Here’s some quick and easy Halloween favour and decorating ideas that don’t require too much skill!

Looking for a simple table setting idea?  Can’t get simpler or smarter than this!  Team black plates with a blood red serviette held by some dracula fangs…very cool…

For wall decor you could create these specimen boxes using shadow boxes, coloured cardboard and creepy creatures.

Display bones under a glass cloche and add spider webs to black photo frames for spooky decor.  Use wrought iron and black wicker to further accent the gothic feel to Halloween.

And if you can’t afford fancy lighting effects maybe this is a good alternative for you…all you need is plastic cups, a black marker and battery operated votives!

And another spooky lighting idea is to use these plain white masks with glow sticks behind the masks…

These friendly skull characters are made by adding skulls to candlesticks and adding rhinestones, mini top hats, feathers, boa and fringeing.  They make pretty cool table centrepieces!
