INSPIRATION and Practical ideas
If you feel like you need some design inspiration for your window, then do check out this selection of examples from previous years
Please remember that your window can be really simple – for example using fairy lights or a light box is totally fine.
The key things to remember are:
Every window needs to include the words ‘Light’ or ‘Love’ or ‘Hope’ somewhere in the design.
Please don’t have anything scary/frightening or linked to Halloween in your display. If you want to use pumpkins; then perhaps carve them with hearts, or the words light, love, or hope - instead of faces.
Your window needs to be lit from approximately 5:30-9:00pm each night. Just pop your light on and leave your curtains open - or maybe use a lamp on a timer if you won’t be in.
If you don’t want people to see into your house, then you can use greaseproof paper or tissue paper to cover your windows or as a backing for your design. You can also use an upstairs window if you don’t want to have a downstairs room lit.
Experience tells us that using sellotape to stick lots of different bits to your window might work well for the actual display, but when you take it down you will be left with lots of glue that needs to be scrubbed off! Most people therefore make their displays on one large sheet and then stick it up.
