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 […]
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 Halloweenishness: a Dollar Store entry way.
There is a mirrored wall in our entry-way. Me no likey. However, Handsome Hubby won’t let me take them down or cover them. It can be a challenge to decorate because everything is reflected and can look too busy. So in getting ready for Halloween, I chose to use light colors and a lot of […]
If Edgar Allan Poe had been given some contact paper & a Cricut… (DIY Halloween Artwork)
…he probably wouldn’t have done anything with it. But here’s what I did: I made Halloween artwork based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” I used a 1/4 inch plywood board, primed it, then painted it with Kylon’s Metallic paint in Nickel. I used my Cricut and contact paper to cut out the first few […]
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 […]
Halloween Adirondack Chairs
Like everything else around here, I spray paint my cheap, plastic, fake Adirondack chairs different colors based on the seasons. They’ve been eleventy billion different colors. This turquoise was my color of choice for the summer. Now that fall (and more specifically) Halloween is upon us, I wanted a change. Last year I painted them […]
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 […]
The one where the dog messes up my “After” photos.
There is no need to hit the garden center to change up your flower pots. Just give them a quick coat of paint! I have two flower pots that have layer upon layer of spray paint on them. I dump the plants, paint the pots a new color for the new season, then replant them. […]
