To make these giant dripping candles, have 1½-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch PVC pipes cut to your desired height. Then, on a covered surface, spray paint the PVC pipes white. Using a hot-glue gun and white glue sticks, apply glue from the top down the sides to make drips, as shown. Trace the base of a battery-powered tea light onto a sponge and cut out. Hot-glue the sponge into the top of the pipe and cover with white hot glue. Let cool completely, then push the tea light into the pipe to rest on top of the sponge. Finally, set the pipe on a circle of wax paper and drip white hot glue around the bottom edge.

These floppy felt creatures will flutter when you walk up and down the stairs. Using a bat template and felt, cut out the shapes for the bat bodies and heads. Tie a 6-inch long piece of monofilament line around the middle of each bat body, letting the ends hang loose. Hot-glue two pieces of range hole-punched paper to the head for eyes, then glue the head onto the middle of the body. Tie the bats to your railings and trim any extra monofilament.
