The Witches Haunt
Create magic around your doorway with this easy door craft.
Supplies
• metallic thread and rope (optional)
• vines or branches
• string of mini-lights
• 1 strip of heavy cloth (burlap works well) long enough to frame the door
• decorative ribbons in coordinating colours
• leaves and dried cornstalks
How-to
Working on the ground, wind metallic thread around vines to create a garland long enough to frame the door. Check that the string of lights is in working order, then lay it down on top of the vines. Wind cloth and ribbon around both the lights and the vines. Wind more metallic thread or the rope around vines, lights, cloth and ribbon. Fasten the garland to the door frame. Stick on the leaves and tie dried cornstalks onto the garland with ribbon.

Ghosts in the trees, the bushes – everywhere!
Supplies
• white lightweight cotton fabric
• wire mesh
• doll eyes or black pencil
• spray glue and scissors
• nylon thread
Cut out squares measuring at least 46 cm (18 in) from both the fabric and the mesh. Coat 1 mesh square with glue and cover it with 1 fabric square. Make a fist and form the phantom's head and the folds of his garment around it. Glue the eyes on or draw them on with pencil. Repeat with the rest of the squares. Hang the phantoms using the nylon thread.
