Do you know the origins of the Halloween party? Halloween is a celebration of Celtic origin. Originally, October 31 was the day of the observance of the Celtic new year. Considered the day with the longest night of the year, ghosts are enjoyed to “cuckoo” with the living. For their part, to protect themselves, people dressed up to scare the ghosts and make them leave. Of our days, less and fewer people believe in ghosts, but the tradition of dressing up continues its existence. In principle, it is mainly in English-speaking countries that this celebration is part of the most traditional customs. However, these days Halloween is invited in France, and several people there take advantage to take part in the fun.

1# Yarn Pumpkins:
When it comes dark, and you are having some after dinner chatting with the family, the lights decorating on that moment should be precious once you use yarn pumpkins to light up the Halloween evening!

Tools:

• Orange cotton Yarn, to be cut 21 pieces each at 36 inches.

• Pipe cleaners
• Glue, 2 ounces.
• It would take 24 hours to dry out

How to DIY Halloween Yarn Pumpkins.

You can use other colors as well, yellow and red are the closest to orange. But the red ones will eventually look like an apple so dismiss it if you do not want that.

1. Blow up your balloons to an equal size. Make sure it’s neither too large for the more yarn you’ll need nor too small for the more egg shape it’ll look.
2. Cut out about 21 wool pieces at 36-inch
3. Begin with the first pumpkin, tie a piece of yarn to the end of a balloon. Then hang it from a handle. Put an old towel underneath to protect your house from draining glue later on.
4. Pour your glue in a small bowl. You can add some corn starch or flour just to give your pumpkins stiffer – Optional
5. Get another yarn piece and dunk it in the glue, swirl it around with a fork.
6. Now hold the end of it and run it between the tines of the fork- To remove the extra glue.
7. Hold that yarn end and wind it around the top of the balloon, press down to secure it till you finish winding all the piece around the balloon.
8. Find somewhere safe to hang all of your pumpkins to dry out- away from children.
9. After 24H, hold the dried yarn carefully and press down on the balloon itself to detach it from the yarn. Do that for the entire surface of it.
   Now make a tiny hole on the knot of the balloon, so the air leaks slowly without ruining your pumpkin.
10. Finally pull the balloon through one of the openings in the yarn, carefully.
    Wrap the pipe cleaners around your baby finger. Tuck the end of it into the yarn- No have to glue

2# Black flowers for Halloween:
Dark flowers would be so compatible with the Halloween theme! So think about having at least one pot or vase with black paper flowers inside the living room. In fact, here is a simple tutorial on how to craft dark Halloween flowers!

Tools:

• A bowl, pot or a vase.

How to DIY black Halloween flowers:

1. Bend an 18-inch floral wire in half, wrap the tape around the bent end.
2. Hold a streamer’s tip without cutting it off the roll yet. Wrap it four times around the wire to create the inner bud.
3. Make sure you’re wrapping it around the wire itself, so it makes a shape of a flower and the petals fan out from the top.
4. Continue till you get a full flower.
5. Finally, cut the roll and secure the flower with floral tape.
6. Repeat until you fill your bowl with blooms.
