Transform our

spooky papers & embellishments into the cutest monster mash bash on the block. See our hauntingly adorable ideas inside—from the invites to the games to the décor.

-> Wicked Wishes

Spread the news about your spooky soirée with

handmade party invites. It’s all about a playful mix of

papers and embellishments: think homemade paper

medallions, black self-adhesive gemstones

and a monster mashup of coordinating ribbons

and trims.

<- going Batty This wicked paper pennant gets a frightful boost from seasonal papers and a fly-by-night foam sticker. Try concocting a coordinating set of these little paper flags for a chic bunting-style banner—you can poke small holes at the corners and string them on baker’s twine.

Spine-tingling touch-> black glitter along the edges of both the pennant and the medallion.

<- scare flair Want to make your ghoul-friends grin? Glue a trio of spooky homemade medallions to ribbon-wrapped dowel rods—they mimic flowers! And here’s a trick: Embellish them with eerie silhouettes from scrapbook paper. Simply enlarge them on a copier, cut them out, add glitter and adhere.

Creepy CANs Eat your veggies—and be sure to save the cans they came in. You’ll need thirteen to pull off this fiendish party game. Wrap the cans with patterned paper. Then number them, and let the peanuts fly. When your peanut lands in a can, you get the number of points shown on the label.

Spine-tingling touch: handmade number labels featuring specialty papers, stickers & more.

Spine-tingling touch: a spooky spider brad guarding

the free space.

Bewitching bingo Who’s ready for a bewitching game of bingo? Use a paper cutter

to cut a generous supply of same-size paper squares (1” x 1” squares shown here). Adhere cutouts to glitter paper to

create a grid. Then add number stickers and the embellishments of your choice, and grab a

bag of candy corn for markers.

Halloween Headgear

Start with a basic paper cone, then trace the cone to create the doughnut-shaped brim. Tape the cone and the brim together, then embellish it

with paper medallions, gemstone buttons, fabric flowers and glittered

chipboard letters.

-> Ghastly Gourds

These precious pumpkins feature 12” x 12” sheets of

patterned and glitter paper adhered back to back and

cut into strips. The strips are connected with brads, one at the top and one at

the bottom, and the stem is a simple wooden spool.

Spine-tingling touch-> black tulle,

hauntingly hung from each side of the banner.

-Boo day BAnner We outfitted the backs of these hand-cut letters (layered papers, accented with black glitter) with discreet paper tabs. Then we slid black ribbon through the tabs to create a welcoming banner.

<- EEK SWEEP We thought way outside the box for this cutsie décor—we thought broom! Standard discount store sweepers joined the fright fest with strips of patterned papers (wrapped around the handles) and embellished chipboard letters. Tip: A large painted bucket, filled with floral foam and topped with naturally creepy Spanish moss, is a quick and easy way to display your brooms!
