IF the price of shop-bought Halloween decorations gives you a fright, it’s easy to create some home-made horrors. With the kids off school, get stuck into creepy crafts and make a haunted house

That’s according to SWLA art teacher Jessica Broussard, who showed us how to make Halloween decorations from things that can easily be found in an everyday kitchen.

Need an easy, last-minute Halloween costume? Opt for the "6-7" trend. Just cut out a big "6" and "7" from cardboard and adhere to the chest or back.

Of all the quick, DIY costumes, this one is far and away the simplest, not to mention the most popular. All you need to dress up as a cat this Halloween is an eyeliner pencil and a bit of handy work and, violà — you've got the purr-fect costume.

First things first, you need a sharp knife to cut the bottom of the pumpkin off, as this will make it easier to carve later, as it's now a flat surface. You can also take the top off too if you want, and make sure to keep this to the side for later.

Here, you'll find the best Halloween desserts that put the "treat" in "trick-or-treat." These easy recipes include spooky cookies, cupcakes, and other treats.

Whether it’s the trick-or-treat haul or the backup stash for Halloween night, there’s usually a little extra hanging around. A lot of families fall into Halloween traditions around Halloween candy.
