Many people have difficulties to imagine what vintage Halloween decorations should look like. How to combine vintage style and Halloween? It is not so difficult. You just need to be creative! On the first place – you can check the flea markets for various old items which would serve you as elements of your Halloween decor. Old picture frames, for example will be a cheap way to set the main vintage theme. Put black and white pictures inside the frames, arrange then on an old table, add spider web and you are ready to go. Make a banner in black and white, burn the edges of the letters and hang the banner in the corridor, above the mantel or on the piano.

One of the easiest vintage Halloween decorations is to use old books. Pile them on one another, add a crow or a skull and you will have a centerpiece without any effort. Glasses, tea cups, coffee mugs – all these can be used as well for serving food and drinks to your visitors. The better if they are cracked! Find old apothecary glass jars and mix cocktails in them or fill them with different ingredients and glue labels for different kinds of poison. Check the gallery below and get inspired!
