16. Haunted Portrait Silhouette Frames
Create a gallery wall of spooky ancestors with Haunted Portrait Silhouette Frames. Cut classic Victorian cameo silhouettes from black-painted brown paper bags and mount them onto aged, tea-stained paper backdrops. The slight texture of the brown paper gives the silhouettes a velvety, high-quality depth that standard construction paper cannot match. Frame them in ornate, thrifted frames painted in matte black.
To add a Halloween twist, you can give the silhouettes subtle, creepy details upon closer inspection—such as a small pair of vampire fangs, a pointed witch’s nose, or a subtle skeleton jawline. It is a brilliant, subtle way to decorate your home with a touch of dark humor and classic style.
