“Happy Halloween” with Love

Hello, dear friends!

We have a little more time before Halloween, so we should hurry up.

It is really nice to spend the holiday with friends and family. It’s supposed to be that way, that’s why the holidays are. But what about the people we love and they are not around. We would like to make everyone happy, so the decoration for today is about those people.

In our modern world, we are not sending so many postcards anymore. But we always find that very polite and nice. It is somehow more personal than just a text massage. To feel the paper, to see the hand writing, even the smell. It is like a personal touch from the people we love.

Normally people send postcards for Christmas, birthday or when they are on vacation. Like Halloween it is not so much about this. But why not?! If that will make someone smile?!

So that is what we will do today- Halloween postcard :)

Thanks for the Jack and his pumpkin; we connect that holiday with that wonderful color orange. So let’s make our postcard in different nuance, of that so traditional for that time of the year, color. 

All we need is: paper, glue, button, black ribbon, black markers, inspiration and imagination.

First we make a little labels saying “Happy Halloween” on a dark orange paper.

Second we cut two circles, from to different nuances of the orange. Not too big, but one bigger than the other. Glue it one for another. Than we glue the button on the orange circles. We will use that button as a body of spider. Draw some legs on our “spider”. He has to walk, right :). Cut one more circle but from black paper, a little bigger than the other two. Use the scissors that make waves. Glue it as a basis on our spider.

Then take the cardboard that you will use as a postcard, we use black. Fold it on two, prepare and dark orange paper, and for the top light orange paper. On the light orange paper draw a spider web. Or just print some from internet :).

Now it is time to put everything together. 

On the black paper we glue dark orange paper, after that light orange with spider web. Glue the spider and decorate with black ribbon, glue and the labels near to spider. And our Halloween postcard is ready. Only you left to do is to write down a few nice words to the people you love. But that is the easy part, right :)?!

Have a nice day everyone, and enjoy life :)
