Almost time for another halloween season. I really love halloween as I can go totally over the top and totally get away with it.
This year we decided on a Hansel and Gretel Witch party and a large amount of the house was used to create a Witch atmosphere. We created a Witch's Kitchen and included lots of lotions, potions and a large stove. This area kept all the children engaged for hours as they served each other severed fingers, brains and other ghastly morsels.
We created a set of printable tents to label our lotions, potions and body parts. We are offering this range as a free printable to help you create this look.
And yes, I was a very evil green Witch with my youngest children being Hansel and Gretel.
Enjoy Julie
Hansel and Gretel Witch Party
Our kitchen was created by attaching a large amount of crushed velvet to curtains with pegs to form a black background, we then added bookshelves and repurposed an old corner TV unit as an oven.

Wine bottle crates were used to make small shelves around the stove. We included spiders, zombie body parts and very small bottles with dyed water and small pickled onions with a clove stud.

A large cauldron was filled with bones and an over sized wooden spoon. I used a lot of battery tea lights under the red cellophane which glowed nicely at night.
