7 Bewitching Halloween Decorations

Create a curtain of ghostly leaves to soften the moonlight.

Directions: Iron bleached preserved oak leaves between two layers of parchment paper using a medium setting. Tape leaves to pieces of monofilament, overlapping as desired. Suspend from window frame to create a curtain effect.

For pumpkins: To hollow, cut a 3-inch hole in the bottom with a serrated craft saw. Scoop out pulp with a large spoon. Draw leaf patterns freehand (or download templates online at digitalcardfun.com) on pumpkins with a grease pencil, etch stems and cut out leaf designs.
