Halloween tree!!

My little stinker-pot has a stomach bug today…oh…my…word. I’ve been cleaning up, mopping up and wiping up puke-a-duke most of the day. Whew…projectile throw up days are such a blastedy-blast!!

Buuuuut…..I wanted to share my Halloween tree that I made the other day…since it is getting closer…and closer to TRICK or TREAT time!! Yipeeeeeeeeee!!!

To make the tree I used a bunch of stuff I already had. I used an old, rusty bucket; a string of left-over orange lights; a spray-painted branch from a backyard tree; and ribbon. Seriously EASIE PEASIE!!

I found a branch in my back yard and spray-painted it black…and then with a little bit of BLINGY silver glitter spray. I also found a rusty, bucket that already had dirt in it and poked the branch in to stand up! I painted the number 3 on the bucket…who the heck knows why…I just felt like it needed it.

Jaxon helped paint the number three too…it was pretty CUTE!! My little helper loves to HELP!!

After our PAINT JOB, I threw in the string of lights. {Side note: I bought these about 2 years ago at the DG…I’m sure they have them every year!}

To finish it off I cut small strips of Halloween ribbon and tied bows all over the branches…and VIOLA!

Cheapo…CUTE-ARRIFIC….Halloween tree!!

I should have moved the darn thing for the photo shoot…sorry it’s a tad hard to see!! It’s really FAB in person!!

P. S.

Check out my little goodies I found the other day at GW!! Omg ladies…sorry to boast but they are MARVELOUS!!!

Hopefully my stinker will get better ASAP and we can get our PUMPKIN decorating ON!!!! And hopefully I can announce my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT soon too! Ooohhh…it’s so MARVELOUS!!! LOVE LOVE!

Halloween Banner

Soooo….as promised here are better pictures of my little Halloween banner!!!

It was super-duper easy!

To make one for yourself you will need:

-Scrapbook paper (or any paper will do!)

-Glue

-Twine

-Hole punch & scissors

I started by printing letters out to spell “Happy Halloween.”

Then I looked around my house for something that had a LARGER circle shape for the background paper. I found this little doo-dah.

I took the lid and traced larger circles on my paper.

Remember my brown paper bag recycling?? Here it is again! It’s perfect for brown craft paper!

 

I then glued the letter circles with the larger circles. Once they were dry, I used a hole-punch to make to holes at the top of the letter circle. Like this!

I pulled out my handy-dandy twine to string the letters. I made two separate banners….one for “Happy” and another for “Halloween.”

I seriously love this! And even better…it was free! You could use anything you have around the house to make yours!!

Hope everyone had a MARVELOUS weekend!!
