How to Make Halloween: How to Decorate Your House for Halloween

It is worth noting that in Russia the mystical holiday gained popularity not so long ago. Only a few years ago it became fashionable to celebrate this Sabbath, which arose thanks to the Celts. It was they who came up with the idea of ​​celebrating the arrival of winter on the night of October 31 to November 1 and believed that this night was special, mystical.

So, in their opinion, this night the prince of darkness ruled with his subjects and at this time the souls of the dead could visit the earth to meet their relatives. Of course, the spirits at the same time reincarnated and even took the form of animals. Therefore, for the Celts, the main attribute of the holiday was a creepy animal costume.

It was then that it was decided to decorate their homes with various “dark” accessories so that evil spirits could take you for their own and not build intrigues and dirty tricks.

Therefore, a kind of cobweb was hung on the walls, which could easily be made of threads, panicles and accessories made of pumpkin were placed in the corners (scary candlesticks with a terrible grin, unusual vases, bowls), special lamps were hung that could be covered with gauze on top, thus simulating ghosts.

A special “scary” setting and creepy dishes, shaped like severed fingers, eyes or the same heads of the dead (made from small pumpkins), perfectly completed the image and helped to feel the ominous atmosphere of the festive night.

To achieve an ominous setting, it is worth showing imagination and getting creative with the decorating process.

You can use everything that is at hand: pumpkins, autumn leaves, rowan branches, dark curtains and lamps, as well as unusual candles, mirrors and accessories. So, for example, Jack’s lantern or a grinning ominous face can be cut out with the children or purchased ready-made. The only thing worth remembering is that pumpkin crafts are stored for about three days, so they should be cut just before the holiday.

In addition, you can cut out bats or ghosts from dark paper and attach them neatly to curtains or curtains.

By the way, the most daring specially purchase miniature skeletons in stores and place them in prominent places in the living room.

Indeed, when preparing a mystical night, special attention should be paid to accessories, because it is they who will help create the “very” mood and set the tone for the home party.

This year, many designers have released special collections dedicated to the mysterious holiday, among which it is easy to find things that suit your interior and mood.

What to wear

Most people who celebrate Halloween often make one serious mistake when creating their image. They limit themselves. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase a ready-made image or do not have enough time to prepare on your own, do not get upset and skip the party. On sites with ads, for example, on IRR.ru, you can quickly pick up a devil costume, an operated zombie, a Freddy Krueger mask and much more. Don’t forget to add some makeup to your look, though. To do this, it is not at all necessary to register with a professional master. Everything you need can be found in every cosmetic bag: lipstick, pencils and mascara can be used to draw scars or gruesome injuries. It is very important that everything in your “terrifying” bow is organic. So, a Chanel handbag would not go to any nurse. But a huge syringe in his hands – that’s it. Remember, details are what counts.

Among other things, for a party on All Saints’ Day, you need to take care of the correct table setting, as well as dishes and other kitchen utensils that will help maintain the overall holiday atmosphere.

The table itself, by the way, can also be prepared for a mystical night. For example, cover it with a black tablecloth, lifting the edges so that the legs of the table are visible. And each leg must be dressed in long striped knee-highs and old shoes – now you can start serving!

In addition to pumpkins and autumn leaves, a corkscrew for wine in the form of a skeleton, a holder for napkins in the form of a castle with ghosts or bats, special dishes or glasses, napkins, etc. will look great on the festive table.

And of course, what a party without special food and drinks? Halloween food should be simple, delicious, and necessarily scary!

For example, you can make so-called witch’s fingers from cheese sausages, creepy brooms from sausages, eyes from eggs and olives, ghosts from white marshmallows, and cranberry sauce for nuggets and chips can easily replace a bloody mess.

And don’t forget about cookies in the shape of a pumpkin, a witch’s hat, bats, ghosts and other evil spirits! They can be cut using special shapes and painted with colored glaze. Also in the store you can buy ready-made “worm” sweets and carefully add them to festive dishes or drinks.

The bar menu should also be thought out in advance.

Tomato juice poured into special decorated glasses or a decanter with imitation of bloody smudges is suitable for children. Or a fruit punch.

And for older guests, you can prepare original cocktails.

For example, make the traditional Bloody Mary, the Vampire’s Kiss cocktail, or a spooky drink with a Chinese lychee fruit that simulates the eye in a plausible way.

In general, it all depends on your imagination and ingenuity.

It is also worth considering suitable activities for children and adults. After all, the most important ingredient of a great party is a good mood and a desire to have fun.
