A while back, I did a craft showing you how to make some round paper fan decorations which you can hang from a ceiling or on the wall. Today we're taking that concept a bit further and focusing on a much more grown-up version of that decoration. Enjoy these skull and eyeball paper fan designs which make great hanging and wall decorations for Halloween. There's also a spider and web one too, not shown in the photo, which you can make with the free printable at the end of this post. These Halloween paper fans are enhanced by the free design motifs that you can print off and use in the center of each decoration. Choose from a spiderweb, some eerie eyeballs to watch your guests everywhere they go and a menacing skull.

Some truly eerie cupcakes to use for your Halloween treats are ones that are sure to give your friends and visitors a bit of an evil eye before they tuck in!

English Trifle is a dessert dish that we love to eat. In case you don't know what this is, it normally comes either in one large glass dish for sharing or in separate glass dishes. There are many variations on these English desserts but Jello, Custard and Cream are the three main parts. Using the Jello brain made in our previous post (link in the ingredients) you can make this Zombie brain jello trifle.  Trifle has a layer of jello (Jelly UK) set right at the bottom and sometimes this has pieces of sponge cake in there although we prefer to leave that out. The middle section is really thick custard and the top is whipped cream.

Jello (known as Jelly in the UK) is quick and easy to rustle up for parties, dinners and events and many kids and adults like to eat it. There are lots of fun shaped molds that you can buy for occasions such as Halloween. One of my favorite molds is this brain shaped one which I've used a number of times and in different color combinations. Learn this fun Jello brain mold recipe to use for your Halloween entertaining and parties. Solid colors look fine but by adding evaporated milk into the mix, you can turn your plain translucent Jello into something that looks more like real flesh. I managed to get this rather two-tone effect with mine which looked pretty cool.
