Halloween - this American holiday has been merrily celebrated in our country for many years. Why not have an interesting costume party at home or go to a friendly party? And then sweet treats for the guests will be simply necessary. Thematically correctly and beautifully pack the hotels is quite easy and interesting. In addition, there is reason to make a lot of homemade sweets.

The color scheme of the package can be any, but, of course, the most interesting thing is to prepare everything in the traditional Halloween colors: orange, black, red, and also to dilute it with gold and white.

Here are some ideas for decorating sweet gifts:

1. A small cast.   We need: caramel on a stick, white cloth or tissue paper-quiet, black paint, cord or tape.

Cut a 13 by 13 cm square fabric, and wrap each candy.

We tie it with a ribbon or cord.

To each ghost we draw a terrible or kind face and a funny treat is ready.

2. Peaks for cupcakes- An interesting decoration for desserts.

Figures can be any: bats, pumpkins, ghosts, scary faces. You can cut them out of paper or felt, by stencil or randomly, folding in half (if the shape is not too complicated).

I cut black felt bat figures. They all turned out different, but, in my opinion, it’s even more interesting.

We string a figure from felt on a toothpick and the peak is ready. If you made figures from paper, then we put a toothpick on glue (for example, at Moment Carpenter or Moment PVC).

3. Tags for gifts.

You will need scrapbook paper of black and orange colors with various patterns. This may be unnecessary trim.

We cut out the rectangles (6 by 8 cm), the size may vary, the main thing is to approximately observe the proportions.

We print holiday inscriptions on a regular printer, cut it out.

We glue or sew labels on the cards.

Black lace, ribbons, buttons or sequins can be sewn onto cards.

We make a hole on the card and insert a grommet suitable for color.

You can trim the corners of the cards - then you get tags.

By inserting a lace or ribbon we get an interesting decoration for bags with caramel. Sachets should also be in color.

On the reverse side, in support of the theme, we glue the bag with the treats nicely. To do this, put black circles on double-sided tape.

I made circles with the help of a figured hole punch.

4. Pack tall cakes or macaroons   possible in special boxes for confectionery.

Using paper in silence, you can pack each box on the principle of gift wrapping, or simply decorate with a wide stripe of bright color.

Then tie the boxes with ribbons, cords, lace or a simple scourge and decorate with various decorative flowers, spiders, pendants, chipboards and tags.

How to make a Halloween gift

Going by invitation to visit, or just for 5 minutes to a neighbor, or to a plague party for Halloween, pack your hotels in an interesting, creative and fun way. There are ideas, templates and instructions on how to make a Halloween gift with your own hands, how to glue a “Halloween” paper bag, how to pack candy for a gift for kids or friends, so that friends are surprised at the creative design, and the children squealed with delight.

Of course, we will not give terrible things such as here:

We will fill wonderful bags with sweet candies, nuts and cookies.

There is hardly a person who does not like gifts or attention. And among children, especially. After all, they always wait for a present from a bunny or a squirrel and hopefully look into their mothers bags when they return from work. And, despite the fact that my mother was neither in the forest, nor in the zoo today, and certainly did not meet a bunny or a little squirrel with candy on her way home, her mother always has something delicious in her bag.

This expectation of a gift or a gift is the sweetest. You must admit that a wrapped present is always more attractive and desirable, even if you seem to know exactly what lies there, but it is still difficult to overcome the desire to expand and see.

Soon we will have a celebration of the worst and, at the same time, the most fun event of the year - All Saints Day or Halloween. You can read more about the occurrence of this holiday in our article “Halloween or All Saints Day: history and traditions”. In the homeland of Halloween - in Ireland, as well as in the USA, where it received great popularity, it is not customary to give gifts. There are no established rules in Russia, so do not miss the opportunity and give your friends and family a pleasant surprise made by your own hands.

Bright pumpkin pillows

Sleep is one of the most pleasant pleasures of life. And after the Sabbath for Halloween, you will definitely need to sleep well. And you can do this most pleasantly on a beautiful pumpkin pillow, which is very easy to create with your own hands.

You will need:

• textiles (cotton, chintz, linen, etc.) of bright color;
• threads
• yarn for knitting;
• synthetic winterizer or other filler;
• special sewing marker or soap;
• roulette;
• scissors;
• long needle with a big eye;
• needle or sewing machine.

