminarias by
using miniature pumpkins. Cut a hole large enough to hold a votive
candle and holder in the top of the pumpkin. Scoop out as necessary
to set the votive holder in the pumpkin. Place a candle inside
and light.
