Halloween Cracker How-To
1. Center a paper-towel roll at the top of an 11-by-9 1/2-inch piece of crepe paper, and attach with double-sided tape. Roll the paper around the paper-towel roll, and tape the edge of the paper.

2. Gather the crepe paper on one end. Cut a piece of a plastic spider ring off, and loop it around the gathered paper to hold.

3. Fill the roll with assorted candies, and gather the paper on the other end. Secure with spider ring.
