The end of Summer is creeping closer and closer and the spookiest time of the year is just around the corner. With Covid-19 this years plans for Halloween might not be what you're used to but for those of you who are worried about what to do for the spookiest night of the year, fear not! As Roxanne Rhoads has released a brand new book bursting with so many tricks and treats for you to sink your teeth into and make sure this years Halloween is the spookiest one yet. Covid be damned!
Pumpkins and Party Themes contains 10 different spooky themes and each one includes five different DIY Makes.

To kick start your creativity and to also create a spooky mood for making, Rhoads begins the book with a brief history of Pumpkins, Jack-O'Lanterns and the legend of Stingy Jack (which if you have never heard of him before, where have you been?). There are also carving tips for real and artificial pumpkins, what tools to use and handy tips on how to carve the perfect image into your Jack-O'Lantern. The Roasted Pumpkin Seeds recipe is a great snack to create before making everything too, as you can munch away while you're creating your party theme.
An Alice in Wonderland inspired theme, Steampunk theme, Gothic Elegance theme and even a Witchy theme (which is my personal favourite) are all included within this book. Each section is broken down into five makes, with additional ideas and even a colour palette for you to work from to create even more makes that fit the theme perfectly. If you're stuck for costumes, well you're in luck as those are covered too.
With Pumpkins and Party Themes, not only does it include a full breakdown on how to make everything but each make is fully illustrated with additional decorating ideas showcased within the images. This was actually a great way to spark new ideas for even more makes to add to your chosen theme.
