Make sure the most horrifying time awaits those who sit down at your table!
The ghost
- Cut out the shape of a ghost in fabric, felt or thick paper.
- Tape it to the inside windowpane or pin it on the back of a curtain.
- Give it a backlit effect, day or night, by projecting a light onto the ghost’s back. Effect guaranteed.
The light fixture
- Gather two or three branches to form a bouquet.
- Hang it from the ceiling.
- Attach glass lanterns to the strongest branches.
- Decorate it with spiders, bats and black crows. You can also decorate a chandelier above the table with these little critters.
The tablecloth
- Use a tablecloth or a thick painting canvas or simply two lengths of cloth sewn together. You don’t need to tuck in the cloth.
- Use a stencil in the form of a leaf or cut a leaf shape out of a thick plastic sheet (mylar). That cut leaf then becomes a stencil.
- Using a stencil brush and two-tone acrylic paint, trace the contours of the leaf in a circular motion.
- Wipe off the stencil, place it a bit further on and start over.
- It is important not to saturate the brush with paint. Remove excess paint before starting a circular motion with the brush.
The witch's cauldron
- Place a cast-iron soup tureen on an elevated trivet and slide an atomizer underneath. This little device has a mechanism that, if immersed in water, immediately turns the water into a misty fog.
- Use real or fake foliage to add camouflage around the bottom of the trivet.
