Paper Halloween Display! Candlesticks

This is our fourth post for Paper Halloween Displays, but don't get spooked... there are still plenty more things to do with paper and displays, and we promise to share!  We will let you ponder witches, paper frames, and black&white.  Keep those on the back kettle burner for now.  This time it's candlesticks, lots and lots of candlesticks that you can make yourself out of... well... YOU know, paper!  Enjoy the pics, and be sure to catch the tutorial and printables at the end of the post.

Paper Halloween Display! The Minimalist.

We have another series, and this time it's Halloween displays using mostly paper and stuff you already have.  Hold onto your witch hats  because this series could go on for at least seven posts.  Today we are presenting a classic, modern, minimalist approach to making a Halloween display.  If this is for you, let us inspire you with these pictures.  Otherwise you could look forward to haunted mansions, black & white, and glamour-like Halloween displays that we promise are coming soon.

` paper chain garland in traditional halloween colors

Just use staples to hold paper chain links together.  It looks fine, and it's SO much faster than glue.  Our strips are 8.5" x 1.5".
