Simple yet elegant Halloween decor

This year I made the decision to simplify my Halloween decorating. Trust me, I have Halloween bins stacked high full of decorations and costumes going back to my childhood, but not only is life very busy right now, I’m really starting to enjoy the “less is more” approach when it comes to holiday decor (at least for now). I also have a goal to never let my inner child disappear, so I’m constantly working on craft projects or tasks that let “Little Linda” show up every now and then.

I spent a cool Autumn morning by the fire, crafting a few paper Halloween masks and costumes for our adopted ancestors, three of which are in our dining room. Below is a link to my YouTube channel showing how I created these simple Halloween decorations that I think are perfect for our antique New England home.
