The whole gross, ugly Halloween...Not my style. I actually don't love that time of year but my kids do so I try to make it fun but cute at the same time ;)
Here are a few things we did and loved!
My daughter wanted to be a witch so we took a $3 target witch and and made it fabulous. A little tulle, ribbon, hot glue and this baby was done in 10 minutes! Even if you just make this and set it on an entry table for decor, you'll love it!
My Little witch:
Then I took a regular black tulle skirt and added orange, purple and lime green tulle. Short in the front, long in the back just as my little witch requested.
$3 witch broom from target, we also added ribbon and tulle and it was great! Striped tights, a cute little black top, purple and green make up and this witch was ready to Trick or Treat!
Of course we needed a wreath and those were just too difficult to find so... time for another DIY. So worth it!
1. Get pipe insulation from Home depot, make it into a circle, tape it well and viola, a wreath! SUPER cheap, I think it cost me $6 and I can still get 2 more wreaths out of it.
2. Wrap in burlap, (PS do this for every holiday...YES!) I chose black, wired burlap
3. make it your own. With the help of a creative sister, we made these little paper fan circles in 2 sizes and glued them to the wreath. I tied about 8 different kinds of ribbon...the more dramatic the better I always say... Tied them in a french knot and cut them long.
Finished this wreath off with a little "Spooky" Banner. In 30 minutes it was ready for my door!
Tall witch broom in the corner, pumpkins, skull paper garland (from paper source, my favorite paper store), little Fright Night sign and skull (yuck, but my kids wanted it so I bit my tongue and put it on the porch). Set up your porch at different heights. Use candlesticks, cool stools or chairs. Everything at the same height never looks right.
Happy Halloween!
