There have been spooky things happening at my house recently: Crows cawing, moss creeping, and mice scurrying along the old piano. It’s just enough to make you want to shout, “Happy Halloween!”
The spookiness has been so much fun that I made this banner using the Haunted™ Line. The instructions and pattern are below for you to download.
Another sweet creepy but easy Halloween project is just to tie pieces of Haunted™ paper with twine to dried branches. It’s cheap, easy, and chic all at once. Who knew Halloween could be chic?
Be sure and download the Halloween Banner tutorial below (all you will need is one pack of Haunted™, hot glue, black tissue paper, black ribbon, and black construction paper…it’s a whole lot of black:). I also have Illustrator files for those of you with a cutting machine. See below to download.
So what will I be working on next? My daughters have decided to be Sailor Moon (yes both of them) and I will be recreating a pair of red, white and blue outfits (hmmm, sounds patriotic). Let’s hope (for my sake) they don’t change their minds.

Thanks, Carina – these are awesome!
Fun design. Thanks for sharing. I can download pdf file but NOT illustrator files. Something I’m doing wrong????
thanks for sharing…awesome banner!
Hmm, that’s odd that you are having trouble downloading it. I just checked them and they are working fine. Maybe try again?
I downloaded the files. Thanks. So cute but I was wondering about the Illustrator files. I do not have Adobe Illustrator so I don’t know if I can open those files or not. Will they open okay in PSE or are they just for Illustrator? Thanks.
I have tried on AOL and internet Explorer to download this great banner. It just won’t do it. help
I just made this banner. I made a few changes. I loved how it turned out. Thanks for the fantastic project! Your instructions were so clear and I loved the pictures of what it’s supposed to look like.

I love this display! The little mice are so cute!
Where is the pdf file located? I don’t Illustrator so can’t open that file. But I can’t find the pdf file either! Please help! I want to create this for Halloween!!
