Quick and Spooky (and not permanent)

I like to change up my little display of dishes on top of my china cabinet each season. 

Halloween is, of course, no exception.

I din't have much in the way of Halloweenware and I didn't want to spend money buying any so I decided to get out some waterslide decal paper and make my own.

I ordered the decal paper from  Robins Eggcetera and used the clear for this project.  Not too expensive and nice to have around for miscellaneous projects.

I used a platter I already had and a plate from the Dollar Tree.

The gorgeous antique bat image

and the textbook skull image both came from Graphics Fairy and were free.

Cathe at Just Something I Made has some great instructions for making and applying waterslide decals.  She even has some great free (non-Halloween) graphics you can use in your home.

Because bats aren't always appropriate for serveware I skipped the last step in the waterslide decal process and didn't heat cure or seal the decals.  When I'm ready to serve turkey, the decals will come off easily with a little warm water.
