    I am a Harry Potter fanatic and these floating witch hats that I am seeing all over Pinterest just remind me so much of the series for some reason!

    I think it’s fair to say that I have a thing for bat decor this year! I have seen signs like this all over Pinterest and Etsy and I decided I wanted to try my hand at making my own!

    DIY Halloween: Trinket Pedestal

    October 17, 2022 /

    This was a last-minute addition to my DIY decor but I absolutely love the way it turned out and will likely be making more of different sizes! It was super easy to do and altogether the project cost me less than $10! The inspiration for this came from the candlestick I used for the project. I bought it from the dollar store a few years ago and have never really used it for anything. Give this one a try and let me know how it turns out!

    DIY Halloween: Bat Print Burlap Table Runner

    October 16, 2022 /

    Back in 2020 I did a really fun Halloween Tablescape! I always like to put some decor out in our dining room, I think it rounds out the decor spaces nicely in my house this time if year. For the last tablescape, I used various pieces of fabric that I picked up at JoAnn Fabrics. I loved the look of them but this year I decided I wanted something a little less busy! I love burlap table runners and I thought it would be so fun to create my own stamp to add a little flare! If you decide to recreate this, tag me on Instagram because I would love…

    DIY Halloween: Witch’s Broom

    October 15, 2022 /

    Is it even the beginning of the Fall season without the overwhelming smell of cinnamon the second you walk through the doors at the grocery store? I bought one of those cinnamon brooms a few years ago and thought it was so cute I kept it even after the smell faded. This year I decided to repurpose it and make it officially into a Witch’s broom and I think it turned out so stinkin’ cute! Give this one a try and let me know how it turns out!

    DIY Halloween: Flying Bats

    October 13, 2022 /

    One decoration I saw on Pinterest more than any other was the bat decals in various patterns on mantles, walls, and porches. Basically anywhere you can stick a bat there is a Pinterest pin for it! I looked for the decals on Etsy and Amazon and while the prices aren’t super high for them, I knew that I could do them for cheaper. I have been meaning to do this project for a few years now and I am so glad I finally got around to it! If you recreate this tag me in your photos over on Instagram!
