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 […]
Halloweenify your lampshades.
OK. I admit it. I change out the lamps on my dining room buffet seasonally. (Don’t you judge me! It could be worse! I could be addicted to handbags or shoes or seasonal dishes! Leemealone!) Anyhow, for Halloween, the black with the woven shades needed to go, and the silver with the white shades had […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
