   Create a unique table scape this fall for your dining room table that will be sure keep any guests you have over talking about it for days! With our Vintage Beistle products we can help you to create an eerie, yet charming layout for your dining room table or for a Halloween party table. This table scape combines several of our Vintage Beistle products and a few of our other Beistle products from partycheap.com. To create this festive table you will need: Halloween String Banner(01972), Halloween Tabletop Stand-Up (01541), Halloween Cat Favor Boxes (01196),Cauldron Tea Light Holder (00135), Spooky Cloth (00180), Black Table Cover (50940-BK), Vintage Halloween Plates (08002), Vintage Halloween Luncheon Napkins(08102), Black Hot/Cold Cups (QN56134B). All of these products can be found at partycheap.com.

  Choosing to use our solid black table cover is optional. If you are planning to leave this arrangement set up in your dining room we suggest that you skip the table cover and just use our Spooky Cloth as a table runner. However, if you are planning to use these table decorations for a Halloween party or event the table cover may be a good idea to keep your tables clean. Whether you are using the table cover or not next you will want to lay the Spooky cloth down the center of the table like a table runner. Take the Halloween String Banner from it's package next and assemble it by following the directions on its package. Once the banner is all strung up together evenly you can decide where to hang it. If the table you are decorating is in your dining room perhaps across your dish hutch or over and door ways. If you are decorating for a party then this banner would look great strung up right behind the table like in the pictures below. Next, you can set up the Halloween Tabletop Stand-Up decor by folding it and placing it in the center of the table. Depending how big of the table is you are decorating you may want to get two of our Cauldron Tea lights holders two place on both sides of the Halloween Tabletop Stand-Up. Next you will want to go a head and set the table with our Vintage Halloween Luncheon Plates, napkins and our hot/cold cups. If you are decorating a lovely wood table we suggest getting our Halloween Coasters to save your table from cup marks and add to the Vintage Beistle decor. After the table has been set you will want to open our Halloween Cat Favor Boxes. They aren't assembled in the package so you will need to follow the directions and put them together. They make great little favor boxes to pass out to your guests. However, if your decorations are only for your family to enjoy then consider using these as more decor on the table or little candy boxes for your kids. Your table's decor will be ready to go in a short amount of time. Make sure to check out our Vintage Beistle selection at vintagebeistle.com or partycheap.com to see what else you need for your Halloween decorations.

DIY Skeleton Candy Coffin

Halloween is the time for decorating your house in a scary and creepy manner. Many of us throw Halloween parties where we dress up with our friends in costumes. But how do you thank your friends for showing up to your party? You give them a party favor of course.


The designs for the Vintage Beistle Products are very old and not everything we have planned is made yet (expect even more products next year). So far the launch and demand for our products has been above our expectations. In order to say thanks we created a DIY Halloween Party Favor,  The Skeleton Candy Coffin  . The design is simple and easy to fold, once it's cut out.




Just print it out, cut it, and glue/tape it together, and of course stuff it with candy and treats. If the design looks confusing don't worry we have instructions you can download in the product description to guide you through the process. All you have to do is follow this link and click download.  In the future we are going to add an entire Do It Yourself page to the Vintage Beistle Website so be on the look out for new DIY projects and ideas. We would love to hear from you, so leave a comment down below or on the Vintage Beistle Website.

Vintage Beistle

The Beistle Company has been around for over 112 years and their decorations, cutouts, and centerpieces have been a staple of decorating for the holidays for many years. Your parents and grandparents have grown up with these decorations and now VintageBeistle.com is bringing some of these iconic designs back into production. The vault to the archives has been opened, and some of the most popular and sought after products are now being re-introduced. Even some items that have rarely been seen in over a hundred years have been re-photographed, cataloged and ear marked to be reproduced into the Vintage Beistle line.

In the first attempt of its kind, The Beistle Company is launching the first Vintage Beistle product line solely online. The Halloween Collection is to be released first with more seasonal holidays to come. These products will be sold on VintageBeistle.com in limited quantities to gauge customer interest and find the most popular items before being massed produced and released to the general public and retail chains. So, no you will not be able to find these products at your local store just yet!

Some of the best artwork was produced in these early years and it is no wonder why so many collectors have valued some of these original products at astronomical prices. Some of the antique pieces when in great condition, can go for several hundred dollars on eBay. This is amazing since my grandmother would tell me stories about when she was a kid, she would purchase a single cutout for a dime at the local hardware store. Vintage decorations have been making a come back and are increasingly being sought after. The classic look and vintage designs are being requested by customers more often than the cheap foil decorations being made now. The Vintage Witch designs, Jack-O'-Lantern, and Classic Spooky Cat are very reminiscent of every one's childhood and they want that look and feel back. A lot of these classic Halloween collectibles were originally produced in the 1930s and 1940s.
