Smoking Party Drinks

From fruity creations to Martinis ala James Bond, add a smidge of dry ice to your party drinks for a spooky, smoking effect. Make sure you purchase food grade dry ice for safety and be sure to handle with care. For an extra special touch, hot glue a plastic spider to the stems of your glasses.

Adult Halloween Costumes

If you are the party host, work it out! If you are a woman, choose a witch costume and add unexpected touches to make your costume uniquely you. If you are a man, opt for a wizard costume. It will add to your party’s decor and help set the mood for a wonderful night.

Spooktacular Decor

Instead of orange pumpkins, choose white pumpkins this year. There is something more grown up and sophisticated about these pumpkins. They also put off a brilliant glow when made into Jack-o-lanterns.

The Monster Kissing Booth

We love this idea! Place your guests inside of the Monster Kissing Booth for a playful game of Kiss the Monster. Set up a make shift booth and create a sign out of particleboard. Paint on “wood planks” and then, spell out “Free Kisses”. This works best if you paint on your words imperfectly.

With just a few simple touches and a dash of imagination, you can turn your party into the envy of the boo-lock. So what are you waiting for? Let’s party!

Making fishing lures may be easy for the seasoned do-it-yourself angler. But the maintenance of these lures is just as important to ensure a tip-top condition.

After buying or making the fishing lures there is still the responsibility of taking care of and repairing them so that they are always in good condition. This requires some effort and time but is usually easy for the angler who makes his own fishing lures.

Since he makes them and puts them together, he also knows how to take them apart and repair them. He also has the tools and fishing lure parts necessary for such work. All the tools required to assemble the parts and make the lures are explained on this page at http://www.make-your-own-fishing-lures.com/hand-tools.html .

Fishing lures in general do not require much care when storing them in a home or shop. The best idea is to put them into cabinet drawers or individual boxes so that they can be found easily and can be kept dry. In humid climates or near the seashore it is important not to expose the metal parts to the air; otherwise, hooks will rust and other metals will corrode.

Fishing lures that have feathers or hair should be kept in airtight containers so that moths and other insects or small animals will not get to them. This also applies to new fishing lures that haven’t yet been used. Lures which have been used require considerable care if you want to get the maximum use from them. Freshwater fishing lures usually require less care and repair than saltwater ones.

In general, when examining any fishing lure you have made or bought it’s a wise policy to repair it if you are the least bit doubtful about its condition. Repairing usually means sandpapering the part of the lure body that is slightly chipped and then touching up with a small brush, using enamels or lacquers.

Replace the hooks with new ones if they are badly rusted. When doing this it is important to use the same size and weight as the old ones so that the action of the fishing lure is not changed in any way. If the damage is too bad and the lure cannot be repaired, throw it away after salvaging any usable parts.

It doesn’t pay to take chances with a fishing lure that is weak in any way. You may hook a record fish but lose it if the lure is not dependable. Many anglers who buy their fishing lures in tackle stores often use them until they fall apart, before buying new ones. But if you make your own fishing lures you can afford to use only those that are still in good condition.

It is better to be safe than sorry.
