| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: fabric, plastic wrap, wood | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Create a faux fire by wrapping a string of red or white
Christmas lights around a few logs. Set a large tub on top and
fill the bottom with loosely crumpled aluminum foil. Lay a strand
of green or white Christmas lights on top of the foil (leave the
end of the cord out of the cauldron so you can plug it in later).
Add a layer of green cellophane, then fill the rest of the
cauldron with Bubble Wrap. |
| 2. |  Make a frame for the witch by duct-taping two 3-foot wooden
dowels or sticks to a stepladder, one at the back in a vertical
position, the other on one side at an angle. |
| 3. |  Tie one end of a 12- by 5-foot piece of black cloth around
the top of the vertical dowel. Then drape the cloth over the
angled dowel and tie it in place about 8 inches from the end. Pin
the front of the cape closed to hide the ladder. |
| 4. | Stuff a witch mask with newspaper and set it on top of the vertical dowel. Tape on a wig and a hat, and fit a glove on the end of the angled dowel. Set the witch in front of her cauldron and tape a long cardboard gift wrap tube or stick in her glove for a stirrer. Stuff crumpled red or orange cellophane between the cauldron and the logs and plug in both strands of lights to complete the spooky scene. |
