It’s a shame that Halloween is not that big of a deal here in Holland. When I was a little girl we did carve patterns and angry faces in our pumpkins and walked down the streets for treats. But nowadays there are only some bad Halloween parties left and the costumes are even worse! That’s why I like all those crazy (don’t get me wrong, I love you!) American people with their Halloween interiors, Halloween diy projects and Halloween snacks. I’m thinking about carving my own pumpkin again this year. Or at least make some pumpkin soup :)

I found myself (and you) some lovely Halloween inspiration to kick off the weekend!

Love, Sari

Trick or treat Halloween cupcake toppers. Designed by Danny Brito for the girls of A beautiful mess. You can download the Halloween toppers here and start decorating. Enjoy!

Making little Halloween ghosts like my mother did. Using white fabrics (squares), some foam balls, yarn and a needle. These are made by Elsie! I especially love the ones made out of lace fabric.

I don’t have the patience to make nails like these but they are definitely worth a try (and the time!). Find the skull nail tutorial here.

If I’m ever going to attend a big Halloween party this is what I’ll look like. Hopefully. This Dia de los Muertos make-up is absolutely scary yet beautiful! I would love to try a Sugar Skull make-up like this. Takes a lot of time and a lot of practice. I’ll keep you posted ;)

Keep it simple and decorate your table with little pumpkins! Spray paint them silver, gold, black or white. I like these golden ones. Think they look cute in a big bowl.

This one is my absolute favorite! The skull cake pan. How cool! I found this one here on Not Martha and you can find yourself a 3D Skull Cake Pan on Amazon and there’s also a 3D pumpkin pan as well. Happy baking!
