Early Halloween Party

We just moved to a new house, and so I've decided to invite a few friends and do a Halloween Party.

I wanted to not use money as much as possible, so the materials I've used to decorate the house are the ones that we already had. :)

The first photo, "BOO" was made with old cardboard and washi paper roll from daiso. 

Just cut the cardboard into letters, and roll it with washi paper! :)

I was supposed to do something to hang on our front door, but I realized that there wasn't anything to hang it to, so I just sticked it to the wall that you first see when you open our front door. I recommend you put something with impact as it's the first thing that the guests will see. I also recommend to use softer cardboard so it'll be easier to cut, if you can find any.

So the second was just a free printable I saw on the internet. I wanted to add a bit of spookiness and I found this design. Sorry for the poor photo, that says "BEWARE" by the way. I lost the link but I'd post it as soon as I find them. You just need to click on the letter and print, so you can print out any words or phrase that you want. You can stick it like what I did, or make it into a garland too. 

The garland I made was just cut colored paper on nylon strings, and white trash bags cut into a long strip. I was too lazy to cut them into moon, bats, and pumpkins, like what I first thought of, so I just cut them into circle, square and triangles. If you're feeling crafty and have the time, I definitely suggest you do it and not let laziness win! Haha.

I cut a few bats and tied them to add a more halloween touch, but maybe you won't need them if you made the garland properly, unlike me. :p 

Lastly, that one was just newspaper. Thank God I found sample english newspapers in this house or that would have been in Japanese! Lol. Nah, I might have printed out something on the internet and wasted printer ink, instead.

I am posting the food that we cooked for this party, next! :)
