Skeleton Luminarias: The skeleton forms on the bags are printed by an easy process. If younger children are helping, simpler images such as a bat or cat can be tried.

Spider Web Balloons: Balloons filled with ’spider webs’ that make quite a spooky effect. You’ll need access to some helium, and ideally a substance like hi-float which will allow for the heaviness of the balloon’s contents. But once you’ve collected these together, this is a really quick and easy project. Found at CraftyCrafty.tv.
