Scary Photo Holders

Here are some ways to increase the SCARE factor of your Halloween displays....



Altered some of your instant ancestors to make them witches and warlocks...I used the original photos...

You could use copies...

AND use your vintage game letters to spell out BOO or other Halloween words and stick them in your flower frogs..



Wrap some bottles {old or new} in the black and white pages from old books, add some Scary graphics...

Then turn them into photo holders, of course.

    Cute ideas, especially the bottles. My ancestors already look scary enough--everybody looked mean and unhappy back then :)

    Clever spooky ideas. Halloween is never as big around here as it is in the US. We are just gearing up for our Thanksgiving on the 12th.

    Wonderful ideas!

    I have tried to think outside of the box for my fall decorations this year. I went to the beach last Friday and picked up orange and black shells. I was pleased with the look!
