So out of all the ingenius :P things iv made i have to say this is the most awsome of all.

you will need:
  • alluminium paper 
  • tissues
  • string
  • pen



 1. first cut a medium square bit of alluminium foil and a long bit of string. place the string into the middle and scruch up the foil into a ball.



2. put a small hole into the middle of the tissue and thread it threw to cover the ball.

3. now all you have to do is carefully draw some eyes and maybe a mouth on it and then you can hang it up :)

How to make: halloween Bats

soo these dont look that good on these pictures but if you do this properly they will look simply awsome
what you will need: 
  • aluminium foil
  • scisssors
  • black card
  • pen
  • sticky tape.

So cut a mediummsized square of aluminum foil a scrunch it a bit to make a shape like this.
then tie some string on. and scruch up the side into 2 small balls one being bigger then the outher to make the head and body.

Then this is the part i left out but cover it with bits of black paper.


Then fold the card and draw wings and an ear not cutting the folded part cut it out and then stick it on the bat and voila !!!
you have a hanging bat!

halloween bags

So these are paper bags that you can use for many things mainly trick or treating but im going to use them for a game in the forrest the name of it is Feed the Monster all they have to do is throw bits of small paper shaped like sandwiches into the "mouths" of the monster. Oor you can use the mouth bit as handles like these

How to make: halloween candle holders

soo here are some lanterns i make every year to light up the drive way
what you need is:
  • jars
  • crepe paper
  • scissors
  • pencil
  • sticky tape
  • annd tea lights

  1. So firstly wash out the jar and put it in warm water to sok of the label on the outside if there is. Then lay out the crepe paper.  Measure the height of the jar and how long the paper should be then cut it out.






 2. Choose what you would like to draw on like i stayed with the traditional jack o lantern style but you can draw stars and anything be creative then cut it out.


3. Simply stick on the crepe paper with sticky tape and then drop the tealight candel in and put it out side.

Twilight

well this is a book i read like 3 years ago and since i didnt have anything to read today i thought i reread it in a Halloween spirit and see if its as good as it was the first time. and i have to say it is. iv already read 200 pages and havnt watched any t.v. and i have to say it is because this book is simply ingenious. the plotline isnt even that good, just  simple girl meets boy story. Except you can seriously relate to the characters (well girls can) and it pulls you in. Bella is a shy, clumsy girl who cant really fit in anywhere and baisically everyone expericed this at least once . and the whole thing where your not supposed to like someone cus they probably dont like you or for other reasons it s all a typicall highschool scene anyone can imagine them selves in and then it drops into the best part ever what every girls thought from the age of 1. prince charming rides in on a white horse. Edward Cullen, has the looks and the things and personalities people would fall for, funny, mysterious,extremly good looking. And that is why it has been such a success as this book baisically describes everyones (well most peoples) dream life
well i think you could leave the vampire stuff out i mean why become a vampire when you could choose a werewolf? who lives just as long but can decide to die if youv had enough and you can always be human? ok iv gone of the subject and the last book dos get a bit weird with the whole Jackob falls in love with Bellas daughter like wtf ?! theres like a 20 year year gap .... weird
anyway i still loovvvveeeee the books (the films i have to say arnt that good but thats my opinion)
and im goingggg to keeep on reaaaaddddiiiinnnnng :D

Halloween party games (traditional )

OK the most traditional haloween gmes are Apple bobbing and doughnut eating.

Apple Bobbing

So for this game (if you dont know it) all you need is a large bowl full of water and apples.
Also a hair tie is usefull . The aim of the game is to fish out an apple bye dunking your face in the water and catching it with your mouth and then lifting it out. Your not aloud to use your hands.
you could make a competition out of who manages to do it the quickestl.
WARNING : you may drown if you  dont come up for air so please come up for air
Hanging Dounuts 

k for this game you need dohnuts per person. Tie a string to each dohnut the tie the dohuts opn to a line.
each person has to stan d infront of their dohnut with their hands behiOnd there back. (to make it harder you can also be blindfolded) the first person to eat their dohnut wins!!




