STYLISH SPIDER WEBS
Add a spooky touch to walls with embroidery 'webs'. Mount crocheted doilies onto embroidery hoops then hang on a wall. If the doilies are too small, cut and fasten to linen with a little iron-on tape. Arrange the webs in clusters and dress with spiders of all sizes to scare the unaware! Try Hobbycraft for embroidery hoops.
Crochet doilies, Ebay. Preserved flowers, Dowsing & Reynolds
BEADY-EYED BIRDS
Dress mantles and shelves with faux birds kept under glass for a sophisticated yet sinister look. Perch the bird decorations onto twiggy branches and wire into place. Mini pumpkins and seasonal foliage add to the chilling atmosphere.
For similar cloches, try Lights4fun. Birds and decorations from a selection, Amazon
