diy project: harmless monsters
Written by designfolder on October 30, 2009 – 1:56 am -
Like our manananggal shadows, these candleholder covers are inspired by a craft project we saw at marthastewart.com (we’re Martha fans!). Follow these steps and make your halloween party extra special:
1) On a sheet of tracing paper, draw your own harmless monsters with a pentel pen. You can download our template for reference. You can also print our template on tracing paper but this produces smears and blotches.
2) After the ink has dried, wrap the paper around the glass candleholder. Cut off any excess paper then secure it on the candleholder with double-sided tape.
3) Light the candle and you’re done.
A few of these plus bowls of candy and you have a fun trick-or-treat centerpiece. Have a happy and harmless halloween!

diy project: manananggal in the city
Written by designfolder on October 27, 2009 – 12:55 am -
We absolutely loved this craft project from marthastewart.com so we decided to make a local version for our halloween DIY. Create your own scary manananggal shadows with these few simple steps:
1) Draw a silhouette of a manananggal on a black cardboard. If you are not that confident with your artistic skills, you can just download and print the template that we made.
2) For the stand, cut a 6-inch long wire. Loop both ends, one to hold the card figure and the other to loop around the lip of the candleholder.
3) Use a votive that is taller than the candle to keep the cutout away from the flame. Adjust the position of the manananggal to make the shadows look bigger or smaller.
Advanced Happy Halloween from the Design Folder team!
