Halloween has long been associated with being dark and scary, but this year it is time to brighten up the holiday. Have a shabby chic Halloween and decorate your home with glitz and glitter instead of ghouls and goblins.

Add some sparkle and shine to some of your favorite Halloween decorations. Instead of carving pumpkins, try the latest pumpkin decorating trend and bedazzle your pumpkin. Paint your pumpkin then add some glitter and jewels. Make your pumpkin stand out.

Next, tackle a new craft and use the excess glitter from your pumpkins to decorate some champagne flutes.

When your champagne flutes are ready, add some sparkle to the inside with a KORBEL “Pink Pom Pom.”
