DIY Halloween: Trinket Pedestal
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
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
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?

DIY Halloween: Flying Bats
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!

Happy Hosting: Halloween Tablescape
For the second installment of my Happy Hosting series, I decided that a fun Halloween tablescape would be so fun to create. As with my Fall Tablescape, I focused a lot on texture. I started with the table covering. I dropped into Joann to see what fabrics they had available in their seasonal section and found this great vintage looking pattern! I also picked up the black and grey striped fabric that was giving me major Addams Family vibes! Once home, I started to lay the fabric out on the table to see how it would fit, I had purchased some of this webbing that people usually use to decorate…
