Here’s another bunch of random stuff I’ve found which I want to share but might not be able to hang a whole post on. Some of them have no attribution, so if you happen to know the source for any of these please leave a note in the comments. (Click to view larger.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Bat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nBat Cake Pops<\/b>
\n
\nThis kit is by wholesaler BrandCastle and is available at Amazon<\/a>. The price is fairly reasonable, but if you wanted to DIY them (or make more than the kit contains), you could use Bakerella’s<\/a> cake pop guide and print the little paper wings on a computer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ouija<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nOuija Board Placemats<\/b>
\n
\nThese are available on Etsy<\/a>, but they seem to be just a plastic-laminated paper printout. A set of fancier ones made with custom-printed fabric (or embroidered if you’re feeling really ambitious) would be a great hostess gift.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Chandelier\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nGhostly Chandelier<\/b>
\n
\nNeither Google Image Search nor TinEye could find any matches for this, so I have no idea where it came from. The kindly-looking specters appear to be soft-sculpture of some kind. It’d be a heck of a room accent. (Hat tip to Kathy)<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Spider<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSpider Slippers<\/b>
\n
\nVirtually every site with this picture is a humor aggregator, so I can’t provide an original source. I desperately want these to be a real thing, but I’m pretty certain they’re just a ‘shopped photo of a real tarantula with added googly eyes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Vulturemingoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nVulturemingoes<\/b>
\n
\nThese altered lawn flamingoes are by Halloween Forum member Tannasgach<\/a>. I’m sure they’re meant to be a Halloween yard decoration, but if it wasn’t for their neck ruff being fragile I’d be happy to leave them up year-’round.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Zombie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nZombie Pincushion<\/b>
\n
\nThis easy felted pincushion was made by Craftster member Supervelma<\/a>. If you aren’t a fan of zombies, you could use a simple gravestone instead.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Petal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nPetal Pumpkins<\/b>
\n
\nThese are sold by Grandin Road<\/a> and like so much Grandin Road stuff they are insanely<\/i> expensive (originally $99 each, now on clearance for $59; oh my stars) and highly DIY-able. This is like, half an hour with a fake pumpkin, a bunch of silk flowers, and a glue gun.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ghost<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nGhost Caught on Tape<\/b>
\n
\nThis made me laugh and I’m not even going to apologize.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Bat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nMini Batty Cheese Balls<\/b>
\n
\nThese are the cutest li’l party snacks ever. There’s a recipe here<\/a>, but you could substitute whatever kind of cheeselike substance you want. The blue-corn tortilla chips make great wings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Eye<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nLatest News from the Year 1732 and 1733<\/b>
\n
\nThis is a work by German artist Hubertus Gojowczyk<\/a>. It’d also make a darn fine spellbook prop and should be reasonably DIY-able with a thrifted book, a pair of taxidermy eyes, and an Xacto knife.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
