How To Make A Paper Mache Skull: You will need to buy a $25 resin skull for this project, but the good news is that it can be used over and over again to crank out paper mache skulls. These turn out really well and this is a good tool in your Halloween arsenal to save $$$ if you need a few skulls. Details found at SpookyBlue.com.

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. When you set the bags out, be sure they are completely open to prevent them from burning. Also position them along the walkway where they will not be knocked over by children in long costumes, tails, etc. Project details at HGTV.com.
