What I love about crafts is the personal touch they add to your space, because you can create something unique and customizable. What I love even more is the spirited touch that holiday crafts add to your home. Well in this case, spooky touch!
With Halloween this weekend, it’s time to get ready! First I made a banner to hang above my front door to decorate the front where the trick or treaters will be. I also make sure to get the good candy so I can be one of the ‘cool houses’! Can’t take any chances with those trickers!
So I decided to make the Making Memories Spellbound Garland Kit. The kit came complete with 4″ Black glitter letters that spell out “All Hallows Eve”, 15 background squares, 10 chipboard shapes, 10 assorted buttons, 5 die-cut flowers, 5 yards of Black twine, and 1 sheet of adhesive foam squares. It was a breeze to put together because everything was all cut out, so I just got the fun part – decorating! All it takes is some glue to put the letters on the background squares. Then I added the buttons, die-cuts, chipboard shapes with the foam squares.
These Ravens add a little spook and glitter, and are easy to put anywhere. I hung some in my entry way above door. There are short wires on the back, so I attached some to frames, wall hangings, and even my plants!
Next I got Pumpkin Paper Mache Masks to decorate. I used Halloween Scrapbook paper and decoupaged the hat with mod podge. The Halloween 12×12 Paper Stack came with 24 designs that were bright, glittery and perfect for Halloween. I started with the polka dot paper for the top of the hat. I wanted a dark hat with some color. Next I choose the glitter spider web designed paper for the brim and used bright puff paint to bring out the webs.
My pumpkin looked bright and cheery so I decided that my pumpkin should be dressed up as a clown!
The masks are fun and very easy to decorate! You can use anything, be creative!
And look how nicely these masks are decorated! These are the cutest pumpkins!
