Alexis Birthday Party/Halloween themes

This is the finished version of the Bat Mobile I worked on. I used spider web for the cloud.
Alexis wanted a graveyard/dirt cake for her birthday party. I found the headstones at walmart for 1.00 each. The rest of the goodies came from the dollar store. As for the cake? It is just boxed chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and I used halloween oreos (orange filling) and crushed them up to create "dirt".

I never got a close up shot of the "snack-o-lanterns" I made. I got the idea from familyfun.go.com. They are just oranges, hollowed out, carved a face in them and stuffed with fruit cocktail. Then, I shoved spoons through the top for "stems".

My bat Mobile



I printed the templates off of familfun.com. I traced them onto foam sheets then applied glitter to them and strung them onto a wire hanger. Voila.. I actually added spider webbing from the dollar tree to the hanger itself, to create a cloud and added spiders for more halloween effect.
