Mad Monster Party Decor: Halloween Decorations To Suit the Savage SoulHow about some shrunken heads adorning your tabletop? Or perhaps you could "serve" a severed hand? Our mad monster party decor is perfect for your monster party Halloween theme, especially with body parts scattered everywhere. Of course, we mustn't forget to have a "work in progress" stuck away in some "laboratory"! For children's parties, be sure to tone down or skip some of the decorating ideas found below.
Shrunken HeadsMaterials:
Peel the apples and remove the stem. Carve a face into the apple (it doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to resemble a face). Let the apples dry for several days. Place on the table or hang around the house. Severed HandsMaterials Needed:
1. Cut 4 wire pieces the length of the glove and one measuring the length of the thumb to the wrist. Wrap batting around the wire. 2. Insert each covered wired into a finger of the glove. Stuff with additional fiberfill if needed to fill out the finger. Twist the wires together where they meet. Stuff the palm of the hand with additional fiberfill until filled out to look like a hand. Bend the fingers into whatever shape you desire. 3. Spray-paint the gloves with green paint. Add some spots and veins with the gray and brown paints. 4. Glue the nails onto the ends of the fingers. Place on tables or creeping over the backs of chairs. For an extra fright, place on a plate on the food table and cover with a solid round lid. You might want to add some fake drops of blood to the fingertips too! Creepy BathroomMaterials Needed:
Instructions: 1. Fill the bathtub partially full with water. Add red food coloring. 2. Put a bunch of plastic eyeballs or other body parts floating in the water. 3. Put some ketchup on the plastic knife and lay it near the bathtub. Dip your hands in the ketchup and make some "handprints" on the tiles and bathroom fixtures (bathtub, toilet, and sink). (NOTE: DO NOT USE FAKE BLOOD AS THIS WILL STAIN. Also, only use the ketchup on the enameled surfaces…do not use it on painted walls as it will stain the walls.) 4. Right a message on the mirror with the red lipstick.
Monster CreationMaterials Needed:
1. Use a small room if you have one. Attach a 2 foot length of rope to each end of the dowel. Secure the rope to the ceiling or wall with thumb tacks or nails, 2 feet in front of the table. 2. Drape 1 or 2 lightweight white sheets over the dowel so they hang near the floor. This is your "operating room" screen. (Like the curtains that hang around a hospital bed.) 3. Cover the table with the tablecloth so that it hangs down in front. Stuff the clothes with newspapers and layout the "body" on the table. Stuff the mask with newspapers and set in place (Hint: for added effect, place a battery operated LED bicycle light inside the mask to make the eyes glow red.) 4. Stuff the gloves and secure into place with safety pins. Place shoes at feet. 5. Scatter around the table the "tools" used to build your creation. Put droplets of "blood" on clothes and tools. 6. Fill the jars and containers with the "blood and guts body parts" listed below and put some "inside" the body (like the guts) with the shirt slightly open. Place some around the table. Set up a small second table with the remaining "inside body parts". 7. Set your flexible reading lamp near the head of your creation like an operating room light. Turn off all other lights in the room. 8. Give tours of your creation. Make sure to have a place where your guests can wash their hands afterwards.
Heart Use: poached eggs in chunky salsa or partially filled balloon in semi-set gelatin. Eyeballs Use: peeled grapes or olives or pearl onions. Ears Use: dried peaches/apricots or dried apples or pears. Brains Use: over cooked cauliflower or frozen and then thawed tofu, shaped. Hair Use: corn silk or a wig. Teeth Use: unpopped popcorn or small broken pretzels or pine-nuts. Fingers Use: pieces of chalk or cold wieners or carrots (cut into finger size) or sliced dill pickles or cleaned chicken wing bones (use bones that have been cooked). Guts Use: cold, cooked spaghetti with a touch of oil or canned Heinz Spaghetti Liver Use: canned peach half. Fresh Vomit Use: bottle of salsa or a can of vegetable soup. Cold Hand Use: rubber glove that's been filled with water and frozen. Decayed Flesh Use: dried wonton or egg roll wrappers. Body Fat Use: water and flour mixed together to form a thick paste. Portrait GalleryMaterials Needed:
1. Make frames from cardboard if needed - use brown cardboard for this. Decorate paper frames if desired. 2. Cut out squares of cardboard to make the backing to fit the frames. 3. Cut out pictures of monsters from graphics, posters, magazines, etc. or draw and color your own. Paste or tape the pictures to the cutout backing. (IDEA: Get pictures of rooms and then paste cutouts of the monster "in" the room.) 4. Tape the pictures to the frames. Hang your "portraits" around the house (a hallway is a good place). If desired, make name plates from cardboard to place under the pictures. Other Decorating Ideas
