One more Halloween Decoration Post for 2016!

Even though, Halloween is not widely celebrated in Switzerland, I have decided to have a festive Halloween Party complete with decorations!!  Because the availability of Halloween trimmings is very limited here, it has been necessary for me to come up with a few of my own decorations.   Here is what I created to adorn my front door as an ominous indicator of what may be lurking inside!

The Halloween Tentacles are very simple to make!

What do you need?
Air Drying Clay – Rayher & Crayola make clay that is perfect.  It is nice and light and it comes in many colors!
Large Paper Clips
Wire – I used 22 gauge.  Floral wire will work perfectly!
Wire Cutter
Paint or Tape –  If you wish to embellish your terrifying tentacles!
I find electrical tape is wonderful to use here because it can be stretched a bit to fit tightly around the tentacle! 

Here is a short video showing the entire process!

So many options – sinister stripes, ghastly green, ominous orange…

Have a fabulous Halloween everyone!
