Some of you are likely headed to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party this year – and let me just say how JEALOUS I am of you all! If you’ve never been – it’s a great time at the Magic Kingdom – there’s trick-or-treating, villain meet and greets, an awesome parade, oh and everyone dresses up in costume, too! But if you’re not not going this year – fear not! Just because you’re not going to the party doesn’t mean you can’t DIY your own Disney fun this Halloween:
Pumpkins are an essential part of any Halloween decor – and with the opening of Disney World’s Toy Story Land earlier this year at Hollywood Studios, the franchise is super hot right now – so these Alien Pumpkins would be the perfect thing to DIY! And as an added bonus – there’s no carving required!
What You’ll Need
White craft pumpkin
Paintbrush
Lime and dark green, white, and black acrylic paint
Lime green craft foam
Lime green pom-pom
Hot glue
How To Make It
Paint the entire craft pumpkin with lime green paint. Let it dry.
Use the white paint to create three ovals for the alien’s eyes. Let it dry.
Use black paint for the alien’s mouth.
With dark green paint, add shadows on the top and bottom of the eyes and the bottom of the mouth.
With black paint, add pupils to each eye.
Cut out the alien’s ears from lime green craft foam. Hot glue them into place on either side of the pumpkin.
Cut out the alien’s antenna from lime green craft foam. Hot glue the lime green pom-pom on top. Hot glue the completed antenna to the stem of the pumpkin. Repeat the steps for additional alien pumpkins.
Obviously CANDY is the main item on most Halloween menus, but if you’re looking for a fun sweet alternative – then check out these Mickey Mummy Cupcakes
What you’ll need
Batch of baked cupcakes
Wax paper
Confectioner’s sugar
Rolling pin
Marshmallows
Kitchen scissors
White frosting
Chocolate nonpareil candies
Chocolate-covered raisins
How to make it
Working atop wax paper dusted with confectioners sugar, use a rolling pin to flatten a bunch of marshmallows.
Use kitchen scissors to cut the rolled marshmallows into thin strips. Set the strips aside for now.
Frost the cupcakes. Press a pair of nonpareil candies (white side down) into the frosting at the top of each cupcake to resemble Mickey ears. Then add a pair of chocolate-covered raisin eyes.
Randomly place marshmallow strips over each cupcake, leaving the eyes exposed, to resemble a mummy. Gently press the strips into the icing just enough to make them stick in place. When the cupcakes are sufficiently covered, use the kitchen scissors to trim the marshmallow around the perimeters, as needed.
