Create a stylish Halloween home Author: Style At Home
Conjure up some fun on Halloween with these gothic and glamourous decorating ideas, easy and clever creepy crafts and wickedly delicious goodies. Whether you're aiming to involve your kids in a cute project or want to give friends and neighbours a sophisticated and spooky welcome, these charming ideas are positively bewitching.
Sit, if you dare, in this cosy corner in the light of tall black candlesticks and a construction-paper mantel. The black cat pillows sport button eyes and white-thread whiskers and they'll help you keep an eye on all those fuzzy spiders!
Skulls and statues and bell jars full of brains are the objets that make up this ghastly grouping. Haunt craft stores and yard sales -- or search your attic and closets -- for funky, inexpensive props that can be pressed into service for a display. The scarier, the better!
Clean glass dishes and frightening fabric are all it takes to decoupage these shudderingly scary skull plates. Group them on a wall to add ghoulish glamour, or give away as creepy party favours.
