"Talk about a way to recycle those empty milk and water jugs for a super craft idea this one is a great way to light up your walkway or porch for halloween and all you do is make the face,cut out hole in back and put string of lights. I would even maybe try those fake candles that flicker. I love this idea."

"Is your girls or granddaughter into princesses then you have got to see this Cindrella Pumpkin coach to make instead of the same pumpkins that you make every year. You can use your own imagination on decorating it. I love the way the coach is put together and then you can create your own secerino on decorating. Why not make a mini one for a fairy garden too."
