DIY Halloween: Spiderweb Wreath
If you know me or have ever looked at my Instagram or Blog during the holidays you know how much I LOVE to decorate! I enjoy adding to my collection of decor every year and decided that I wanted to do more DIY decor this Halloween! So I hit up Pinterest for ideas and this series of DIY Halloween was born! This first project is so cute! I have one wreath for this time of year and it is a cute little glittery black one that looks like branches. I decided I wanted a new wreath and that I wanted to make one instead of buying one as they can…

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…

DIY Halloween: Candle Holders
The inspiration for this project came from Pinterest! I think the glow of candles instantly makes things feel cozy which is what you want this time of year!

Here’s what you’ll need: Hurricane candle holder or mason jar Frosted glass spray paint Black acrylic paint Paintbrush Flameless candle Wash and completely dry your candle holders. In a well-ventilated area (I did this in my garage with the doors open) follow the instructions on the spray paint canister and frost the…

As a result, today is the first of four posts sharing a how to of the Halloween crafts I created! First up is these mini block pumpkins! I saw something similar on Etsy…
