First, hang a beautiful one on the entrance door garland of garlic, which you can easily weave by hand, to give your guests an appropriate welcome for the occasion. So cover all the furniture in your home with gods white sheets: of the old sheets, possibly a little threadbare, they will be fine. This trick will allow you both to protect better shelves, tea tables, sofas and various furnishings during the party, which give the rooms aunusual and somewhat gloomy air.
Then, place one on the table of your buffet or your aperitifs Halloween lantern, using a beautiful pumpkin smooth and round. Making the lantern is very simple: eyes, nose and mouth are drawn on the surface of the pumpkin; once this is done, the upper part of the fruit is removed and we begin to dig inside, until it is emptied; finally, the contours of the eyes, nose and mouth are engraved and a light or a candle is placed inside the pumpkin.

1. Ghost shop
Take some old ones sheets of cotton and draw on it the outlines of one or more ghosts, of the size you want (and which must in any case be compatible with the width of your windows). Then cut out the shapes, sprinkle them with some spray glue and fix them on the windows (don't worry, when the party is over, when you remove the shapes, just wash the windows with alcohol to eliminate the decoration residues!). Complete it all by getting off the curtain rod of the gauze, in order to cover the entire window and create an effective "dust and cobwebs" effect. Here you will find all the step-by-step instructions.
2. Halloween saplings
The tree to decorate does not necessarily have to be a Christmas idea. Just take a nice one Deadwood and decorate it with shapes reminiscent of Halloween. Take del black or orange cardstock - possibly reusing the paper you have at home and coloring it if necessary -, draw the silhouettes you prefer - witch hats, pumpkins, cats, bats, ghosts… - and cut them out. Then pierce them in the upper part to pass the thread that you will need to hang them on your dry branch. You can fix yours Halloween sapling in a vase filled with pebbles or earth, and then place it in the room of your party.
3. Cobwebs
Here is an element that cannot be missing in a self-respecting Halloween party! Take four pieces of iron wire and weave them to form eight rays; then use the other pieces of wire to join the rays together, in order to form the skeleton of your web. Then cover it with del wool thread white, dangling it here and there, and decorate it as you like, using for example silhouettes of flies cut out in the cardboard or the card of candies. When finished, hang it in a high point of the room, perhaps near doors or windows, so that drafts and any movement of air make it sway slightly.
4. Flying ghosts
How about hanging around the gods house little fluttering ghosts? Nothing could be simpler to make! Take a cloth handkerchief or an old scrap of fabric, as long as they are white, place a ball in its center and tighten the fabric around it, tying it with white thread, to form the ghost's head. With a felt-tip pen, draw eyes and mouth and, always using white thread, hang it wherever you like: on the window, on the door handles, on the chandelier, on the coat rack ...
5. Lanterns and candles
With regard to lantern to decorate and illuminate both the entrance to the house and the interiors during your party, we offer you two possibilities.
To make some funny candles, take some glass jars not too big and unlabeled and sprinkle their surface with glue and wrap them completely in curly letter or in one paper as thin as possible and transparent. From a thicker sheet of paper cut out fearful eyes and mouths and color them black. Then glue your shapes on the surface of the jar, place a candle or a tealight inside it and that's it! THU find the tutorial.
Otherwise, you can choose to make funny ones recycled lanterns. Take gods bottles di plastic Empty, choosing among the most squared and capacious ones. Then paint them white and let them dry. When they are ready, equip yourself with a black marker and draw eyes and mouth on their surface. Finally, pierce them on the bottom, so that you can insert some outdoor Christmas lights. And voila, your lantern is ready!
