Heads Up For Halloween by Eleanor Levie (NAPSA)—Put everyone in the Halloween spirit with easy-tomake Fantasy Faces. All the members of your family can get the chance to be whatever they want, plus stay in costume 24/7. First, snap a close-up shot of each person’s face—and ask someone to snap yours,too. If you use a digital camera, you can preview each image and reshoot until it’s perfect. Print out the faces so each one fills a page. The boy’s and girl’s heads shown here were printed on Fujifilm Premium Plus 8% x 11” photo paper. You can do it at home, but bringing your memory card to a retail photo center will also do the trick. Back each photo with cardboard and cut out aroundtheface. Then, let everyone in the family go wild with creativity. The secret to tinting faces (“Oh, what lovely green skin you have!”) is to mix drops of acrylic paint with a dollop of clear paint medium from the craft store. Glue on yarn hair, paperhats, lace collars. To make face masks, poke eye holes into the photo so the wearer can see out and either tie on or tape a dowel to the back for a handle. When masksaren’t in use, stick the handle into a pumpkin for a Halloween centerpiece. Or, put your “heads” together with curling ribbon for a “boo-tiful” garland. Any way you show off these Facesby Kathleen George; photography by Donna Chiarelli. Faceit, great Halloween decorations can look hauntingly familiar. photo-crafts, there'll be no disguising everyone’s delight. Here are a few more decorating ideas that stand more than a ghost of a chance of pleasing the boys and ghouls: * Fill a rubberglove % full with water, tie off the end with a rubber band and freeze. When theice is solid, remove the glove and float the disembodied hand in a punch bowl. Food coloring in the water adds to the gruesomeappeal. * Cut a sponge into the shape of a foot or paw print. Dip it into glowin-the-dark paint and create a glimmering trail to lead party guests or trick-or-treaters to your door. * With a felt pen, draw faces on white plastic garbage bags. Stuff the top with foam or tissue paper, tie off the neck and hang them up around the house. For more information on printing your own digital photos, visit www.Fujifilm.com.
