It’s hard to find a Halloween theme that isn’t totally played out yet. That’s why we love the fresh theme of today’s party. The trick is simple: start with a black & white colors scheme, then stick Googly eyes on absolutely EVERYTHING (cake, cups, decorations, you name it)…

It’s helpful to have a mix of Googly Eye sizes. The little ones are cute, but the big ones make more of an impact. It’s also fun to experiment with scale. We loved that one giant eye on the disco ball turned it into a sparkly monster (Mike Wazowski!) Or, it’s super spooky to put a bunch of little eyes together on one item  (like that pumpkin.)

Here’s where to get all the supplies we used: big googly eyes, medium googly eyes, small googly eyes, disco ball, cups, plates, festooning, favor bags, metallic straws.
