I used a white and a clear Pastry Bag, any pastry bag and a large tip will work just fine.

These are some of the fun things you could use to decorate the Brownies Pop Shapes, you can use whatever you have on hand the sky’s the limit!

You might need to cut off the bottom of the Brownie Pops so they will be flat against the cookies. I used a Coconut Pecan Frosting as the glue and Green Chocolate Melting Discs, melt them for 30 seconds in the microwave and then every 10 seconds until melted. Then cover/Dip etc. Brownie Pops and I used yellow decorating eyes.

Layer the vegetables and rice of your choice in plastic Push-Ups. (I found these plastic Push-Up containers at Porters and Walmart, some of them have holes in the bottom so makes sure yours don’t or they will leak.)

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Decorations

20131028-211705.jpg

Halloween Decor from our home. I’ve made or decorated with some recycled things, homemade items and others that I’ve purchased from Dollar Stores or Craft Fairs. I’ve collected decorations and made many decorations over the years. I hope next year I will have more time to post and show you how to make some of these Halloween Decorations.

I hope this inspires you to decorate for Halloween!

This Wood Witch Letters are from the Wood Connection, you can find the letters here.. The witch is different this year, so it is not the exactly the same.

This wreath is made from Coffee Filters that I tea dyed and attached with floral pins to a foam wreath and then I add ring spiders.

I made this Witch Boot from a pattern that I drew and cut it out of some Black Canvas material, I used bells that I hot glued to the boot and a then Hemp for the Shoe Lace. Then I filled it with Fall and Halloween decorations.
