I shared this simple tip over at I {Heart} Naptime last week. It’s an easy way to help keep your little people from getting burned by one of the holiday season’s most common treats: hot cocoa. Have you ever burned your tongue? Of course you have. It hurts, and it would be preventable if you […]
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 […]
“What’s the ’31’ for…?” A Halloween end table.
I thought it was obvious that the 31 I stenciled on this table was for October 31, but enough people asked me about it that I am now certain it is obvious only to me. For my Halloween party, the apple green and turquoise had to go. I wanted silver and black. I took the […]
Orchids can celebrate Halloween too…
I love orchids! They are a quick, easy, cheap way to have fresh flowers in your house. They’re easy to pop into different containers and have them look like a million bucks. They’re often thought of as a spring or summer flower as far as decorating goes, but adding just a few elements can make […]
The world’s easiest Glue-Gun table runner.
Yep. Seriously the easiest table runner ever. Step 1. Find two long scraps of fabric. Match up the pattern and hot glue a seam. You could use fusible webbing too, but then you’d have to find your iron. (Seriously, if the wrinkles don’t come out with a spritz of water and a quick tumble in […]
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 […]
Black sticks & silver mini-pumpkins… mmm mmm good!
Yes, yes, more pumpkins… Does it make a different that these are little guys and not from the Dollar Store…? No? These guys started out as little orange fakers. I sprayed them with Krylon’s silver metallic paint, then took a black Sharpie to add a little contrast to the stems. Then they just got dumped […]
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 […]
A spookified dining room chandelier.
In keeping with yesterday’s Halloween lampshades, I thought I’d show you my spookified dining room chandelier. It normally looks like this… I’m going to recover them for Christmas, but am too lazy to do it for Halloween. Weird, I know. (Click here for a simple tutorial on how to do yours) To add a bit […]
