Origami Bats and Pumpkin Garland

Hello everybody,

Halloween is just around the corner, so if you want to decorate your home it might be time to get started... ;) Today I'm gonna share a fast and easy to make garland with origami bats and pumpkins which won't take you longer than an hour to make.

"Poisoned" Chocolate Apples for Halloween

Hi folks,

although it has become kind of a thing during the last few years, Halloween is (still) not a national holiday in Austria. However, this year I've been invited to a Halloween party at Katja's and therefore I decided to come up with some ideas for this funny and spooky day, like these dangerous looking and green shimmering "poisoned" chocolate apples. :)

Bloody Spooky Fancy Dress Halloween is coming!

Hi folks,

those of you who know me are aware of my HUGE love for Halloween :)
Since three years I am celebreting Halloween every year with a couple of friends in the club house of my village. Today I would like to share two costume ideas and some Halloween decoration impressions with you.

Last year I went as Poison Ivy from Batman. For this costume you'll need:

• long red wig
• green tights and a green long-sleeved top
• fake ivy leaves (green and red)
• wide belt (glue two ivy leaves on it)
• green plastic gloves (paint red fingernails on them)
• funky fake lashes (and here you find an awesome poison ivy make-up tutorial)
• optional: I was waring a dress with a green pattern on it over my top

Two years ago there was a big hype about the Black Swan costume. Here's my version of it :) For this costume you will need:

• black corsage
• black tutu or wide mini-skirt
• black feathers (glue them on the tutu/skirt)
• (fake) diadem
• opional: red contace lenses
• and here's a great "Black Swan" make-up tutorial by Michelle Phan.

 

My favourite Halloween decorations are - of course - Jack-O'Lanterns, graveyard lights, fake spider webs and creepy black&white pictures of people from the 19th century ;-) 

I hope you get some inspiration for a cool Halloween-decor with my pics.

 Sick pumpkin ;)

Creepy family tree: I have just printed out old pictures from the 19th century that I found in goggle pictures.

 Funny ideay for the dance floor: crime scene! I just used white gaffa tape for it.

 Graveyard Halloween cake!!

I made an electric chair out of an old commode, some pieces of wire, two old leather belts and gaffa tape. I used a broom, a salad bowle and the framework of an old lamp for the "head-part" of the chair. People made some veeery funny pictures with that electric chair on the party! ;-)

Happy Halloween everybody and don't forget: EAT. DRINK. AND BE SCARY!
