Monday
This week is all about Tricks and Treats! So expect candy crafts and makes. Kick-starting the week we're going to be making homemade peanut butter cups!
One of the most popular Halloween candies in America and so it's only right the week is started by making them ourselves. They're easy to make and only take around 15 minutes.
Find out how to make your very own cups right here.

Tuesday
Todays make is this really sweet Jack'o Lantern Trick or Treat bag. It will take a little time to make but it's 100% worth it!
You'll be able to use this year after year too so you won't need to worry about finding another bag each Halloween. Plus why not use this for some light shopping too? Just because it's intended use is a treat bag, does not mean you can't take it out to get groceries.
Find out all the details you need to make your own bag and get stitching right here.

Wednesday
Todays make is super easy, super quick and super fun (also super spooky). These Lolly Pop ghosts can be made with things around the house and would be a great little hide and go treat game for the kids.
All you really need is some paper/cloth, lollies and ribbon. Find out all the details on how to make these quick treats right here.

Thursday
Continuing with yesterdays ghost theme, today it's less of a make and more of a dress up. Now this one you might want to pin until Halloween or if you're in a decorating mood get dressing up now.
All you really need for this is some white fabric, mini treat buckets and dolls. You can either buy a few cheap dolls or if you have them in your home then you're pretty much all set. Just drape a circle of white fabric over each doll with black eyes drawn onto the fabric and attach a treat bucket to each hand. Easy!
They make great little trick or treater decorations for your porch or just give your doll a spooky make over. This idea comes from Good Morning America and can be found here.

Friday
It's nearly the end of the week and today we're going to be doing a little up-cycling. Using old tin cans, paint, tape and card you can make your own tin treat buckets. Use them for trick or treating or just as cute little storage pots.
You can find a template for the wings and all the details right here. Why not create your own designs too and create a whole collection of spooky tin buckets that will also help the planet by reducing waste?

 | Saturday Saturday is movie night this week and once again you've got two films to choose from. The first is the hugely popular and now cult classic film Trick'r Treat! Released in 2007, Trick'r Treat was actually only shown at a small number of screens and didn't have a wide release. Over the years the film has grown in popularity with |  |
a sequel officially announced in 2016 (although nothing has happened since it's announcement). The film is an anthology film that follows four different stories on Halloween night that are all linked together in one way or another. Definitely not one for the kids but definitely worth a watch.
Your second film for today is the highly enjoyable Monster House. The film focuses on three kids who discover their neighbours house isn't just haunted but actually a living breathing monster. The film is a lot of fun and worth a watch every October!