First you need to prepare the base bag for a future pillow. Cut a rectangular piece of fabric. It is important that the length is two times the width. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, face inward. Now, with a soap or marker, draw the lines along which the seam will go. Sew a short line tightly, making a strong knot. But at the end of the seam on one of the long sides, do not make a knot. After you finish the seam on this side, pull off the fabric with a dense “accordion”. Now tie the thread to the knot and make a few more stitches so that the seam does not open.

Turn the workpiece to the front side. Now tight! fill the workpiece with padding polyester. Do not spare the filler, otherwise the pillow will turn out very ugly. Even if part of the packing peeps out of the workpiece - it's okay.

Now we need to create a "ball" from our blank. Make a seam on the non-sewn side (long) in the same way as you did with the first long side of the workpiece. At the same time, stuff the padding pad inside the pillow. If it’s hard for you to manage alone, invite an assistant. Do not be afraid to make sloppy stitches and protruding threads - all of them will be hidden under the stalk of the pumpkin.

Now it's time to give our future pillow a beautiful shape. To do this, put a thread for knitting into a long needle. The greater the height of the pillow, the longer the needle will be needed. Turn the pillow over and stick the needle into the center of the pillow - where the fabric is collected. Fasten the thread to the knot inside the pillow. Now pull the thread and pierce the workpiece through. Pull it well, just make sure that the thread does not break. On the reverse side, firmly fasten the thread to the knot, but do not cut it.

Further we will “divide the pumpkin into segments”, so the thread will be visible from the front side. Return to the bottom edge by pulling the thread - it should be impossible to stick your finger under it. Pierce the pillow through again and pull the needle out from above. Do these steps first, dividing the pillow into seven equal segments. At the end, again, firmly fasten the thread to the knot and make a few “control” stitches.

Now it’s the tail of the tail. From the fabric, cut the stalk of the pumpkin, fold it face up and sew on three sides. Turn the workpiece out and stuff it tightly with a synthetic winterizer. After this, sew the remaining side well so that the filler is not visible. Sew the stalk to the pumpkin, trying to make the stitches as deep as possible - so the pumpkin will turn out beautiful and accurate.

That's all, the bright pumpkin pillow is ready!

Case on the mug “Cute spider”

The case for the mug is a very romantic gift and, in addition, very useful. After all, Halloween coincides with Samhain - a holiday that the ancient Celts dedicated to the arrival of winter. And in order to keep tea or coffee hot for a long time in cold weather, let's make such a beautiful “dress” for a cup. Such a gift can be made by anyone who has at least basic knitting skills.

You will need:

• a cup of orange;
• wool yarn in black and orange;
• crochet hook;
• salty dough;
• colors of orange, green, black, white;
• glue gun;
    glue;
• scissors;
• sewing centimeter.

First you need to determine which case needs to be tied. To do this, take a centimeter and measure the diameter of the mug. After that, start knitting. First you need to tie the blank of their black yarn. Based on the size of the mug, draw a diagram for yourself, according to which you will knit. Remember to keep the “connector” for the handle of the cup. The base for the cover is knitted with crochets. Tie the cover over with orange yarn. Do not cut the ponytails of the orange thread on both sides - you can tie a bunch of black threads to them and make such nice strings, on which the cover will be attached. The edges of the black base must be sewn, leaving room for the handle.

And now the most interesting - we will decorate our cover. Jewelry is made from salt dough, which can be prepared according to this recipe:

• 200 g of premium wheat flour;
• 200 g of very finely ground salt;
• 200 ml of water;
• 2 tbsp. tablespoons of glue PVA.

Knead the dough to an elastic state, it should not stick to your hands.

Now you can start sculpting. Make spider, web, pumpkin figurines. One side must be absolutely flat so that the jewelry easily sticks to the case. After that, leave the figures for a week - they should dry well. When our jewelry became solid, it was time to paint it. To do this, it is better to use acrylic paints, but if you do not have such, then gouache is also suitable. When the paint dries, gently stick the figures with the flat side on the cover using a glue gun.

Everything, a cup can be worn and given.

Bookmarks for the book "Funny Spiders"

Book lovers can give an original and useful thing - a bookmark. It is done very simply. All that is required of you is to be able to knit a little.

