I have less than a week to come up with a fabulous Thanksgiving tablescape and decor. I just reposted what I did last year, hoping to inspire someone out there in blogland, but also hoping to inspire myself. Just yesterday I was telling my friend Betsy that I needed Creative Defibrillator paddles to shock me into […]
The Last Pumpkin of the Year. (Make a frosty pumpkin for your winter decor.)
I refuse to decorate for Christmas prior to December 1st and I usually have a small fortune invested in real pumpkins each fall season (so I don’t want to just toss them…yet.) Here’s an easy way to take your fall pumpkins into winter. Create frosty winter pumpkins while you wait for December.
Spray painted metallic pumpkins. (Take Halloween pumpkins into Thanksgiving.)
I know Halloween is over, but don’t toss out the pumpkins!!! OK, jack-o-lanterns should all be gone by now, but any whole pumpkins you have laying around can carry you through Thanksgiving and into the first couple of days in December. You can make these shimmery metallic pumpkins by breaking the spray painting rules.
Spray paint takes Halloween into Thanksgiving…
I usually hate my mantel, but for Halloween I was pretty happy with it. I really liked all of the elements and the balance the large Raven artwork helped to create for the champagne bucket full of black sticks. Obviously I can’t leave the Raven up there, so I will need to find something else […]
Turn Dollar Store beverage napkins into easy Halloween hurricanes.
Well, not entirely out of beverage napkins. There are a couple other things too. I’m getting ready for our Halloween party on Saturday night and I love lots of candles at my parties. On the tables… on chandeliers… in the yard… everywhere. I have a bunch of empty jars, and while I would normally just […]
More Pumpkin foolishness…. Necktie Pumpkins
Today we’re recovering pumpkins with neckties! I picked up a couple of neckties at Goodwill that I thought would fit in with my Halloween decor. I used a seam ripper to dismantle them and a rotary cutter to cut them into strips. With a dab of hot glue on the bottom of the pumpkins, I […]
Using garlic in your Halloween decor – keep your pantry stocked AND keep vampires away.
Garlic was on my shopping list. While shopping I noticed it was on sale, 3 for $1. We love garlic and use it a lot. You know who doesn’t like garlic? Vampires. So I stocked up and incorporated it into my Halloween decor. I had an apothecary jar that was holding big cinnamon sticks. I took […]
My Halloween wreath….all it’s missing is a whip.
My Halloweenishness knows no bounds. (But I fear that my husband’s patience will soon run out if I don’t get my Halloween bins cleaned up and put away.) We had a rare California storm yesterday, so I worked on a couple of things inside the house… including my Halloween wreath. I had took a regular […]
Make faux Mercury Glass pumpkins out of Dollar Store cheesiness.
Another Dollar Store pumpkin transformation… faux Mercury Glass. This is sooooo dang easy. Take a cheesy fake pumpkin… Spray it black. Immediately, while it is still wet, lightly spray it with metallic silver paint. Krylon has a good one. This is outdoor paint, but any silver paint will do. Spraying the silver paint onto the […]
Make cute Halloween party invitations for pennies (& without any real supplies or effort…)
I’m so excited that we’re having our Halloween Party again this year! Last year’s was a blast and I am already starting preparations. I sent out a save the date in the beginning of September, but now it’s time to send out the actual invitations. I am not an evite kind of girl. (Not that […]
