Remember when we were talking about going green this Halloween?
Homemade costumes, healthy and seasonal treats, and a focus on people rather than things are just some of the means by which the goal can be met. And if you're seriously considering any of them, you should definitely check out Make magazine's DIY Halloween extravaganza: the utterly unique and homegrown costume ideas, tricked out pumpkins and seriously scary food hacks are sure to inspire you, and possibly your kids, if they're not the sensitive types (my own kid would just about keel over in fright with one look at that rat cake).
If the spirit moves you, and you find yourself with the desire and drive to enter your own Halloween creations in the Make and Craft Halloween Contest... well, then that's what you should do. Because winning prizes for making cool stuff is awesome.
Check for Halloween how-tos from Make all this month! I will be.
