For those of you who may not know, in the UK, this month is Movember. Movember is an initiative to raise awareness and vital finds for prostate and testicular cancer by encouraging men to sprout moustaches for the entire month of November!

Inspired by the thousands of unshaven men I present our DIY moustaches!

I love these photo props. We went to a wedding in the summer and they were a big hit!

Here's how to make your own.

• 1 packet stick on moustaches (I got mine in the local £1 store)
• Black card
• Chop sticks (I had some free ones from the local Chinese take away left in the kitchen drawer)
• Glue and scissors

Simply stick your moustaches to the card and cut out the moustache. Glue one edge of your moustache to the chop stick and you are ready for your close up!

I prefer these to the card ones as the fuzzy effect really adds to a photo!

It has been pouring with rain here and we all have the sniffles. But we managed to get out for 10 minutes, armed with a leftover canister of coloured hair spray from Halloween. Small boy is a master at pointing to his nose but anywhere else forget it! So we tried big brother school! Big boy was trying to teach him all the different features of your face with our spray man!

The spikey hair was to look like Dada!

I kept the spray well out of their reach and it will wash off in the rain!

We did a few rounds of the face game and then played with the basketball! All with big boy in a pair of pink wellies left over from small boy's welly throwing race at his birthday party in the summer!

The Heath Bros adored their Halloween Party (I will post the photos later!) and I adored the centre piece for the food table! So simple but really effective and you can reuse it with any party theme, just change the tissue and ribbon.

You will need:

Polystyrene false cake bases (I bought mine from a cake shop in town)

Tissue paper and ribbon to decorate

Glue - tape and a glue gun was quickest for me but super glue would work just as well

Lollies!

Cover your bases in tissue and hold in place underneath with tape. Glue the bases together and add the ribbon. I left a heavy tin of old photos on mine as a weight for 10 minutes. Poke your lollies into the bases in a repeated pattern. Tissue paper works best as the lollies poke straight through.

It make a great centrepiece and when the boys had chosen their favourites, we let our trick or treaters pick too!

I am going to make a Christmas one next with candy canes!
