"Hi, this is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to be making a variety of versatile Halloween centerpieces. Are you ready to turn this beautiful cornucopia centerpiece into a creepy Halloween centerpiece? Well it's really quite easy. First of all we are just going to throw in a few black leaves. That kind of gives us the feeling of Halloween because how many times do we see black leaves in real life? Kind of put those around a few places and darken it up a little bit. Put in as many as you feel comfortable with and then we start throwing in some of those creepy Halloween things. If you have some of them on a pick you can push them back down into the cornucopia or just set them around on the plate. Those little ghouls and goblins and ghosties. Maybe a few mummies and some bats, different things that give it the feeling of Halloween and then you can always take these little spider rings and work them down into the vegetables so that you have got bats and spiders and little creepy crawlies coming all over your fruit. Then for that final touch you want to take some of the spider web and get it real nice and thin and cob webby so that it really strings out. Just keep pulling and pulling until you really have it very stringy and fine because you want to see through it but you still want to give the feeling that this cornucopia has been sitting around a long time in a haunted house. Then maybe string it out a little over the whole thing, nice and full. Then for the final touch right on top, find one of those really creepy spiders or make one of your own out of pipe cleaner. Just look at it and see if it looks scary enough and creepy enough for you. Now we have gone from a beautiful cornucopia fall centerpiece to a Halloween cornucopia centerpiece. "
