There were a few years where I didn’t do much for holidays. They just didn’t seem as much fun without young children around to decorate, bake and be festive for.

It was downright depressing.

Then I thought, “Wait! I’m really only 10 years old so I can celebrate for ME!”

(Add the two digits of your age 4+6=10 to find your age … in my world anyway)

Then I had a talk with my nearly adult children and we all thought it would be fun to have a Halloween party as a part of our weekly family dinner.

So I’ve been playing around with party ideas and I came up with these Halloween Cupcake Paper Mache Box Party Favors.

I kept the color palette to four colors; purple, orange, black and lime green.

I painted the box bottoms and part of the tops. You could paint the insides and the whole top if you want.

Nothing fancy, a solid color base and some lines and dots.

Then I glued 1/4 inch and 1/5 inch pom poms to the tops with hot glue for the “frosting”.

Honestly, they didn’t take all that much time to make and I think they are a whole lot of fun.

I think I’m going to have to make more!!
But what should I put in them besides candy? Any good ideas?
