4. Die-Cut Cardboard Witch and Moon Wall Hangings
Before vinyl wall decals, there were die-cut cardboard wall hangings. Usually produced by companies like Beistle or Eureka, these double-sided cardboard decorations featured gorgeous, richly saturated illustrations. The most popular design of the 80s featured a classic green-faced witch flying on her broomstick across a giant, vibrant yellow crescent moon. The artwork had a distinct hand-drawn, airbrushed quality that felt deeply artistic. Taped to windows or hung from doorways, these decorations captured the whimsical, storytelling spirit of the decade’s folklore.
