This week I'm doing a house tour, but it's not just a house tour, it's a Halloween house tour! Since Halloween is tomorrow, I thought I would show you how I decorated my house! I found many of the items in big supermarkets or pound shops, if you look carefully and use your imagination you can find some really good stuff.
As you can see from the picture above, I had three pictures on the wall which I took down and replaced with these Halloween masks and a "Deadly Diner Menu". We already had the masks from previous years and I thought it would make a statement to display them on a wall for a change. The menu came from a pound shop. Cost was only £1.50.
The flying bats are from Waitrose. I've used clear nylon string to hang them from the banisters to make them appear like they are flying. The pumpkin came from Morrisons and cost £1.50 and I had help with the carving. (I named him Jeff) lol! I used a black shawl belonging to my mum to cover the table and I think this helps bring out the Halloween vibe. The black roses (£1 each), orange spiderweb bottle (£2) and RIP gravestone (£3) were from Morrisons. I finished off the look with some faux cobweb and orange candles.
For the dining table I bought a roll of orange table covering from a local supermarket. A friend lent me the black spider web tablecloth and I think the combination looks really effective. I used black napkins and wine glasses to stick to the Halloween look. I used some black bat decorative wire around the lights that I had from previous years.
I used these really cute, yet Halloween appropriate, hanging decorations on a door, I think they looked playful, cute and spooky! These were from Morrisons, sorry can't remember the cost! But approximately £2 - £3.
I attached a paper spiderweb fan to the light fittings and this was from Morrisons and came in a pack of three. The pumpkin lantern is really old, but still gives off a nice orange glow and to compliment this, I used orange LED tea lights in the candle holders that I already owned. The spiderweb placemat came from Carrefour and that was 4€. I also used some spooky black skull candles from Morrisons at £2.50 each, but I'm not going to burn these as I would like to use them again.
On my fireplace I used two packets of different sized spiders and faux cobweb to create a realistic, spooky scene. I used rolled up masking tape to attach the spiders and the cobweb to the wall. Both came from pound shops for around about £3 in total. Really effective.
The twigs were from the garden and then sprayed black. The string of pumpkin lights are old, but still look great on a mirror. Like the masks, I already had the witches hat and decided to use it in my display, (to make it stand upwards you can stuff with paper or black plastic bags). The cauldron was filled with spare black napkins. An old flowerpot was sprayed black and I filled this with faux cobweb which was overflowing to create a spooky atmosphere. That's all for this week! I hope you enjoyed! Perhaps this even gave you some ideas for your house if you haven't decorated yet...? House decor is one of my favourite things at Halloween! Hope you have a very spooky Halloween! Love you all!
Byyeee!
