Monday
There are only 6 more Seven Spooky Things to go and we're starting the 6th remaining week with these Monster Strawberry Cupcakes.
Here in the UK for the past two years, monster plants have been a big thing at Halloween. Quite a few people go crazy for them in Homesense and TK Maxx and so here we have edible Audreys.
These are really easy to make and look so good (and tasty).
Find out all the details on how to whip up a batch right here.

Tuesday
We're adding a gothic touch to your home today with these DIY Blood Candles. They're made using cardboard tubes, battery tealight candles, a glue gun and paint and they really do look great.
These would look perfect dotted around your home this halloween or add some clear fishing wire and suspend them from the ceiling for an easy floating candle effect (Harry Potter Great Hall anyone?).
Check out all the details and more pics of these wonderful candles right here.

Thursday
Thursday this week is movie night and tonights film will also coincide with tomorrows make. This week we're watching The Addams Family Values. A brilliant classic film released in 1993 and considered one of the best Addams Family films to date.
1993 was also the year for The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus, so that year definitely was one hell of a spooky one. The film follows the Addams Family and their quest to return their Uncle Fester to the family home and save him from gold-digger Debbie. If you have never seen it before then you're in for a real treat!

Friday
Continuing with yesterdays movie, today we're going to be the Addams Families own cousin It! Right now is the perfect time to get everything together to make this too as is requires chicken wire (which might be on sale as Summer begins to end), wire and Hula skirts.
You'll of course need a hat and glasses but these you should easily be able to get your hands on too. If chicken wire isn't for you though, why not substitute it for a tomato cage instead?
You can read all the steps on how to make your own Cousin It right here.

Saturday
This make is another easy one and you can make these anyway you like. The possibilities are endless with how you want these to look but something we can all agree on is that they look great!
These DIY spell books require mainly books, a glue gun and paints. Which you most likely will already have at home.
The tutorial does require you to use old books to make these but if like me that stresses you out a little (you can't deface books, they're books!) then why not use the book storage boxes to make these instead? Find out all of the details on how to make your own spooky spell books right here.

Sunday
The final make for this week isn't exactly a make you could get made today but it's one you can easily get together to make for Halloween.
This Candy Corn Pom Pom Wreath looks so cute and would look amazing hanging on any door. This is another low cost make that you can easily buy everything for from stores like Hobby Craft and potentially The Works.
