Halloween Decorations

I have had no time at blog at all! So I am playing catch up today!!

I put up all my decorations today and I am so excited about them!

Here is my front porch.

Everything that I have outside, I either made it, or bought it at the $ store! So, it was not expensive at all!

This is the wreath I made! I saw sooo many ideas on pintrest and I combined a few of them. I bought the spider web and the wreath from the $ store. I spray painted the wreath gray. I had everything else at my house.

For the flower I just inked the edges with black and glued the spider on.

I love the chris-cross of the ribbon!

My luminaries that I made last year!

Spiders all over my front window.

This is what I have inside. I did mostly fall decorations inside, so I only have one little corner for Halloween.

Very simple. My painted pumpkin, orange candles, and my paper lollipops.

Love it!

Pumkin Fix!!!

Do you remember this pumpkin that I painted and ended up hating??

Well... I decided to try something else to fix it up! I put purple and orange ribbon around it! I think it turned out 100 times better!!!

What do you think??

Halloween Pumpkins

I bought these last year from the $ store, but I never had the time to finish them. I spray painted one black and one white.  To be honest, I had a vision, but the white one looks horrible! Complete FAIL!!! So, I will go back and try to do something else with it.

I should have left it like this! lol

I added some tape to it, thinking it was going to come out pretty cute!

And this is the mess it came out to be! lol.

On the other hand... here is my black one that I am in love with!

Perfect! At least I think so!!

Thanks Growing Up Gardner!

Christmas Ribbon Wreath

This is by far one of my favorite projects. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ribbon! This was my first attempt at a ribbon wreath.  So, instead of sewing  the ribbon in strips or hot gluing them to the wreath, I just pinned them with straight pins. I wanted it too look the way I wanted it too before it was more permanent. But it is so cute and I will for sure make many more!

I started just by wrapping a ribbon all the way around the wreath.

Then I just looped the smaller pieces of ribbon then pinned them down.

Last, I added the big bow on top to add a little something to it!

Paper Lollipops

These are just some paper"lollipops" that my mother in law and I made for Halloween.  They are so cute when put into a vase. And super easy to make!

Halloween Lights

I went to the D.I. and bought these jars all for less than $2.00. Then I went home and painted them.

I love the color purple for Halloween. After the paint dried, I added the faces to the jars.

The Frankenstein is my FAVORITE!!! I made the bolts for his head out of water bottle caps. I painted them then glued them on! They all sat outside my front door with candles in them! Super Cute!!!

Halloween Wreath

I was feeling festive for Halloween this year.  I saw this wreath on another blog and just fell in love with it! The best part... I made it for only $3.00!! Everything was bought at the $ store!

What you'll need:

1. A wreath

2. A plastic table cloth (I wanted to use orange and purple also, but they only had black in)

3. Little skeletons

4. Ribbon (which I already had)

First, just take a strip of the table cloth and wrap it around the whole wreath. Overlap as you go also.

Next, I cut strips just big enough to wrap around the wreath and tie it in a knot. Just repeat until the whole wreath is covered.  I added my ribbon to add some color after that. 

And last, I just glued on the skeletons. Super simple!
