Stylish Halloween decoration made from crepe paper

Homemade decorationis not always cheaper than the items you get ready-made for party supplies. However, it is more beautiful and tailored to the style of living. This creates a harmonious overall picture that contributes to the celebratory atmosphere.Halloweenis just around the corner and is a good opportunity to present the attention to detail in the best light. We have chosen paper as a suitable craft material.

Make your own door wreath in dark black

The celebration starts at the front door. Guests are welcomed with delicious welcome drinks and invited to the party in the house. Therefore, it makes sense that the Halloween decorations start there. Decorate the front door stylishly with a themed door wreath made of crepe paper, which is easy to design.

The characteristic colors for Halloween are black and orange, but feel free to experiment with other color combinations. In our example we only work with black crepe paper. Cut into several equal-sized rectangular pieces. Also get a wreath base, usually made of Styrofoam. You also need pins - either with a black head or made entirely of steel.

Fold each piece of crepe paper in half to form a loop and insert it firmly into the wreath base with a pin. A kind of ruffles should form. Continue until the entire surface of the wreath is covered. Try to keep the same distance between the individual elements so that a uniform structure ultimately results.

At the bottom of the wreath, tie a bow made of crepe paper or other material of your choice. You can add some color to the door wreath design by decorating with an orange ribbon. The Styrofoam wreath base can be easily attached to the door using double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive pads.

Witch broom plug

You can make great Halloween pins with paper. This is used to festively decorate party cocktails, cookies and serving plates. Make atmospheric witch broomsticks yourself that fit the theme exactly.

What you need above all are bright straws, which will definitely put you in a good mood, but conventional ones can also be used. A sheet of brown paper and string, as well as orange cardboard are still needed.

A straw serves as the broom handle and you make the broom bristles out of brown paper. Therefore, take a piece of paper and cut it into fringes, but not all the way to the end on one side. Attach double-sided tape and fix it on one side of the glowing straw. It works very simply if you roll the straw onto the sticky area and then apply light pressure.

Apparently the witch's broom looks finished, but the important details are still missing. Make beautiful labels that you attach to each small broom and thereby make the decoration really atmospheric. For this you need a motif punch, hole punch and a string. In the example, the punch is chosen with a label motif, but you can use one of your choice.

Use an orange cardstock as it is just perfect for the theme. Before punching out, you can write festively on the labels. This can be done with a computer and printer or with a typewriter, otherwise you can write it out by hand later. Punch out as many labels as the witch's brooms from cardboard and attach them to each witch's broom.

The witches' brooms can be perfectly integrated into the table decoration and can be inserted into the snacks and party food as an imaginative decoration. You can also give them to guests as small party favors. However, the real effect occurs when the lights go out and the broom handles glow in the dark.

Spooky decorative font

Decorative fonts are always eye-catching and are considered stylish decorations with an individual touch. The decorative letters can be used to present imaginative keywords and monograms as a harmonious decoration in the house. Halloween-themed slogans such as Boo, Spooky, 'Trick or Threat' and others are translated from English. All you need are the corresponding letters, which can be found in any craft store.

The decorative bush tabs are made from materials such as Styrofoam or cardboard, or also as a solid body or box with a lid. Take some of your own choice and color them in black or another color to match the theme. When the paint dries completely, perhaps after at least 12 hours, you can spray paint the surface and then sprinkle with sparkles and glitter. Finally, fix with a suitable spray paint.

The next day, when the surface is dry and not sticky, you can tie the decorative letters together and fix them in the desired location. The letters designed in this way can be hung on the door or placed somewhere else.
