Halloween Charcuterie Board

Impress your friends this fall with a Halloween themed charcuterie board!

I used a skeleton from my halloween decoration lot (most likely from Michael’s originally), gave it a bath for food safe purposes and gently removed his limbs- I was lucky they were in with screws and pins that could be easily removed.

I probably had too much fun with the bath but I mean you can’t be too careful when it comes to food safety!

For the board, I chose sliced baguette, garlic butter, strawberries, grapes, plums, brie, mini mozzarella wheels, sliced pepperoni and various deli meats and garnished with some fresh parsley.

I am declaring that your charcuterie board can be anything you desire however. Just consider the colour choices for aesthetics.

I also made a small plate for those who aren’t ready to embrace the spooky just yet, same ingredients just less skeleton.

Halloween Decorated Tree

Well guys it’s September and 12 degrees celcius which means just one thing. All I can think of is Halloween.

This weekend is going to be full of spooky brainstorming, new ideas for the yard and trying to guess what our Covid-19 situation is going to be like…

Starting off I had a little fun with my indoor decorations and made a little Halloween decorated tree.

Despite my hate for glitter (sticky weird tiny pieces of plastic……..) I decided to decorate some old Christmas balls I had collecting dust in beautiful spooky colours.

Keeping true to the low waste ways, I try to store everything I have safely and dry to prevent damage or mold keeping it for many years- nothing was purchased to make this tree happen so I encourage that if you want to re-create, get creative and take advantage of what you have around the house!

Some of the decorations are between 10-15 years old.

Whelp, if I wasn’t already in the mood for Halloween I certainly am now. This tree is just too cute with the balls and other accessories I’ve collected throughout the years.

If you are planning to make one yourself, be sure to tag me in it or leave a link in the comments! I’d love to see it.
