Halloween Makeup



FACE PAINT: For each color, use 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon cold cream, 1/2 teaspoon water, and 1 to 2 drops food coloring. In a paper cup, mix the cornstarch and cold cream. Add the water and food coloring; stir. Use a paintbrush or cotton swab to apply paint. Remove with soap and water. FACE MAKEUP: In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon flour. Stir in 3/4 cup light corn syrup and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Divide mixture into 4 paper cups; add food coloring to 3 of them. For a makeover, use tissue paper torn lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Paint untinted mixture onto a section of the face. Place strips of tissue paper over it. Cover with more untinted mixture. Continue covering face, one area at a time. For warts, stick puffed wheat cereal to the untinted mixture; cover with tissue paper. When dry, use the color mixtures to paint the face. To remove, wet the face and peel tissue away. Wash with soap and water.

Pumpkin Seed Necklace



THIS YEAR, when you hollow out that Halloween pumpkin, save the seeds to make enchanting and colorful jewelry. Separate the seeds from the pulp and rinse them well in warm water. Spin them in a salad spinner, then spread them out on paper towels to dry completely.
When the seeds are dry, color them with felt-tipped markers, leaving some uncolored if you wish. Make holes near the center of each seed, using an awl and a block of wood. String the seeds with a large-eyed needle and fine elastic, using 125 to 130 seeds for a necklace, far fewer for a matching bracelet. (Measure around your neck or wrist before cutting the elastic, allowing a little extra to tie the finishing knot.)

You can also add some of your own beads to make it more unique.

What a cute necklace and bracelet idea!

I just can't imagine pounding holes in all of those seed. LOL!!

Do you think that you could sew through them with a big needle while they were still kind of wet and then allow them to completely dry?