You will need:

• yarn for knitting;
• suitable hook;
• 2 beads;
• threads
• needle;
• scissors.

You can choose both cotton and woolen yarn. If you want to make the spider more terrifying, then give preference to the latter option. You can either separately connect all the parts of the spider: the head, cobwebs, lace that connects the two previous elements, or tie the bookmark together. After this is done, you need to sew on a spider eye made of beads. Beads choose a color so that they can be clearly seen in the yarn from which the spider is knitted.

Here is such a lovely gift to anyone who loves to read books.

Horrific magnet "Eye of Dracula"

Want to scare your friends a little? Then you hit the nail on the head! Prepare as a gift a terrifying fridge magnet in the shape of the eye of the famous Count Dracula.

You will need:

• dense felt of violet and white flowers;
• thin felt of red, blue and black colors;
• threads under the color of felt;
• magnet;
• regular or hot melt adhesive;
• needle;
• scissors.

First you need to prepare some round shapes, for example, cups of different sizes. With their help, it is necessary to cut out the circles from which the eyes will be made. You can also use a compass - draw and cut circles of the required diameter on thick cardboard and circle them on felt. The circles on the felt of each color should be of different sizes: on violet - the largest, white - a little less than orange, red - a little less than white, blue - a little less than red, black - a little less than blue.

When all the blanks are done, we begin to make the eye of the ominous Dracula. Using red threads, sew the red circle in the center of the white with small stitches. Also embroider a capillary mesh with the same red threads. On a red circle with blue threads we sew a circle of blue color. In the same way, we sew the pupil using black thread. Now we sew all four circles sewn together with the help of white threads to the purple base.

Glue the finished eye to the magnet using ordinary or hot melt adhesive. That's all, a terrible gift is ready!

Mummy bottle

How to give an original wine or any other drink for Halloween? There is an original idea: to make a real mummy out of a bottle!

You will need:

• bottle;
• patch or bandage;
• eyes for toys;
• double sided tape;
• glue gun;
• hot glue.

there is two ways   bottle design in this style: you can use either a band-aid or a bandage.

The first option is simpler. First you need to glue the eyes with double-sided tape. Eyes can be found in any store that sells products for creativity. After that, the bottle is simply wrapped with the most ordinary patch.

The mummy can be made a little differently. As in the first version, glue the eyes first with double-sided tape. After that, grease the bottle with hot glue from the gun and immediately glue the bandage. Try to lay it beautifully the first time, because tearing off the gauze without damaging it will most likely fail. When you make the second layer, the glue must be applied to the first layer of the bandage. Press the gauze firmly against the bottle. Pay special attention to the area around the eyes - here you need to carefully put the bandage on the glue.

If desired, the mummy can be decorated with various themed accessories - orange-black tags, little witch hats, bats made using the origami technique, etc. Connect your imagination here!

Soft pillow toy "Ghost"

Ghost is one of the hallmarks of Halloween. So why not please your loved ones with fun toys that can also be used as pillows. And to make them completely simple.

You will need:

• cotton fabric or white felt;
• synthetic winterizer or other stuff for stuffing;
• paints and brush or thread and needle for embroidery;
• crayon or special marker;
• white threads;
• sewing machine or needle;
• scissors.

First of all, it should be noted that such a pillow-toy can be made in two ways, depending on how you will arrange the face - using paints or embroidery.

The first method (using paints)

1. Draw the “body” of the future ghost on the fabric (you can also use patterns - you can easily find them on the Internet) in the desired size and carefully cut, leaving 0.5-1 cm for the seam.
2. Fold the fabric so that the front side is inside. Sew with white thread using a sewing machine or manually. Leave a small area unstitched near the tail for stuffing.
3. Turn the workpiece out and iron it well, paying particular attention to the edges.
4. Now fill the ghost with filler. At the same time, do not spare the synthetic winterizer, otherwise the toy will look thin and ugly.
5. Gently stitch the padding area with a hidden seam.
6. Now draw a ghost face and decorations. As the latter, you can use various Halloween characters - pumpkins, mice, cats, etc.
7. Use paints and brushes to color the painted elements.

When the paints dry, the pillow-toy can be beautifully packaged and presented.

