How to Welcome Your Trick or Treaters

Happy Halloween!!! 

*Directions to make this witch wreath below.

1)  Candy treats are great, but you can also think outside the box with some healthier
     alternatives.  Drink box, Fruit Snacks, pretzels, or dollars store party favors are also
     big with the children!
2)  Light the path to your door.
3)  Remove tripping hazards like electrical cords and the garden hoses.
4)  Do not invite the children into your house.
5)  Have your treats in a shatter proof container near your door.
6)  Secure your pets to make sure they do not come in contact with trick or treaters.
7)  "Neighborhood Watch" groups through Facebook have been an excellent way to keep
      a neighborhood informed.  To get your group off to a quick start place notes in the
      Halloween bags with the name of your neighborhood group and invite their parents
      to join.

Do you have an old birdcage stored away?  Add a creepy crow, batty bat, or a spooky spider...

The witch is in!!!

Add lighting to any dollhouse with battery operated candles!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

* To make the "Witch Wreath" I used mesh ribbon in three layers, each a different color that I wove on to a wire wreath, purchased at a craft store. Next, I found a witch hat and small broom at a dollar store.  Attach them with a glue gun. The feet were found at Hobby Lobby. The fishnet gloves were purchased at a costume store. The hands came with the gloves.  I painted them a flesh tone and added fingernails.  Attach them to the door first with tape then hang the wreath over the arms.
