Trick-or-Treat Cauldron

Hi, I'm Evette Rios, here on eHow.com and I wanted to show you guys a little trick that I like to play on my trick or treaters. I call it the sneaky cauldron and you'll see why. So for this you're going to need a plastic cauldron. I got this at a party store for less than five bucks so it's cheap and you're going to need some black socks, preferably laundered but ideally used. You're going to need a knife, some really heavy duty tape, this is gaff tape but you could alway use like a duct tape, anything you've got that's got some real holding power and then I've got a candle here because I'm having a seance later, but before I do, I'm going to use it light up and warm up my blade so that it can push right through the plastic. So you just kind of warm up the tip a little bit and you're just going to make a hole at the bottom of your cauldron. And so you're going to see that there's actually a hole already sort of in it. You know there's like a form for it so just follow that one and if that hole is not big enough for your hand you're sort of starting to see the picture here, you are, you can always make the hole a little bit bigger. So start small and then go big. Okay so I've got my bottom cut out now, there you go and it's big enough for my hand because yeah, that's right, you are going to scare the tails off of those kids when they come looking for treats. Okay so I just cut the tip off of my sock and you could keep it long like this or you could shorten it up but what you're going to do is just kind of spread it out like this, stick the sock inside of the cauldron and you could either do this like on the outside the way I'm taping it or you can tape it from the inside. The nice thing about taping it on the inside is then you don't see all the tape but it's easier for me to show you guys how to do it if I do it this way. Okay so I'm just going to tape around the outside like that. You're going to need a couple of pieces of tape because you've got to kind of hold it open, so just spread it out and then tape it like that. And there you go. So you can see if you did this on the inside all of this stuff would be less obvious but you've got your sock in there and then see you put your hand in here like this. So now it's time to fill it with candy. So I've got an assortment of all sorts of good stuff that kids love because you want to entice them with stuff that they want, not apples, kids don't want apples and then check this out, once they kids are like oh trick or treat and like oh my gosh who are you supposed to be, what are you from Toy Story 3, oh, that's so cute, oh take some candy and then you're like ahhh, it works every time. Thanks so much for watching. I'm Evette Rios, here on eHow.com and come back again because we've got loads of Halloween tips just for you.
