Reproduction Beistle Decorations Review Part 1

My box arrived last week filled with old fashion Halloween goodness.
Jointed scratch cat made me very happy as my original looks like it has been in a few cat fights. This copy will replace the vintage cat since he is too fragile to display.
The skull cut outs look much better in person. Really nice crisp graphics. With a hole punched at the top these guys would look great as a garland or tied to a black wreath.
The 2 fortune games are stunning. They are double sided decorations that stand when the bottom is pushed down flat. Then they fold again for easy storage. They both have spinning parts that work great. The packaging headers on all the pieces are nice with hanging holes. If you wanted to keep your decorations bagged you could still hang them for display. There were more goodies so stay tuned for part 2. All these treats were purchased here.

Wow, these are all so amazing! Definitely love the fortune telling games the most, though!

Thanks for the review of the Beistle goodies :) I love your idea of turning the skulls into a garland! Clever :)

Great finds! I love those old fortune telling games. I visited that vintage Halloween site, and that might be a very dangerous place for me. I felt tempted to buy everything there!
