Martha Stewart: Now encouraging spider webs.
Yes, she's usually the one holding the antique French albino ostrich duster while explaining that it's a good thing to keep spiders out of your house with handmade pomanders. But now Martha Stewart is actually encouraging you to have windows full of spiderwebs.

And witches. And vampires. And bats. Even rats. All right in time for Halloween.

[don't miss a truly fun Martha Stewart giveaway after the jump!]
The new Halloween decor by Martha Stewart Crafts are a fun and temporary way to decorate for the spookiest season. The vinyl clings for walls and windows can be stuck, restuck, and reused year after year, and the witches and haunted houses are decently sized at around two feet each. For the tiny and easily terrified, try the Mischievous Set. Or grab the black spider and bat silhouettes and suspend them in a cloud of twinkly gem eyes to terrify-- or possibly mesmerize-- your guests. And kids, too.

Of course my favorite set of clings, the graveyard, is sold out. But the entire collection is exactly what we expect from Martha Stewart Crafts -- smart design and lasting quality that beats the vampire pants off the cheap, plastic-bag door covers from the grocery store.

I especially love that everything is is chic enough to match any decor. These clings are sure to become the little black witch dress of Halloween decorating.~Delilah

Find Halloween Decorations at Martha Stewart Crafts from our affiliate, Amazon. Several of the larger clings are part of a buy-3-get-one-free deal.

Congratulations to Amy W, lucky winner of the Martha Stewart Halloween pack!