How to organise : a halloween party

This is for everyone who gets stuck on organising.
1. Find a date which is good for you and otheres (preferably when theres trick or treating going on in your neighborhood)

Ambition is the murderer of success

 This is a quote from Barney stinton who is LEGEND wait for it DAIRY !! ok if you dont understand this let me explain he is a character from a sitcom called How i Met your Mother and it is AWSOME  anyway he usually makes up these random qoutes and rules but this is one that i have to agree with as its the most reflective of my life at the moment i have too big an ambition at the moment i have put out these goals that i should achieve but instead of achieving them im getting worse and worse i cant even get my average achievments anymore so i have given up becuase ambition kills success so i have lowered my ambition to a minimum and my success at things is going up again . so thank you Barney for making me realise :P sorry this is really random but ya know its the title of the blog XD


 also heres a song cus it is simply fantastic and i cant get it out of my head

Adele- some one like you

  • Black or white wool

Doctor whoooooo ?

I know i said i would only post halloween stuff and i will I PROMISE i will post more .. later...
but till then i have to tell you about something else
Doctor Who  its the ongest running british t.v series and its sci-fi but all non sci-fi lovers love it too . its about a time travelling timelord called the doctor. Hes time machince is disguised as a blue police box (there is an episode where you find out why) he usually has a girl companion (at the moment its a couple called Amy pond and Rory williamson) an episode is usually about them going to a different world or a different time period usually something goes wrong (mostly because of wrong doing aliens) but the doctor saves the day! the best part in this series it never has to end since whenever the doctors in really big trouble he can regenerate and he'll look completly different making it a whole lot interesting but thats all from me the rest will be explainde by theese guys

tourné agouche au ádroite ?

so i have just realised that i have messed up my french test which is really anoying... mostly cus the test wasnt really clear we had to fill in sentances about our school and which way to go and the whole thing really depended on which way your facing so i thought you face the  other way and i turned left and started writting down all the stuff on the side of the primary school instead of the senior school which means i messed up 3/4 of my test and this was the test i wanted to prove to my teacher that i DO study and that i am NOT an idiot just simply tired by the time we get to french lessons so for now ...

aurevoir (i hope i spelt it right :P)

THeres a HAND in the PUNCH !(for the halloween party)

This is a Pretty cool drink. You can do this with anykind of drink as long as its red. I mixed a Lemon drink like Sprite with redcurrent.
1.You need Rubber gloves turn it inside out cus they have that powdery stuff in the inside(please dont use an old used rubber glove)

2.fill it with water the tie a not on the end so it dosnt spillout .

3.then place it in the freezer for a few days (till the party).

4.on the day of the party make the drink in a big bowl then take the rubber glove of and you will have an icscube shaped like a hand floating in a drink that looks like blood.

It was a really big hit and every one loved the idea :)the pictures arent that good.
The fingersss

and the hand (it looks better in real life)

How to make : halloween paper chains

So if you dont feel like buying paper chains and things to decorate your room but feel a bit more creative heres some stuff you could do :

What you will need:
  • Coloured or white paper
  • scissors
  • Sellotape or pritstick
  • pencil and coloured pens





2.

1.
1. Decide how high you whant to make thethings e.g i made a ghost chain and i folded anA4 paper lenght wise . then cus it in 2. then decide on the width. then fold the paper in a fan fold ( fold,turn over,fold,turn over....) 

2. Draw the thing you want on it but the designed has to touch the sides of the paper other wise the design wont work when you unfold it.

3. cut the shape out but becarefull do not cut the sides or it may fall apart. then draw faces or decorate it. if you whant to make the chain longer repeat steps 1 to 3 .

4. when youv made more stick them together with glue .

5. if you want to hang it up you could make hangers for them by looping string then sticking it on the side.

 you dont have to make a ghost you could also make skulls or cats or pumpkins or anything else....
