As any good interior designer will tell you, setting a mood in a space is all about the lighting. The ambiance. The atmosphere. Well, I’m not sure if they had this kind of ambiance in mind, but I do have a spooky lighting idea to share with you today that will definitely set a mood. Bwa ha ha ha ha!
All you need to make this creepy creation is a glass lantern and a little wall vinyl. This lantern is from IKEA, and the cute pumpkin vinyl is from Stampin’ Up!
For this design, you’ll want to cut the pumpkin faces out so that you have three separate faces to work with (vs. a single stack of three). Adhere faces to three of your four lantern sides and insert an orange candle for an instant and original Halloween decoration. (For detailed instructions on adhering your vinyl, check out this post on my blog.)
Check out the creepy shadows the faces cast. It’s so frightfully fun!

hi…I am still new at crafting,etc.This would be a wonderful chance to try working with vinyls..
magnificent publish, very informative. I ponder why the other specialists of this sector don’t realize this. You must continue your writing. I’m sure, you have a great readers’ base already!
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you simply can do with some % to power the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
