Halloween

I know in the past I have said any event is worth a celebration and getting out the decorations so its hardly surprising that as time has gone by we seem to get more into decorating for Halloween. I know many people say its so American but what the heck its fun. This year I decided to make up the material I bought last year and make some Halloween bunting.

My initial dilemma was what shape to use. I had considered pumpkin shapes bats or spiders but all presented problems. Spiders were too fiddly, bats looked weird in the patterned fabric and how would I secure them to the tape, and pumpkins well they looked a bit like apples and really need the ghoulish faces to look right. I did think I might just stick with pennant shapes but then had the idea for coffin shapes. I know it may seem a bit grim but I think it works. 

What do you think?
