Tim and I didn’t want to celebrate Halloween – such a silly American Holiday.
But it is really cosy and slowly the traditions stealt upon us. October is a
month in which you really need to decorate and invite guests. We decided we were
allowed to decorate as long as it didn’t cost anything. So during a week we sat
each night cutting and gluing. Below you can download our templates to make your
own cuttings. Since then more items have been added to the collection, now the
rule has changed to “it has to be cheap” – who are we fooling anyway!?! ;)
Take a tour in our Halloween decorated dining room.
 |
Of course we have a carved pumpkin with a candle in. It is carved different
each year, from scary fangs to silly grins. |
 |
Our main door with ceramic pumpking and a
glow-in-the-dard skeleton.
I have collected cake forks with ghosts and skeletons glowing in the dark –
hard to resist. So we invite guests for disgusting cake |
  |
Tim dresses up scary from what he can find, 2004 and 2005.
Here are three great kids in 2006, a bloody pirate, a
female spider and Death himself, he has just put down the mask. They are
counting the harvest.
|
 |
The nice skull festoon and an awful howling orange ghost – a present from a
former Halloween party. |
 |
Diverse small and larger figurines.
And troll hazel sprigs with our home made cardboard
decorations. I have scanned the templates for download, see below. |
 |
The very nice paper globe Tim has drawn from my real water globe. Small bats
are flying around the witch. |
 |
Salt and pepper ghost, a scary tree with an orange candle and napkins with
pumpkins in my nice holder.
A nice witch and pumpkin tea light candlesticks.
The water in my aquarium looks horrible in the photo, but above it a witch
flies and besides it a pumpkin-man (snowman like) for tea lights. |
 |
Scary pumpkin candlelights in each bay window. I use to have small orange
flowers in them, but alas … |
 |
A fabulous 3d book formed like a haunted house in which a boy looks for his
dog. On the way he meets the most scary creatures and things. |
 |
So many great details which I hope my photo shows. I have photographed all
four sides. In the roof there is a see-through ghost which looks very real
from the inside of the house. |
 |
At the beginning of October I have several different pumpkins outside. Later
the orange one at the table is carved and the garden furniture hit away. |
 |
Here are our templates for download.
Click thumbnail for large picture, right click the picture and choose Save
as.
Then start cutting and decorating.
It is very cosy and cheap and looks great on naked troll sprigs. |
