apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Simple is the best route, and while these tips may involve few steps the impact is great.

• For party invitations, WS suggests making having kids trace cookie cutters on orange construction papers and then writing information with glitter pens.
• For decoration, orange and black paper chains will do the trick.
• The table setting can feature jack o’lantern paper plates made from black and orange plates.

As for the food, WS recommends Halloween sugar cookies, popcorn balls and ants on a log. There is even a caramel apple video tutorial on the site as well as recipes for the aforementioned caramel apples, popcorn ghosts, and Blood-Red Punch.
