Halloween Idea #6

I have seen these Pottery Barn inspired lanterns all over blogland, so when I found these two old house lanterns for $3.00 at a thrift store, I snapped them up! They were so gross, and needed a good cleaning before I could paint them. They still had old hornet's nests inside!

 It was a bit of work to get them apart, but I finally did, and here they are, all cleaned up and  ready to go down to the garage for painting with Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze paint.

And VOILA! Here are the finished lanterns with some fall leaves and candles inside. I won't be lighting the candles, they're just for decoration. I love the way they look on top of my bookcase!

Halloween Idea #5

Here's a fun decorating idea for some cool and creepy hanging "cobwebs" Keep your eyes out for old sheer curtains at garage sales, thrift shops, etc... Old, ripped or stained ones are the best, and usually CHEAP!

They make great hanging cobwebs. Just cut them across the middle using a zigzag pattern as shown below. No need to be neat - just hack away with a pair of scissors, the jagged edges make them look even better! 

These look great hanging out in the yard or on a porch, since they blow around in the slightest breeze. I even found a couple for $2.00 at a yard sale in orange and black!

I have these hanging from hooks on the light in our kitchen. To hang them on the back porch, I used a staple gun, but they're light enough that you could even use masking tape.

Halloween Idea #4

I had these four old and chipped frames kicking around, and as I was wondering what to do with them, it occurred to me that "FALL" is a four letter word, LOL!

So I found some fonts I liked, printed the letters out at a large size and made stencils from plastic page protectors. This would be SO easy if you have one of those fancy cricuts or vinyl cutting machines, but I don't have either one so I did it the hard way, with a pair of tiny sharp scissors and lots of patience!

I stenciled the letters onto some squares of canvas from an old drop cloth. then I cut pieces of cardboard to fit the frames and wrapped the stenciled letters around the cardboard, securing with hot glue. They are just tacked in place on the back with a bead of hot glue, so I can take out "FALL" and replace with "NOEL" for Christmas, and maybe even "LOVE" on pink felt for Valentine's Day.

Happy crafting!

Halloween Idea #3

This idea is similar to one I saw on someone's blog, but I don't remember where. If you know where I may have seen it, leave me a comment, so I can give them credit!

I started with an old wooden frame and two foam pumpkins from the Dollar Tree. I cut them in half with a serrated edge knife, just behind the stem.

I cut a piece of foam core board to fit inside my wooden frame and then covered it with burlap. I used some dark brown acrylic paint and foam stamps for the design and the word "FALL", then glued my pumpkin halves below, using tacky glue.   I have it hanging on an old wooden shutter - SO cute!
