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 […]
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 […]
Spray painting sticks and hiding dirt…
I may have previously mentioned that I loves me some sticks. When a storm blows through and there are sticks and branches all over the neighborhood, I become Crazy Stick Lady. I stop in the neighborhood and grab branches out of the street and embarrass my kids. I am A-OK with that. Sticks are free […]
I killed a dress, but I saved a pumpkin.
I bought a dress at a thrift store in the spring and I have never worn it. It was super cute and summery; sleeveless with sweet little ruffles on the front. It is sooooo NOT me. In fact, it actually started mocking me every time I opened my closet…. Really? Planning on going to […]
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 […]
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. […]
