1. Web Table Cloth
Take a long piece of black cloth the size of the table you wish to cover, draw the shape of a web outline on the cloth with some chalk then use scissors to cut it out. Wash out the chalk in the washing machine or with a wet cloth… Et voila! You have yourself a web inspired table cloth! The beauty of this DIY design is that no sewing is required and you can also make web-styled coasters with a smaller version of this design.
2. Spooky Cake Toppers
Baking some spooky treats over Hallowe’en? Then why not dress them up with spooky cake toppers. All you need for this is some felt which can be cut into spiders or bats then secured with a bit of wiring or a cocktail stick coloured in black.
3. Pumpkin Jars
A lovely way to decorate your home over Hallowe’en is to fill it with pumpkin inspired candle holders and jars. These can be easily made from old jam jars or votives you have lying around the house. Visit Makeit-Loveit.com for a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own pumpkin jars.
4. Halloween Staircase
