String \u2018em up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bunting is synonymous with all things nice, like sugar and spice and bake sales. But come All Hallow\u2019s Eve and we have a licence to scare, so why not spell it out with your own frightening bunting? Or play it safe with Happy Halloween Bunting<\/a> by The Bunting Stop.<\/p>\n

Hang \u2018em high<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hauntingly beautiful Mexican sugar skulls make a refreshing change to your average paper skeleton and are more likely to give your party guests the heebeegeebees. So why not embrace Halloween in true D\u00eda de Muertos style with gorgeous Day of the Dead Skull Lanterns<\/a> or Day of the Dead Skull Garlands<\/a> by Post Box Party?<\/p>\n

Book of spells<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fed up of those unread books mocking you from the bookcase? Why not take revenge by ripping out their guts and fashioning them into cute paper pumpkins? That\u2019ll teach \u2018em. If you can\u2019t possibly commit such a heinous crime, you can buy a set of 3 Paper Pumpkins<\/a> from Creaton Crafts instead.<\/p>\n

You may have already cultivated a decent amount of cobwebs in the run up to October 31st<\/sup>, but if you really want to make an impact, why not snap up a set of 3 Spider Fan Hanging Decorations<\/a> from Ginger Ray? Or of course you could have a go at making your own and add to your severed finger collection…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Message from beyond the grave<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst this cute Boo Sign<\/a> by Bean and Beth might not provoke blood-curdling screams or night terrors, it does add a spooky sense of occasion to Halloween. Shop for loose letters, paint and ribbon and create your own festive message.<\/p>\n

Dead man walking<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know that things that go bump in the night are usually those who\u2019ve had one too many snifters to calm their nerves at Halloween. But this charming paper Ghost Garland<\/a> by Peach Blossom will ensure you scare the bejesus out of any stray party guests that may be stumbling around in the wee small hours.<\/p>\n

Revenge of the cheerleader<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pom poms…get it? We know it\u2019s a bit of a tenuous link but we couldn\u2019t resist. It may be a while since you\u2019ve fashioned a pom pom out of wool and a wonky cardboard disk, but those skills you picked up in school have a habit of coming into their own in later life. Like algebra. (Sorry we took it too far.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you have the time and patience, creating a festively coloured pom pom garland is pretty straightforward and looks kind of jaunty. Can\u2019t be bothered? Don\u2019t worry; the Crafty Moo Shop<\/a> has done it for you.<\/p>\n
