My kids love decorating pumpkins so we decided to create a set of Day of the Dead inspired pumpkin candle holders which we decorated with flowers and candles as the focal point for our Day of the Dead Altar. Some families build altars or small shrines in their homes; [23] these sometimes feature a Christian cross, statues or pictures of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pictures of deceased relatives and other people, scores of candles, and an ofrenda.

In some locations, celebrants wear shells on their clothing, so when they dance, the noise will wake up the dead; some will also dress up as the deceased.

Adhesive: if you use natural flowers you will need floral adhesive to attach them to the pumpkins. Floral adhesive , also known as floral glue, is typically waterproof and safe for use with fresh flowers. If you are using artificial flowers and artificial pumpkins you can use hot glue or a craft glue, such as E6000 to attach them to your pumpkin. If you are using artificial flowers and a real pumpkin using glue dots can be a good option.

It was moved from the beginning of summer to late October—and then to early November—so that it would conicide with the Western Christian triduum (or three-day religious observance) of Allhallowtide (Hallowtide, Allsaintide, or Hallowmas).
