Thread: What's with all the glitter??!

Tweet

It seems like all the Halloween decor I've seen this year is glittery, ugh! It used to be just some Martha Stewart stuff at Michael;s, but now it seems everyone, even Party City has gotten into the act. I suppose it has it's place, but I prefer more scary type decor, and it's really hard to be scary and glittery at the same time, lol!

I was thinking the same things yesterday at Target. They have glittery pumpkins, skeletons, and wreaths. They also have glitter candlebras at Lowes. It might be alright if they were like black and orange, but the pink, blue, and emerald greens not so much.

I blame the Twilight series....don't they glitter???

I love the glittery decorations. They don't fit my outdoor haunt, but I could certainly see decorating with them. Home Goods has rather large (3 feet, maybe) inexpensive glittered skeletons in pink, green, and gold that I want.

Then again, I love glitter in winter decorations and was raised in a family addicted to rhinestones and sequins. I've been conditioned to like all things sparkly.

Ive seen this trend year after year......the props keep getting less and less scary and more and more cutesy. Give me blood and guts over glitter anyday.

I love the glitter!!! I have to agree though, I saw the candelabras at Lowes...and I don't like the pastel colors...not very Halloween.

Christmas can sparkle, not Halloween.

tuck, ur twilight comment is hilarious!

a little sparkle isn't too bad if you're having say, a dinner party, or pairing it with the correct lighting. Something that is black and glittery would look pretty cool washed in blue lighting. But just a little sparkle; two, maybe three items here and there.

I got some candelabras at lowes they are black glitter.I wouldn't use them as my haunt decor but will for either the party or in my home.You have to remember that alot of what is sold in stores is geared toward cutesy style for regular decoraters.We are different than them so that is why we buy items and do them to fit our haunts.We are not their target audience as most of us build our own props.Last yr walmart had the glitter skellys on clearance wish I had got them.I am sure i could have corpsed them lol.
