SpOOOky Halloween Decor

I thought I would share some fun Halloween decorating ideas. I forgot how much Halloween and fall stuff I had until I pulled it all out of my storage room! This isn't even all of it either. I have a ton of stuff I'm still putting on my porch! Money well spent in my opinion! Ha.

I saw this mantle idea with the sticks and birds on Pinterest. When I saw it I thought I had the PERFECT mantle for it. I put my own twist on it. I LOVED how it turned out. Even if you don't have a mantle a large shelf would work too. Just pull off some dead branches from a tree and spray paint them black. Luckily I had saved all my sticks from last year so I got to skip that step this year. :) Martha Stewart has some of the best decor for Halloween. The candelabra is from her collection and the web and spiders all came on the sheet with the candelabra. It was $10 but I had a 50% off coupon at JoAnn's. The birds are also from JoAnn's on sale for $3.50 each. (FYI - if you have an IPhone there is a JoAnn's app and it always has coupons you can use in the store)

Here's some up close pictures

Something I started doing with my holiday decor is; instead of spreading it all over my house I put it in a couple specific areas depending on how much stuff I have. One of those areas is in my dining room. It's a very traveled part of my house so it really stands out.

I saw this cute Halloween keepsake project on this blog. I thought it was such a cute thing to have and keep has your kids get older. It's really simple. Just paint a canvas black and then the bottom of your kids foot white .The writing is easiest done with a paint pen.

I LOVE blogs that offer free printables, so cheap and easy! Here's where I found this one, Blooming Homestead. She also has a cute Thanksgiving and Christmas one.


*Just a hint...instead of following the down loading instructions; double click the picture you want, right click it and save it to your desktop. Then upload it to wherever you get pictures developed and have it printed as an 8x10 on photo paper. Then you won't have to worry about them getting ripped and you can use them next year.
