Tapping on the window is a form of decoration that adds a touch of whimsy and charm to any living space. It involves hanging various objects on the exterior of a windowpane to create a visually appealing display. The tradition of window tapping can be traced back to ancient times when it was believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. The practice of tapping witch window decoration has evolved over the years, with people now using a variety of materials and styles to create their personalized displays. Some popular choices include wind chimes, small bells, colorful ribbons, dream catchers, and sun catchers. These objects not only add visual interest but also create beautiful sounds when the wind blows, adding a soothing and melodic element to the surrounding environment.
With this being a direct sequel to the prior entry, knowledge of the first game’s events is fully expected. There is a vague reminiscence on what occurred last game, but its speed makes it difficult to truly be caught up. In the last title, Wilfried defeated the first Witch of Ruin, Erika Anders, and she joined his entourage. Their dynamic alone requires having experienced the first game to appreciate fully.
The Escu de-developed Re;Lord 2 The witch of Cologne and black cat is one such title that manages to defy presumptions and offer a memorable narrative, entertaining character interactions, addictive combat, and a cherry of enticing fanservice.

These objects not only add visual interest but also create beautiful sounds when the wind blows, adding a soothing and melodic element to the surrounding environment. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, tapping on the window is also often seen as a form of self-expression and reflection of one's personality. The objects chosen for window decoration may have sentimental value or symbolize specific beliefs or interests, allowing individuals to showcase their taste and individuality to the outside world.
3 Whimsical Halloween Tables + A Gardening Project That Ended With A New Tablecloth
Welcome to the 786th Tablescape Thursday! I have not one, but three delightful Halloween tables to share with you today! BNOTP readers are so creative and I know you’ll find these tables as imaginative and fun as I did.
Recently, Norma, who lives in the south of France, was having some extensive landscaping and structural work done in her garden that required some very large equipment. Would you ever think a new tablecloth would come out of a large-scale gardening project? Ha! Norma said, “You won’t believe this, but when the men were working on the garden, they were using a tablecloth to cover some of their machines when they finished for the day. I saw it and when I said I liked it, they gave it to me. It was covered in mud and other stains, but it washed beautifully. I think they thought I was mad when I got so excited about it!” Ha! Now that is definitely a unique way to acquire a new tablecloth! I love that story!
Norma said the tablecloth is covered with stars and zodiac signs. It works quite well with her spooky Halloween table setting. Regarding each place setting, Norma said, “I made the napkins a few years ago. The name of the fabric design is ‘Ghoul’s Night Out’ which I thought very amusing. The black hexagonal plates were from our local charity organization, they have no hallmark. The glass chargers also came from there. I got 8 for next to nothing, while I know they are very expensive. I have seen similar on eBay.”
Love this big candelabra! I’m stealing the idea of perching a crow on the candelabra–love that!
About this large green bottle, Norma said, “The large bottle was given to me by a friend who has an old house here in France. She found it in her cellar and knowing how I like odd things, thought of me. It is perfectly stained inside for this sort of decor! I just added the label. She has no idea what it once contained.”
I asked Norma how she created her spooky glowing cauldron. She said, “I was trying to make the cauldron look as if it had a fire underneath it with red battery lights. I put the green lights under some of that stretchy cobweb stuff that you can buy and pull apart to make cobwebs.”
Here’s how the cauldron looks with the lights off–very spooky and perfect for Halloween. Thanks so much to Norma for sharing her Halloween table for this year!
Now, we’re off to Kathy’s for some Halloween fun! Kathy shared her delightful table with me and I’m having serious FOMO over her black and orange Buffalo check tablecloth! I have the napkins, I think I need the tablecloth, too! (Buffalo-check napkins are available here: Buffalo Check Napkins. I found a Buffalo Check tablecloth in orange and black here: Buffalo Check Tablecloth, and I think these are the matching napkins here: Buffalo Check Napkins. I really like the placemats at that link, too!
Love the spider napkin rings! I found similar spider napkin rings here: Rhinestone Spider Napkin Rings.
The centerpiece is hysterical! This would also be a great table if you’ll be entertaining little ones…nothing too scary, just lots of Halloween fun!
A closer view of the candelabras…
Kathy added some Halloween fun to her china cabinet/hutch, too. I like the spiderweb apron.
I love Kathy’s table but I was really blown away by how she decorated her kitchen for Halloween! How clever is this?! Thanks so much to Kathy for sharing her Halloween table and decor…love it all!
