Homemade Halloween Favors

• Ghost Lollipops: Drape a white tissue over a round lollipop (like a Tootsie pop or DumDum). Tie a thin orange, black, or purple ribbon at the base of the lollipop to secure the tissue and create the ghost. Use a fine-tip sharpie to draw a face on the ghost. Oriental Trading Company also sells ghost pop craft kits
if you'd rather go that route.
• Pumpkin Lollipops: Cut two three-and-a-half-inch circles out of orange crepe paper and stack them on top of each other. Poke the stick of a round lollipop (Tootsie pop or DumDum) through the center of the crepe paper circles. Pull the papers up around the top of the lollipop and twist to secure. Wrap the twisted top of the paper with green floral tape to seal and create the stem, trimming if necessary.
• Ghostly Goodies: Dip Nutter Butter cookies into melted white chocolate (or candy melts). Use mini chocolate chips or black frosting to create eyes and a mouth on each "ghost." Paint small clay pots black and use a white paint marker to write each child's name on a pot. Glue orange rickrack around the top edge of the pot. Fill the pot with candy corn, and then situate the ghost cookies inside for a fun treat!
• Frightening Fingers: Place a candy corn in the finger tips of clear plastic gloves to resemble fingernails, then cover with popcorn. Tie closed with orange ribbon.

Homemade Halloween Favor Holders

• Paper Plate Spider Goody Holders: Cut a black paper plate in half. Use a paper punch to punch holes evenly around the edges of the plate. Stack the plate halves on top of each other, bottom sides out. Use yarn to stitch the halves together, leaving the cut end open. Glue spider legs, cut out of construction paper or foam, to the back of the plates. Use wiggly eyes, and yarn to create a face. If you'd like, you can buy pre-made kits for spider goody holders from Oriental Trading Company.
• Flyaway Broomsticks: Use two brown lunch bags to create wickedly wonderful favor holders! Unfold and open one bag. Starting at the top of the bag, cut thin strips down each side, just a hair shy of the bottom of the bag. Spread the bag out flat. Open the second bag and place on top of the shredded one. Cut thin strips into the top inch or so of the second bag. Fill with candy or goodies. Stick a twig inside of the bag so that it sticks out like a broom handle. Pull the shreds of the bottom bag up around the inside bag. Tie with a black chenille stem.
• Pumpkin Pouches: Cut two 10" circles from orange tissue paper. Stack the circles on top of each other, and place the treats in the center. Pull the paper up over the goodies, gather and twist. Use green floral tape to secure the tissue and create a stem.
