Halloween, or All Saints' Day, is associated with horror and mysticism. An integral part of the celebration is the creation of an eerie interior and a corresponding gloomy atmosphere. However, the interior does not always have to wind up horror and chill the blood in the veins, it can be fun and create an emphasis on autumn and its gifts.
Rustic decor, replete with all shades of orange, yellow, brown, will be more appropriate than ever.
Pumpkin - all over the head
The main attribute of the holiday is Jack's pumpkin lantern. For self-production, you will need a sharp knife, a small pumpkin and wire. Carefully cut off the top of the pumpkin, use a spoon to remove the pulp and seeds. Use a pen or felt-tip pen to draw the contours of the eyes and mouth, carefully cut with a knife. Make at least two holes in the pumpkin and pass the wire through. Place a candle inside the pumpkin head, and fix the lantern itself on a stable frame.
It takes less time to make paper pumpkins. Cut identical strips from decorative paper, fan them at one end, straighten them into a ball and secure on the opposite side. Make a pumpkin tail from a wine cork, secured with a wire or a glue gun.
A pumpkin can make not only a decorative element, but also a very practical thing, for example, a vase. Using the same principle, peel the pumpkin from the pulp and cut out an ornament or a frightening grimace. To prevent water from flowing out of the vase, make various kinds of holes only in the upper part.
Placers of decorative pumpkins will help to decorate the festive table. For decoration, choose small fruits, each of which wrap with bright braid.
Skeleton "in the closet" and watching eyes
Cut out the skeleton parts from white paper and place them on the refrigerator door. If guests gather at night, make sure that the skeleton is not lost in the dark, trace the outline of the bones with nail polish glowing in the dark.
"Attention, you are being watched!" such a feeling can be generated in your guests by "big-eyed" objects. Cut out the outlines of the eyes out of white paper, "animate" them with the help of the pupils and stick them on vases, curbstones, flower pots and doors.
Bringing out gauze
To make a "manual" cast, you will need a plastic bottle, wire, ball or ball, starch and a spray bottle. Place the ball on the bottle, make a wire frame. Cover the resulting structure with gauze and cover abundantly with water and starch, gently lay out the folds and leave to dry completely. Remove the adduction from the frame, glue the eyes and place it on a horizontal surface. In the same way, you can make small ghosts that will decorate the chandelier. To make them, instead of a bottle and a ball, take a plastic cup and a tennis ball, starch can be replaced with PVA glue diluted with water.
