Halloween Ideas

BOO!! Make this Halloween the best one ever. If you are planning a Halloween Party this year, then you need to start planning the costume, think about decorations and what goolish food you can serve...

I love Halloween and every year I love to decorate and make the house as "spooky" as possible. I decorate the entrance with skeletons and spider webs, we have a fake graveyard in the front garden with a scarecrow "witch" standing up in between. Goolish food on the table is served with some Halloween Monster Music Mix played - the party starts at 4 with trick & treat (or "trick & tweet" as my youngest one used to say).  

So here are some ideas I gathered to help you on your way!

Re-using - Re-cycling Fabrics & Wallpaper Scraps

What can you do when you have lots of waste fabric or wallpaper left from your projects?
Throwing away? - NO!!!

Style your furniture with the rest of your favorite fabrics!

Maybe you have some wallpaper scraps as well? Same thing!
There are lots of clever usages - specially in children's rooms.

You can be as creative as you want - e.g. simple looking with patterned fabrics in the back.

 Keep the wardrobe in one color and make the door interesting with a pattern - especially flower patterns lift any girls nursery!

If you do have big scraps of fabric than build your little ones a den!

We love the idea with the painted floor boards - just a simple hint for a princess

Even several small fabric pieces can make a fun and unique curtain...just make a patchwork curtain!

Or transform a plain cupboard to a more fun cupboard!

Whatever you decide to do with the rest of your fabric... just do not throw it away!
