Halloween is a great holiday for throwing spooky parties, but sometimes you want to be creepy and classy. Our blood-splattered placemats and blood drip table runner are the perfect way to accomplish this (and keep your table safe from messy monsters).
YOU WILL NEED
- White Poster Board
(two placemats will fit on one 24″ x 18″ sheet, so adjust according to how many placemats you need) - Placemat Template (attached at the bottom!)
- Pen
- Scissors
- Dark Red Paint
- Paint Brush
- Roll of Red Paper
(craft, wrapping or otherwise)
Blood-Splattered Placemats
STEP 1
Print out our placemat template, and cut those bad boys out!
STEP 2
Trace the template on the poster board, and cut your placemat out! The poster board gives your placemats much more structure, and a nice gloss finish. Cut out as many as you’ll need for your table!
STEP 3
This is the fun part! Splatter the heck out of these placemats with a deep, dark, red paint. We recommend doing this step on a Monday, or any day where you’re frustrated. It makes it much more gratifying. All done with the placemats!
Blood Drip Table Runner
STEP 1
For the blood table runner, take your red paper, and free-hand a drip design the length of your table, and cut it out.
STEP 2
If you need to piece the paper together to get it to the length of your table, just put a little piece of tape on the back! Now you have a perfect runner backdrop for your placemats.