Now, we’re off to Elena’s to see how she’s preparing for her Halloween entertaining this year!
Elena took inspiration for her table from Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, The Raven. I love that theme for a Halloween table! (Elena found her spiderweb tablecloth here: Spiderweb Tablecloth and her napkin rings here: Black Mesh Napkin Rings.)
Love the salad plates Elena chose for her Halloween table! Elena said, “The salad plates are 222 Fifth Ave and the dinnerware is Mikasa Italian Scenery that I purchased so I could use my dining room more often. They go right in the dishwasher, unlike my old ones that I have to hand wash. Now I need some wash and dry tablecloths!”
Elena did something really unique in her table that I’ve never thought of doing, but now I definitely want to try it! Elena said, “I used sterling candle sticks that were tarnished and silver plate flatware that was tarnished, also!” I love that idea–using tarnished silver. How perfect is that for Halloween! I have some silverplate flatware that I almost never use. I should take it out and let the handles get good and tarnished for next year. Ha!
Here’s a neat little trick Elena shared that I think you’ll find helpful. Elena said, “I also wanted to share a little trick–whenever my plates are wobbly, I use a doily in between and they don’t move! I use it a lot with my antique plates and new glass chargers. I don’t know if it is the old plates or the glass chargers but they always wobble!
Elena said, “The Raven in the antique cage has been with me for years.”
“The raven standing on the silver skull came from TJ Maxx. The claws were over-sprayed with silver so I touched it up with craft paint. The book on the stand came from Michaels, as is.”
“The large book was from there, as well (Michaels) but the skeleton hands and the edge of the book were bright white, so I sponged and dry-brushed them darker and added some gold to the edges of the book.” Elena is super creative and incredibly talented with crafting. I have something wonderful to share very soon, a project that she’s just finished that really highlights how talented she is! I hope to share it early next week, so keep an eye out for that post coming up soon.
I’ll leave you with this Raven’s-eye view of Elena’s Edgar Allan Poe-themed Halloween table. Happy Halloween!

Well-surrounded and supported by her friends, Mikaela put the past behind her and looked at life in a new light. She was excited to try new things and discovered storytelling as an outlet. Her friends liked her stories of daunting danger and hard-earned survival. She read horror stories more and more, savouring the powerful, heart-pounding escapism it provided. Autumn become her favourite season and she threw a grand production for Halloween every year, hosting all her friends for a thrilling night of horror stories, scary games, and homemade treats.
When it comes to hanging the objects, there are various methods and techniques to choose from. Some prefer to directly attach the items to the window frame using suction cups, hooks, or adhesive strips. Others opt for hanging them from rods or poles attached to the window or suspending them from nearby trees or fences. The choice of method often depends on the size and weight of the decorations, as well as personal preferences and the type of window being decorated. Overall, tapping on the window with decorative objects is a delightful way to enhance a living space and express one's creativity. Whether it's a delicate wind chime softly tinkling in the breeze or a vibrant tapestry of colorful ribbons dancing in the sunlight, the sight and sound of these window decorations evoke a sense of joy and wonder. So, why not try your hand at tapping on the window and transform your living space into a whimsical and enchanting haven?.
Reviews for "DIY Tapping Witch Window Decorations: Create a Frighteningly Fun Look"
1. John - 2 stars - I found "Tapping Witch Window Decoration" to be quite underwhelming. The design was not as striking as I had hoped, and the quality of the materials used was subpar. The motion sensor that was supposed to activate the tapping motion didn't seem to work properly, and the tapping sound was extremely faint and barely noticeable. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I regret purchasing the "Tapping Witch Window Decoration". The product arrived with several defects, including loose wires and a broken motion sensor. Despite trying to troubleshoot and fix the issues, I was never able to get it to work properly. Additionally, the design of the witch itself was not as detailed or vibrant as it appeared in the product photos. I was extremely disappointed and would advise others to look for better alternatives.
3. David - 2 stars - I had high expectations for the "Tapping Witch Window Decoration," but unfortunately, it fell short. The tapping motion was quite weak, and the noise it made sounded more like a faint clicking rather than any noticeable tapping. The installation process was also quite frustrating as the suction cups provided didn't hold the decoration securely on the window. The overall effect was not as impressive as I had hoped for, and I would not recommend this product to others.
