During each October, my home always fills with orange and black color decoration. This year, besides the Bat Flying Wall Decor, I have made a set of Halloween coasters to add to my collections; a set of pumpkin, spider, and bat felt coasters.
These felt coasters are easy to make and can be done within an evening. Templates are included for free download and ready to print. So, if you need an urgent coaster for the upcoming Halloween, try this out. .
In order to top up the excitement of the spooky Halloween, there is also an easy recipe to make the Eyeballs Cocktail shown in the picture. With these Halloween coasters, eye-balls cocktail, Jack-O-Lantern cheesecake, and some store-bought treats, now you can call for a last-minute small Halloween party … oh, don’t forget to make a Bats Swarming Wall Decor to surprise your guests.
