18 DIY Ideas For A Sophisticated Halloween Soiree
By Dreamer
Lace Pumpkin: For a fancier pumpkin, wrap yours in lace! Simply lay fabric over the pumpkin, cut a hole for the stem, and secure at the bottom with glue or tape (if you’re looking for something more temporary). Love the idea of making mini lace pumpkins too!(Photos: Positively Splendid and Better Homes and Gardens)
Festive Name Cards: A great way of combining a little class with a more playful tone is to make whimsical name cards. So cute! (Photo: The Celebration Shoppe)
DIY Glitter Pumpkin Candle: Love this glittery look! If orange is a little too loud for your soiree, glitter it up with gold and white. (Tutorial and photo: Twig and Thistle)
Pumpkin Table Setting: You can achieve a more general fall vibe with a few Halloween touches by combining pumpkins with gorgeous red and orange leaves, twigs from outside, and other warm hues. (Photos: The High Heeled Hostess)
Dessert Table: An easy way to add a Halloween vibe to a fancier party is at the dessert table. No one can reason a festive collection of treats. (Photo: Amy Atlas)
Treat Bowls: For just a touch of Halloween class, decorate candy bowls using black tape or craft paper and turn them into clear jack-o-lanterns. (Photo: The Celebration Shoppe)
Baker’s Twine Pumpkins: More pumpkins! This time, wrap them up in twine for a soft, country vibe. For this project, cardboard pumpkins were used but you could definitely do this with regular ones. (Tutorial and photo: Crafts Unleashed)
Silver Pumpkins: These couldn’t be simpler! Simply spray paint your pumpkins to create a silvery grayscale scene. (Photos: Better Homes & Gardens and Gordon Gossip)
Sequined and Thumb Tacked Pumpkins: Or go even further and bling them out with sequins and thumbtacks! (Photos: Better Homes & Gardens and Taloola Kids)
Mason Jar Cocktails: You can always count on mason jars to bring your party drinks to a new cuteness level. Love this bright orange drinks with black and white paper straws. (Photo:Amy Atlas)
Pumpkin Party Cooler or Punch Bowl: We’ve already turned a pumpkin into a fondue pot. What goes better with fondue than a pumpkin cooler filled with beers? Could also use as a punch bowl for some mulled cider! (Photos: Martha Stewart)
Ghostly Ceiling Decor: If you’re partying in the outdoors, create some mood lighting by filling a water balloon with water, a glowstick, and then putting it in a stocking. Soooo spooky! (Photo: Hearts of Glass)
Skeletal Ice Cubes: For your cocktails, be sure to mix up some spooky ice cubes. These ones have little plastic skulls and bones in them! (Photos: Not Martha)
DIY Burlap Decor: For a rustic sort of bohemian vibe, try one or all of our burlap decor projects. All you need is black paint, burlap, and a few spiders. (Tutorial and photo: Brit + Co.)
Canning Jar Ring Pumpkin: If you’ve got a bunch of canning rings (mason jar lid rims) laying around the craft room or kitchen, put them to good use with this fun DIY pumpkin.(Tutorial and photo: Simply Klassic)
DIY Spooky Fabric Art: For this project, you can print graphics directly onto fabric, so long as you follow the instructions carefully. Love the vintage look. (Tutorial and photo: Graphics Fairy)
Spider Infested Flora: Finally, when in doubt, you can always add creepy crawly spiders!(Photos: Martha Stewart)
Letterpress Invites: The first way to add a little fancy to your party is to create gorgeous invitations. Letterpress might be a little more involved than you like, but is sure to inspire. (Photo: Oh So Beautiful Paper)
