I love making things by hand. But I’m also quite happy to buy a little fun and this year, that meant hanging witch hats and floating candles above our dining table.

With the pumpkins we carved glowing underneath, our everyday dinner spot feels a little more magical.

Homemade traditions don’t mean everything in your home has to be homemade. You can grow the pumpkins, carve them together, and still order the candles. There’s room for both.

The decorations are fun, but it’s the carving, the setting things up together, and the “remember when we did this last year?” that I want to keep.

Want to try it at your house? You’ll find the hanging witch hats here and the floating candles here. Remember to get a couple of boxes of each if you want to decorate a large area.

Keep the boxes and pack them away afterward Halloween, bringing them out next October might become its own little tradition.
