These cute little vampires lollipops will make great party favors for your Halloween party -- be sure to make plenty, they'll fly off before you know it.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Red cellophane
Lollipops
Black felt
Twist ties
White address labels
Scissors
Peel and stick wiggle eyes
Pattern

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1.) Using the pattern (click here), cut capes (one for each lollipop) from black felt.

2.) Cut a piece of cellophane into a square, large enough to wrap around the head of the lollipop. (See photo below.)

3.) Loosely wrap the cellophane around the lollipop and place the wrapped lollipop onto the felt cape. (See photo below.)

4.) Wrap twist tie around both at the neck of the lollipop. (See photo below.)

5.) Cut fangs from white address labels and stick to the front of the lollipop. Attach peel and stick wiggle eyes to the front of the lollipop. (See photo below & finished craft piece at top of article.)

Tips:

To add some variety, try using different colors of cellophane such as orange, green, or purple.
Bend the ends of the twist ties to look like bow ties.
Try creepy eye Halloween stickers instead of wiggle eyes.

Fill your windows with pumpkin faces, Halloween shadows and silhouettes with this easy craft for kids.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Computer Paper
Scissors
Tape

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1.) Print this pattern (click here). This pattern has two faces on it. The image is 6" x 10" and should be 'centered on page' when printing.

2.) Cut pattern in half. Cut out eyes, nose and mouth on each face. Trim paper to fit the small windows in your front door. (They can also be placed as is in any window.)

3.) Tape pattern to window. That's it! Enjoy.

Tips:

These faces will make shadow patterns inside your house when the sun is shining, and silhouettes from outside the house at night.