The second method (using embroidery)

If you don’t have the opportunity to wait until the paints dry, and you like to embroider, then the second method is suitable for you.

1. Follow steps # 1 and # 6 described in the first method.
2. Now embroider the drawn elements with floss thread. Choose the method of embroidery to your taste - you can embroider it with a stitch or a cross (you can even beads).
3. Take steps No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5.

Everything, our gift is ready! Now you can scare your friends and acquaintances with such an original pillow toy.

Spider Candlestick

Dip the sponge in yellow paint and paint the jar on top by about a third. After that, also use orange paint to paint the middle of the container. Paint the bottom brown. Paint should be applied one after another, without waiting until the previous layer dries.

Now wait for the jar to dry thoroughly. This usually takes about 12 hours.

Take the golden marker and draw a cobweb on top. When the jar dries out a little again, draw a spider on the web with a black marker with the effect of creating beads. Leave the jar for another day.

Thanks to the techniques described above, the spider looks very realistic and mysterious in the colors of yellow light.

It’s even easier to make the jar shown on the right in the picture. Instead of paints, it should be decorated with paper cuttings. And to do this is not difficult at all.

Predictive Sweet Nuts

Fortune telling is a must for Halloween. People always want to know their fate, so giving a pleasant prediction, you will definitely please your loved ones.

You will need:

• walnuts;
• small sweets;
• yellow / orange and black paint;
• brush;
• curly scissors;
• beautiful paper;
• a pen;
• glue gun;
• hot glue;
• braid / cord.

Halloween is one of the most beloved traditional entertainments in Europe. The scale of preparation for it is second only to the Christmas commotion. Already five years, or even ten, as this unusual autumn holiday reached the Russian cities. On the last night of October, nightclubs and bars hold theme parties with appropriate decorations, urging their guests to dress up in frightening costumes of vampires, ghosts, nurses in bloody robes and come off to the fullest.

Pupils in rubber masks scare each other, jumping around the corners, adults try to surprise their friends with unusual gifts, surprises, which can easily be purchased in gift shops on the eve of the holiday. However, those who prefer real creativity will always prefer fresh rubber pumpkins and other factory stampings, something completely original, which means they are made with their own hands.

Awesome Halloween Gift Idea

A cute box simulating a coffin with a pleasant surprise inside will delight anyone who has already managed to give heart to this European holiday. The first thing you need to craft is the box itself - it is she who will set the right tone for the gift.

In order to start, you need:

  Decorative black, red or orange paper
  Cardboard
  Glue stick
  Stapler
  Ruler
Scissors
  Paper clips
  Template paper and simple pencil
  Color printer to create parts

Instructions for creating a decorative coffin

The cardboard reserved for the creation of the box must be glued with paper. So that the coffin comes out black, and inside, for example, red or orange. All three of these colors belong to the attributes of Halloween.

Using a ruler and a pencil, you need to sketch a template for the lid and bottom of the box and transfer them to dried cardboard. In no case should we forget about the allowances that will give volume to the future coffin. They are usually dashed. The bending lines are most conveniently treated with a ruler, and then glue the allowances between the cuts.

When you get a voluminous box, it still needs to be dried. For reliability, the bonding places of cardboard can be fixed with paper clips. While the coffin is drying, it's time to do what will be inside.

Do not want to stick in the original packaging smelling Chinese rubber souvenir from the nearest shop? And it is not necessary! It is possible, for example, to cook cranberry tincture with aromatic spices completely independently and at home and pour it into individual small bottles. Here is another reason to shine with its originality in design.

A simple recipe for making tinctures

For 200 grams of vodka you will need: a third glass of cranberries (suitable and frozen), two cloves (not to be confused with flowers!), Half a nutmeg, a third of a teaspoon of coriander, a third of a vanilla stick, two peas of allspice. Sprinkle spices and cranberries in a jar and pour vodka for three days, then simply strain thoroughly and pour into bottles.

“Native” labels from bottles are best removed and printed on a color printer with their comic Halloween names - “blood of the innocent”, “werewolf poison” and so on.

And if the gift is prepared for a person under the age of 21, then the decorative coffin can be filled with delicious chocolate candies, after replacing their wrappers with black paper.

The gift is ready, and now it remains only to enjoy the happy reaction of friends and a perfectly set mood for Halloween.
