CRAFT:

The Biggest DIY Halloween Contest on the Web!

We teamed up with our pals from Instructables for what is the biggest Halloween contest on the web. In honor of the best DIY holiday ever, we're having a party -- and everyone's invited! Elaborate costumes for the whole family, gadgets that go zzzZAP!, gross-looking foods, creepy decorations that turn your house into a forbidding castle, and spooky jack-o-lanterns guarding your front door: these are the things we look forward to all year.

We want to see what delightfully frightful items you've made and we have dozens of awesome prizes to give away! You can enter an Instructable, photos, or video -- just make it amazing and it will be eligible to win in one of our categories: Hack-o-Lantern, Costume, Gadgets and Gizmos, Decorations, Food, and Green, or our Photo and Video categories!

Halloween Costumes for Kids

Make a pirate, bee, monkey, lego, or sushi costume with our quick-and-easy Halloween costumes for kids. Most of these costumes you can make without any sewing! You'll also be able to use recycled materials or craft supplies you already have around the house. These costumes were featured on the CBS Early Show a few days before Halloween last year. Now you'll have plenty of time to get started on them!

Halloween Fantasy Mask Tutorial

With a simple scrap of old denim as your base, you can make this enchantingly haunting mask by crafter Nancy Minsky. The contrast of rugged denim with fantasy trims and hand-stitches gives it a stylish mystique and allure all your own.
