Cornhusk Flowers

In November, the blossoms of summertime are little more than a distant memory. But you can bring some of their delicate beauty to your fall decorating by fashioning flowers from the husks of dried Indian corn -- a farm-stand staple at this time of year. Inspired by the early American craft tradition of making dolls from cornhusks, our cornhusk flowers -- mimicking cosmos, daisies, and sunflowers -- are both elegant and simple to create.

Zombie Pumpkins

Creating your own googly-eyed monsters has never been easier. Just don't get too close -- these guys look hungry.

Tools and Materials Miniature saw Small pumpkin (For a petrifying pale complexion, look for a white pumpkin) Plastic eyeballs Thumbtack or pin For the eyes, hold saw at an angle and cut 2 cone-shaped holes into the pumpkin. The diameter of the holes should be slightly smaller than the eyeballs' diameter. Print mouth template. Lay template on pumpkin, and poke tack through, all along outline, to transfer design. Cut along that outline with saw, and remove excess flesh. Wedge eyeballs into holes. Thanks Martha Stewart!

Glowing Ghosts

These apparitions may seem friendly at first, but in the darkness their scary side comes out. To summon a ghost, snap one or two green eight-hour light sticks so they glow, and insert them into a white balloon. Inflate the balloon and tie it closed. Use a black marker to draw a wide-eyed visage. Repeat to make more, then affix ghosts to a wall with transparent tape and lower the lights.

Candy Corn Pots-Cute!

I don't know about you, but I love crafts of all kinds. These adorable Candy Corn Pots are so cute and so easy to make. I have come across pots at garage sales so this can be a very cute and inexpensive decoration!!

Tools and Materials Small, new terra-cotta pots Pencil Acrylic paint in yellow, orange, and white Paintbrush Paper Pen

Candy-Corn Pot How-To 1. Tuck handfuls of candy corn into giants of their species. Use a pencil to mark stripes on pots. Brush on acrylic paints between lines to make bands, letting each color dry before moving on to the next. When painting the top stripe, go over the lip of pot and paint inside (so it will look good even as it's emptied).

2. Tuck in a note or scary message.
