Decorate your space!
It’s tradition in our neighborhood to have luminary bags for Halloween. A fun way to light up the path for trick-or-treaters!
I used white paper bags from party city, found here. The idea behind this was to have “eeeek” and the rats running away in fear.
EEEEK! Rats running down the pathway away from the house.
Lit up at night with LED lights.
Have a bright and happy Halloween!
Loving this simple DIY decoration- you only need frames and string! I already had some inexpensive frames, a few of which I had to spray paint black. Wrap and tie the string around to create the web.
Also as a side project, I was decorating pumpkins with rhinestones =)
This is a quick and easy DIY project for the perfect Halloween party scene! Create creepy concoctions using magic ingredients.
I gathered glass jars- great place to look is Marshalls or Target clearance for mismatched jars! For taller bottles, you guessed it- wine bottles! I mean, a craft that involved having to drink wine, sure why not 🙂
The Martha Stewart collection has some great labels, I used these 
I also decided to make a few on my own, inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth. “In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog”
Bat drink stirrers found at Target.
Book of Spells- such a great find from Marshalls! One of my favorite pieces I’ve come across this year.
To complete the potion look I filled the clear jars with water and food coloring.
Great for a haunted house or on a bar cart! Happy Haunting!
My favorite holiday is almost here! Okay, I’m a month early, but for once I’m not waiting until the last minute to frantically craft my decor.
Mt theme this year is all black and purple. Sorry bright orange pumpkins, not going to happen.
This vase can be used as a centerpiece, but as you’ll see later it’s part of my whole entryway display.
-Purple glitter mesh
-Vase + filler gems
-Black roses
-Styrofoam disc
-Handmade bats with purple accent
-Black craft wire (18 gauge)
-One creepy hand
To make the bats I made templates and traced onto black card stock. Add dimension by folding the wings.
Creepy hand holding the vase is a must.
Finished Witches Bouquet.
Happy Halloween!
I couldn’t resist, I had to get the pup into costume 🙂

Excited to see all the creative costumes tonight!
If you haven’t decorated for Halloween yet, or if you’re just looking for an extra decoration to put up- here you go!
These jack o’ lanterns are so simple to make, so spend time being creative with the faces 🙂
Jack O Lantern Faces
I used different size lanterns- the minis are my favorite!
Mini lanterns found here, larger lanterns can be found here.
Cut out a few different faces on black construction paper. After you assemble the lanterns, all you need is a few dots of hot glue to hold the pieces on. Make sure to put a face on both sides!
Lanterns
Fun faces
These lanterns are bright enough with just the natural light of the room.
Mini lanterns!
Happy almost Halloween!
Rice krispies treats are a classic. So why not take this easy and simple snack and turn it into a Halloween treat!?
Any variation of the recipe will work, but I used the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Original.
What you need:
Lollipop sticks and clear bags
To make ghosts and tombstones cut the rice krispies treats into rectangles (2 x 3 inches). Then trim the two top corners to make it a rounded top. The Halloween themed ones can be cut into 2 inch squares.
It’s easiest to place them on the lollipop sticks now, before they are completely cooled.

Now it’s time for the frosting!
Frosting
After the frosting is completely dry, place each treat in a clear bag. These make a fun display for Halloween parties 🙂
Halloween treats!
Halloween decor doesn’t have to be dark and gloomy- add some brightness!
These luminary jars will make great decorations for around the house. You can even place them along the window sill for a great look from the outside.
The supplies for this craft are pretty simple! What you need:
Different size jars
What you need
Extras!
Start with one side of the jar and paint a layer of glue. Cover with a layer of tissue paper strips, and paint another layer of glue to seal it. Continue until the whole jar is covered. I found it easier to paint the rim of the jar with acrylic paint.
Glue + tissue paper
I made my jars into bats, pumpkins, Frankenstein and spider webs.
Frankenstein and bats
Frankenstein and pumpkins!
Spiderwebs
Add a little sparkle to your Saturday 🙂 My friend has the cutest Halloween decorations, so I had to share! I love the sequin pumpkin and glitter skull!
Fun Halloween Sparkle!
Halloween = candy. Okay that’s pretty obvious. So if I’m going to have candy in the house- it’s going to be displayed in style! These candy dishes are super easy to make, and the perfect size for a little Halloween treat.
What you need:
Getting started!
From flower pot to candy corn!
For the candy corn themed pots I used blue painters tape to separate the colors. For the spider themed pot I used a spiderweb stencil on cardstock. Or you can try drawing your own right on the pot!
Halloween Hershey’s Kisses!
Now for the cellophane- dot around the edges with the orange glitter glue. This adds a little sparkle to the candy corn 🙂 For the finishing touch- clip the spiders onto the web!
Halloween candy!
