Last minute Halloween decor

Halloween definitely is not as in-your-face in Denmark so I hadn't thought much about decorating until I saw my old friend, Nicole, and her simple Halloween DIY's on her blog and I thought, bingo. She has three great tutorials, but I decided to recreate one so that it would act more as our curtains (and a bit spider-web looking) since I still haven't made curtains in our place. Get her full instructions here and my own take below.
Once you've cut out a gazillion odd-shapped paper triangles in a few different colored paper blacks (to give it dimension) hot glue a dot on each end of the top of the triangle and then just keep on going.
So easy right? I'd love to put them en masse everywhere outside too, but I'm afraid Danish weather will put that to a stop immediately. I have one more DIY coming up later today, just in time for a crafty weekend!

Wow, it's looking quite Halloween-y over in your part of Copenhagen. I, on the other, still haven't carved the pumpkin I bought ages ago. Did you guys get to check out the Halloween decor in Tivoli?

Nice.
If you want to go crazy, you could laminate the paper before hand to make it weather-proof.
