9 Frightfully easy Halloween party decorations (& a few to buy too!)

Pict: Pinterest

In all honesty I have only been to a handful of Halloween parties – for one I hate dressing up. But, since having Miss Marnie its opened up a whole new world of Halloween fun for me. From dressing up (her, not me), crafts and fun food – I seem to get more excited by this spooky day with each year and can’t wait to organise a little party for her soon.

Although, I would much rather stick to the more colourful, kitsch and ‘child-friendly’ side of things (if you know what I mean) – like pumpkins, spider webs and ghosts – rather than the creepy, ghoulish side.

So, I have rounded up my favourite decoration ideas from… yes, you guessed it Pinterest. These are so easy, peasy you could do them in the dark… ha ha.

 1) Scary Balloons – use a black Sharpie and draw faces on balloons  (easier to do when they are blown up)

 2) Ghost Garland – from PeppermintPlum You WONT believe what these are made from…..

3) Spider Napkin rings from HGTV -This look so impressive – yet will take minutes to make.

 4) Spooky Ghost Garland from all you  Amazing what you can create with some paper cups!

 5) Wool Pumpkin Garland – from Honest to Nod How stylish is this? I so want to make one…

 6) Mummy Candle Light Jars – from Crafts reDesigned Simple yet so effective – even the kids could do this one.

 7) Plastic Cup Lanterns from The Australian Baby Blog You can get coloured cups from Party Packs

 8) Pumpkin Cups – just stick googly eyes onto orange (or, even to white) cups. Use for drinks, holding cutlery or for treats.

 9) Treat Cups and plates from simple as that blog I mean how brilliant are these? Great blog with lots of Halloween ideas…
