Fall signals the return to the hearth. If we venture outside, it's to drive to the crafts store and back. And black, seeing as how Halloween is at hand. It's the rest of the population that could use a nudge, as well as a reminder that the best fall decorations and Halloween costumes are often the easiest. But there are many costumes that can be created with sweats.
Face paint completes the effect.
For example, a pair of black sweats becomes a scary skeleton with a little white felt and glue. Or a bright red pair takes on devilish qualities when you add a pitchfork, horns and tail. You'll need a frosting kit and some ladyfingers, Twinkies or Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies. Another fun idea is to bundle up jelly beans or candy corn in orange and black napkins, as well as gauze bandaging. Tie the bundles off with black licorice strings and arrange in a web-covered basket with plastic spiders.
