Although shops are bursting with Halloween centrepieces, decorations and jack-o-lanterns; making a few decorations with your own hands certainly gives to the festival its magical touch.

Halloween centrepieces are easy to make and are also cost effective. Here are a few tips and tricks for the recipe of making such decorative pieces.

Before delving into the project of preparing Halloween crafts and centrepieces, it would be useful to acquire some background information about the festival.

Pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, skeletons, witches, bats, demons, corn husks and scarecrows are common elements that feature the Halloween theme. Black and orange colours are most widely used.

You may learn and apply innovative designs to your pumpkin carvings, make spooky jack-o-lanterns and prepare some craft Halloween decorations like Halloween wreaths, door hangers, Halloween jewellery, Halloween photo frames, Halloween floral arrangements and the list is unending.

The following is a short write up on how to make easy Halloween centrepieces which are innovative as well as quick to prepare.

A Halloween Flower Vase

To make a Halloween flower vase all you need is a medium sized pumpkin, a pillar candle and fresh or artificial flowers.

Trace the candle base on the top of a medium sized pumpkin. Scoop out the portion traced till the pumpkin base so that the candle can fit into it. If you feel that the candle is dwindling or the shape scooped out is bigger than the candle then a good idea is to place a cup or glass into the pumpkin and then set the candle in it.

Arrange some fresh flowers around the candle. You may even use artificial ones for the pumpkin vase.

Adorn your table with this skilfully home-made Halloween floral arrangement.

Halloween Placemats

To make your Halloween placemats, you need a set of old placemats, Black or orange paper sheets (handmade or any craft paper), Halloween themed items like spiders, cobwebs and so on.

Cover the placemats with the black or orange sheets using scissors and tape or any adhesion you may consider easy. Stick on the Halloween items on them to give the scary spooky effect to your dinner table.

Halloween Hats

To make your ultimate spooky evil hat, all you need is your previous year’s black pointed hat and a few Halloween items as mentioned above like spiders, false fingers, cob webs and so on.

You need to stick the above on to the hat and place it on table as a centre piece. If you are throwing a Halloween party then the hats can be distributed to each of your guests as a Halloween take- away.

What is even wonderful is that the same hat can be re-used during thanksgiving replacing the Halloween themed items with items of the fall.

All the best in making this Halloween the scariest and deadliest of all! Happy Halloween!
