🎃 All treats, no tangles!
Leave the web design to the spiders this Halloween. 🕸️ Skip fake plastic spiderwebs outdoors – they can entangle birds and other wildlife. That’s a fright our native neighbours don’t need!

👻 Get into the spirit without buying new plastic: give old sheets a haunting new role, turn cardboard into creepy creations and bring fabric scraps back from the dead.

Thanks for keeping Halloween spooky, not wasteful – and looking out for our native wildlife. 🦇
