Halloween has always been a big deal to me, so please forgive my Martha Stewart moment.

Halloween is fun because kids get to dress up as their dream character, while grown-ups have an excuse to make a fool of themselves.

These days, you can buy just about everything Halloween at your favorite toy store—costumes, props, masks, and special effects. Back when I was growing up, however, one had to be more resourceful. I’ve always been into creating things from scratch, making my own props, décor, and costume, so even today, it’s a hobby I like to indulge in once a year.

Whether you’re inviting kids over or having a spooky get-together with friends, make your Halloween party more memorable with these tricks and treats!
