Spider Silk Dust Mini Glass Halloween Necklace
A neighbor friend had some necklace chains that she was getting rid of. So, Krystal snatched them up not knowing what they could be used for. My mind got working overtime and I had an idea to make some sort of Halloween necklace as favors for my annual Halloween party. This is how the Spider Silk Dust necklaces came to life. I purchased some cute little spider web charms on Etsy you can find them here Then Krystal found some cute little mini glass bottles online. We inserted necklace links into the tops of the corks of the little jars then filled them with light white glitter. We added the little spider web charms…

Halloween Candy Corn Shadow box Decor
Often during our many yard sale adventures we find many treasures that we can redo. One of our favorite things to look for at yard sales are shadow boxes. There are so many simple ways to transform a shadow box, one way we like to transform them is to add small loose items in the box portion and add vinyl on the front of the glass. I recently purchased 4 shadow boxes at a yard sale they were all new still in the plastic. I kept looking at them and deciding what I should fill them with. As I was looking online I came across this fun Halloween saying by…

Witch Hat candy count down
I saw this idea a few years ago on Simply KellyB. I loved they idea and have had it filed away in the back of my head for some time now. I looked at her instructions and modified my witch hat count down with things that I already had on hand. She used a paper Mache hat from the craft store and punch holes to tie her ribbon through. I already had a witch hat that I had purchased from the dollar store. This is how I recreated her count down hat. I took a piece of cardboard and set the witch hat on top, I drew around the brim of…

Well Behaved Children Welcome sign
I love fun out of the ordinary sayings. I thought this saying was perfect for Halloween! It reminds me of Hansel and Gretel, and gave me quite a chuckle. I knew this fun saying needed to put on a sign. I painted a board a pumpkin orange color. Then using my personal cutting machine, I cut the saying ” Well behaved children welcome, the rest will be made into pies” out of a dark brown vinyl. Last I applied the vinyl to the center of my board. I decided to leave the sign very simple. I think the phrase says it all!

I Ain’t Afraid of no Ghosts
Because it’s Halloween and the new Ghostbusters movie just came out, I thought it would be fitting to create a wooden sign with the fun saying “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts”. I started by painting a scrap board a pumpkin orange color, next I cut the saying using my personal cutting machine out of white vinyl. I applied the white vinyl saying to the center of the board. Last I embellished the sign with some felt ghost cut outs. This was a fun prize that we gave away at our annual Halloween party this year.
