So, Halloween is just a couple days away. If you’re stressing out because you haven’t done a lick of decorating, relax. You can totally do this little project.
(My Mom made the pumpkin pie. I’m eating more of it as I type this, NOM NOM NOM.)

Hello there! I'm Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

That was a scary project! And so entertaining of course.
Thank you, Stephanie! And as a bonus, we now have a cleaned-off dining table. :-)
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
As my 3 yr old granddaughter would say: “OOoohh I’m scary!” :) Fun and spooky!

LOVE THIS!!!! Shamefully… I haven’t bought my candy yet. I’m heading out now, and If I can find click lights these are totally going under the porch on Halloween with our other spooky eye lights.
Wait… YOU haven’t bought candy yet? The author of Mega•Spooky? Wow.
You are a crafty genius. It had to be said.
Heh heh! I know, right? I’ve never managed to find a good use for them as lights!
I love ideas for easy-cheesy projects, Diane, thank you! It seems I’m always picking up different shapes and sizes of those little lights, but now you’ve got me thinking outside the box, cool. BTW, I always get a kick out of your adorable “audience”!
love it, love it, love it
Ok – this is the most awesome Halloween craft ever! Just think of all the places these can be hidden – not to mention hanging them in a dark window – lots of them! Or using more of that fabulous duck tape to attach them to the BACK of Halloween costumes- scarey coming and going! A mini sandwich board for a cat or dog! Ha! You see what I mean! Brilliant!
Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a fun time. Looking forward to working with you again.

Awesome! We are in a new house and looking forward to all the ghosts and goblins ringing our doorbell! This neighborhood goes all out with decorations and I needed something special — those eyes are it!! Husband went right out and bought me the lights and tape. I stuck them at a slant on a black shoe box lid and propped them up high in the window by the door. I think I’ll swing by and get some black faux fur tomorrow to glue on the box lid so it looks more monster-like. Really fun!!! Thanks!
*clapping hands* Yaaaaaaay, that’s so cool! Shoe boxes are an awesome idea – and if you glue on that fur, I would love to see a picture!
The children enjoyed the Spooky Monster in the window. Our porch is up from the street 7 steps so I think the parents who stayed on the sidewalk got the better view. I cut 2 ear shapes and tacky-glued them above each eye. Then I just wrapped the fur (1/8th of a yard — fur is expensive!!) and stapled it to the sides of the lid. With more time, next year, I will grow my monster family and use a little more finesse! Thanks again for this darling idea. I will email you some photos.
I am not having any success finding an email or instructions as to how to send you my photos. Please email me to let me know how. I suspect I am having a “blonde moment” and simply cannot SEE it right before my very eyes. Thank you! ;o)
Sorry to be confusing, Iris! My email is craftypod AT deepideas DOT com. I’m looking forward to seeing them!
My husband made these in minutes. Thanks for the idea!!!
So great! Wish I had seen this before Halloween! No worries, I’m filing it away for next year! So quick and easy, I love that during the holidays.
