Sandra Lee semi-homemade

Stuffed with holiday lights, resin pumpkins cast an eerie glow to the entry. Spook up your pantry with huge black spiderwebs and a recipe box covered  with black and orange fabric, embellished with scrapbooking decals.

Place Settings: Set a wicked table with dishes bearing bats and cats and witches—oh, my!—layered on orange napkins folded across black chargers.

Fashion: Be a diva like Streisand or Liza with a Z. Don a feathered headdress and shimmy like Cher—or pretend you’re a princess of pop like Madonna. I took a turn as all four and had a ball playing dress up—check out those most wicked wigs!

Haute Halloween

Make this killer table illuminate by stacking candle buckets into a pyramid. For accent pieces, glue a piece of crafts foam into the bottom of a bucket. Slide Gummy Worms, Trolli®, soft candies, and Lifesaver® eyeballs onto bent metal skewers and anchor them in the foam. Fill each box with candy to hide the foam.

Haute Halloween

Bundles of candy masquerade as place cards. Center a handful of candy on a sheet of cellophane and tie the cellophane with a black-and-white striped ribbon. Use a cookie cutter to trace a bat shape onto black paper, cut it out, and print the guest’s name in gold. Hole punch the top and thread the ribbon through.
