ADD SPICE TO YOUR PUMPKIN DECORATING TIPS TO SPRUCE UP YOUR PUMPKIN THIS HALLOWEEN ALARA STUCKEY

Arts and Entertainment Reporter @alara_stuckey

Don’t feel like getting down and dirty with your pumpkin this Halloween?

No problem!

From easiest to hardest, here are this Halloween’s nine easiest (and cute) ideas.

Mummy pumpkin This is a Daily favorite and it’s pretty easy.

1. Get a roll of cloth bandage & doodle eyes 2. Wrap the cloth bandage around your pumpkin 3. Add some doodle eyes beneath and voila!

Classy pumpkin Maybe I lied in the first one. This is the easiest.

Literally take some decorative tissues (or if you want to get really fancy, Modge Podge) and glue that stuff onto the pumpkin.

If all the decorative tissues seem too “granny” for you, you could probably even make your own.

Dip-dyed pumpkin Get some paint. Dip your pumpkin in the paint.

Spider-kin This one can look really cool with just a few extra minutes.

1. Get a roll of yarn andplastic spiders. You couldtake these from your younger sibling’s box of useless toys or a McDonald’s happy meal.

2. Wrap the yarn around the pumpkin 3. Glue on some spiders! If your yarn starts slipping, just glue it a little bit.

Glittery pumpkin Soak your pumpkin in glue or Modge Podge and drown with glitter.

Donut-kin Making this would probably cost less than getting a Hurts Donut itself.

1. Paint the top half your frosting color of choice (white, brown or pink) 2. Add some colorful lines for the sprinkles.

Frankenstein pumpkin 1. Paint the whole pumpkin green

2. Paint on some hair ( I’ m t a l k i ng e l e m e nt a ry-school-zig-zag-hair) 3. Slap some doodle eyes on him.

Grumpy Cat-kin This isn’t excruciatingly hard, but if you (a) can’t paint to save your life, (b) can paint but you’re OCD and need everything to look perfect so it takes you about three hours (that’s me), then stop right here!

However, if you are somewhat normal with average painting skills, then please do this. Grumpy cat is an all- time favorite, and it will probably take you between 15-25 minutes.

1. Paint the whole pumpkin white 2. Paint the eye sockets brownish-black.

3. paint a pair of grumpy

looking eyes.

4. paint a pink nose and a frowny face.

Crayola-kin Honestly — I don’t know what’s so amazing about melting crayons onto stuff, but I am not surprised in the least that melting crayons onto your pumpkin is happening this Halloween.

1. Get a box of crayons.

2. Glue them to the top of your pumpkin 3. Blow dry the top of that pumpkin until it’s the color of the rainbow. Six out of 10 times this doesn’t look good, but if you’ve done it before or you’re just up for the challenge, then go ahead.

Happy Halloween and enjoy!

BONFIRE SEASON CREATING THE PERFECT FALL HANGOUT AND THE STEPS YOU SHOULD TAKE ALLISON WEINTRAUB | @ALLIEFRANCES12

DIY:

MOUNTAIN PIES

S

’mores and hotdogs are campfire classics, but have you ever heard of mountain pies, pudgy pies or hobo pies?

Pudgy pies, hobo pies and mountain pies are one and the same but are called different things, based on geographic location. Composed of bread, and an array of fillings in a pie iron and cooked by campfire, this fireside food takes get togethers to a new level.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: •Square, sliced sandwich bread •Filling of choice.

Ex. Pie filling, pizza ingredients (like cheese, sauce, pepperoni), or bananas and Nutella.

•Cooking spray •Pie iron (available in most camping sections) •Campfire

THE STEPS:

STEP 1: Once you have your campfire going, mist the pie iron and two slices of bread with the cooking spray. Then place bread on either side of the pie iron.

STEP 2: Place your choice of filling in the center of a bread slice, keeping the other slice bare. The amount of filling should be equivalent to three tablespoons.

STEP 3: Close and lock the pie iron then place in the heat of the fire. Cook by flipping the iron every 30 seconds for three minutes or until bread is golden brown. Then, pop the pie out and enjoy!

TIP:

Change up and experiment with flavors by using different breads and filling concoctions.

onfires are a quintessential part of fall, whether you gather around them to sing “Kumbaya,” roast marshmallows or just think they fit with your autumn aesthetic. Here are some ways to prepare for a bonfire as well as some tips for making the bonfire successful.

Step one, get a bonfire permit from the City of Norman. Bonfire permits are required for any bonfire. To get one, call 405-292-9780. You must have the permit one week before the event.

Also, make sure the area where you will be having the bonfire is cleared of any hazardous material or stray flammable items.

To maximize the

bonfire experience, make sure you have the right food. There is the classic bonfire fare: hot dogs, sides and s’mores. If you want to mix it up, try making kebobs.

Bring pre-cut seasoned meat and vegetables and cook them over the fire on a skewer. Have a couple of designated cooks who know what they’re doing, otherwise, cooking will be a mess and could be dangerous.

Bring an old blanket — or something you don’t care about getting dirty — to sit on. If you prefer something with more substance, do bring a chair, but don’t bring anything nicer than a camping chair.

Make sure to wear something comfy. While looking nice is always

fun, bonfires have a way of making everyone in attendance a mess by the end of the night. Even if you want to maintain your style, wear things that you wouldn’t mind smelling like smoke, getting dirty or even throwing away.

Plan to have a couple of designated people in charge of the fire, especially if there is alcohol.

These designated people will be the guardians of the fire — making sure that nothing goes wrong while keeping the fire lit.

The most important thing is to remember a fire extinguisher.

Nothing quite ends a bonfire like realizing you can’t stop the fire from raging.
