万圣节线

109

No costume plans as yet, but DS2 has declared he wants our house to be the most halloweeny house in the street. He has epic plans for giant spider webs on the front, a mini graveyard set up on the front garden, and I’m sure a smoke machine was mentioned…

Thanks OP! Jumping on to see whether has any good and cheap decoration ideas?

很棒的主意，OP！

We started to celebrate different events throughout the year to make each season something to look forward to. We live in Switzerland (but are French & British), so we try to celebrate our national events for the kid’s identity too. We do Bastille day, Guy Fawkes, St George’s day etc. Even Chinese new year!

But Halloween is s favourite now. We add to the decorations collection each year and now have a kind of indoor ‘display’ with a Halloween tree (twig-type), skeletons, spiders, bats etc. I also got an old doll off Facebook marketplace and painted her face to look like a zombie last year ♀️

Outside we have various hanging skeletons, pumpkins etc. We have a treasure hunt in the garden/forest where the kids and neighbours’ kids hunt for the treats that the ‘monsters’ have hidden. We have Halloween themed party food (look on BBC Good Food for loads of cool ideas).

I’m not good enough with the sewing machine to make costumes so we buy them. DH and I usually get something for ourselves too (not full on fancy dress but a top or hat or something).

Then we read some spooky stories for the kids and DH and I watch horror/scary movie when they’re in bed. It’s on a Sunday this year so we’ll try to make a weekend of it - maybe have a party in the garden around the fire pit.

哦，我现在都为此感到兴奋！

我们这样做，装饰房子和外面，但它是温柔的东西，我曾经有一个邻居去Slasher型的东西，滴水..刀..我发现5岁和9岁的孩子们太多了吗？

We do bat's, cats, cute witches... Pumpkin

Here’s the doll I bought for about £1.50. I just used makeup and food colouring to zombie-fy her!

绒毛that's far too scary for us...

That would give us all nightmares.

我们去寻找更轻柔的东西。

I love Hallowe'en and this year it's on a weekend night < >

I reckon there will be lots of people going round on the Saturday too , so my decorations will go up on the Saturday afternoon (and hope it doesn't rain)

Cheap decorations - I aim to make all mine from tat I have already or very few £ .

墓碑 - 使用谷物盒，将它们用平底盒作为基座的大小。盖上报纸/糊状条以隐藏连接。油漆（剩余的乳液）用深色油漆斑点，从花园里盖上常春藤


万圣节树 - 树枝，涂成黑色，绑住茎，然后将它们放在一个带有腻子桶的水桶中，然后用石头填充重量。挂蝙蝠，鸟，灯

I buy the white paper lampshades (really cheap) cover one with orange or red tissue and thin wallpaper paste .
保持一个白色并连接纸剪出来的蝙蝠飞行

The spiderweb fibres stretched out . Add a giant spider and a 'victim' . Doll from charity shop, wrapped in asking tape then wind in the spider web

我们有一个吸烟大锅（水蒸气）

Pumpkins - big ones with rows of toothpicks for teeth
Little ones with the plastic vampire teeth in cut out mouths ( I don't put a candle in them) Big ones have an LED candle for safety

A row of jars covered in tissue paper with LED candles



And if you have them , 2 black cats sitting on the windowsill looking spookyandjudgey . (We have them but they're always 'busy')


My DC are adults now so they'll only involve themselves with sampling the sweets .

绒毛我想买一些玩具,给他们吸血鬼teeth but my DD reckoned they'd be "too much"

Still might though if I can find a suitable one ....!

Pinterest is a good place to look for making decorations cheaply. We’re using balloons to make papier-mâché pumpkins that we can paint and varnish so they’ll hopefully last a few years.

@urgenthelpforfriend

Last year I suspended her by a noose inside a cage!

I made some floating ghosts with white light up balloons , a square of old bedsheet threaded over the hanging string and a ghosty face drawn on with thick Sharpie pen. Hang from a tree

Not sure yet
以下想法

@ActonSquirrel

哦，不..我根本不走那条路线...绝对更温柔的私人风格万圣节..而不是我的哥伦比亚特区太年轻的砍刀东西...

Broom sticks, witches hats.. Ruby slippers, pumpkins, bat's.. Gentle ghosts... Eerie green lights... Orange pumpkin lights.....

The hardest we go is a few scary spiders.

It's mostly under ten or just over who go trick or treating around here.. So we don't stop at the slasher type horror houses.

TK Max和Homesense总是有很棒的东西

确切地说。万圣节什么时候变成谋杀受害者？实际上很令人不安

We don’t do slasher-style gore stuff either, but zombies, vampires etc. are definitely in scope. My DC are 5 and 3.

我的僵尸娃娃的灵感来自于我在阿斯达（Asda）看到的一个，但他们不会将其运送到瑞士，所以我自己做了一个。

Pinterest也是一个很好的想法来源。

哦，万圣节线！我进来了。在过去的几周里，我一直从TKMAXX收集万圣节碎片，但是TBH很多人一年四季都呆在外面，因为它们适合我的风格。

到目前为止，我们最好的万圣节派对是几年前，我将房子变成了鬼屋的幽灵火车，随着您的步行走时，我将房子转变为悬挂的蜘蛛，悬挂在网，骨骼，尖叫声和令人毛骨悚然的灯光下。孩子们喜欢它。我想在今年比作同样的事情。乐于吸收此主题上的灵感，并在任何人需要的话上添加我自己的想法！

我每年打扮。我今年的计划是“爱与仇恨之间的一个很好的界限”

我要半黑，红色/粉红色（垂直）

Then I’m going to have life style make up one side and dark style make up on the hate side

实际上很令人不安

It’s Halloween

他们不经常在电影中向僵尸孩子和婴儿展示的原因...

and yet this toddler rocks the zombie look

@ActonSquirrel

Not bizarre in the slightest. Why don’t you get back to OLD and stop trying to sour the tone of a nice, festive thread, eh? Off you pop…
