Matthew Mead's Halloween Spooktacular
This is an excellent resource for the frazzled, the short-on-time, the not-particularly-interested-in-detailed-crafting, and anyone else who wants to DIY decorate for Halloween but finds the idea of haunting daunting.It is full of cute ideas, all family-friendly, all cost-effective, and all easy-to-finish. The projects come with simple, easy-to-follow instructions and pictures.
There are recipes, Jack-o-Lantern ideas and templates, dog costume ideas, and general decor tips.
The one frustration a person could have when trying to re-create some of these works is that Matthew Mead is a designer and he prints, sketches, and draws better than the rest of us so our signs and the henna designs on our pumpkins won't be nearly as impressive.
I would highly recommend this to beginning Halloween crafters, to families that want to throw neat Halloween parties but never are quite sure how, and anyone who collects How To...Halloween books.
