He He He He... witchy crafts with echo park paper

For both projects I used the echo park paper, witch can be purchased at Remember Your Memories

I have been making a bunch of stuff with this paper line, it's the best. :)

 Just painted the edges traced the paper around boot cut out & mod podged it on. Then added extras.

The hat was super easy, the part that took the longest was folding the bottom paper to make the crinkled brim. All the stuff I added was from the dollar store. I had the cardboard hat already, but you can make one out of a cereal box with hot glue, I did last year! 

Have a great day!

Is it Halloween Yet?

First of Happy Happy Birthday to Aunt Anna! I made her a cake stand, & my chocolate coconut cake(wich looks like crap, but I'm sure is tasty.)

For a DIY on cake stands you can click HERE! They make a great Birthday gift. 

Then here is some MORE Halloween stuff I made this week. 

Halloween Banner. I used the Happy Hauntings cartridge. 

So easy, I painted the edges of my 12x12 wood orange. Mod Poged this great paper on & the added the vinyl saying! Viola!

This spooky wreath was also very easy, just cut circles of card board, or bead board.
I use my kitchen bowls to trace.
Then glue a paper over, or you could paint.
Glue on all sizes eyes.
Add letters saying "I'm Watching You"
I made a tiny hole tied tiny circle in middle to top wreath, then added top ribbon. Done!

Enjoy! Hopefully Halloween will get here before I run out of space for this stuff & it's not even October!

DIY Up-cycled cake stands & other ways to spruce up your halloween party

 HAPPY WAY EARLY HALLOWEEN!

So I am having a ghouls night out early October. It is going to be a fabulous  Halloween craft party, I have been having a ton of fun getting ready, here are a couple of easy things you can make for your Halloween party!

So these cake/treat stands were so easy to make & cheap too, as you probably know cake stands can be way pricey. 

Here is what you will need-

Old dishes 

Primer

Spray Paint(in the colors you desire)

Waterproof Adhesive(I used Duco Cement, you need something that can be used on glass)

I bought all of these dishes at my local thrift store & the lovely jar below for $6 amazing right :)

I didn't paint this, I dig it just the way it is:)

Spray paints $3.99 each at local Hardware store,  Duco Cement $2.00 at dollar store

So it cost me around $20 to make 5 cake stands. That is great right!!!

First set up an area in your fabulous dirt backyard using a garden hose a

& stakes to hold the garbage bags down. I like to keep it classy.

Then spray the  primer your dishes, wait to dry & prime other side.

After that dries separate items & start painting in desired colors.

Let them dry, flip & paint again.

After all the paint dries place a bead of cement around rim of glass & place in middle of plate or tray. 

Let them dry for at least an hour.

Then walla, you have fabulous party cake stands.

Please remember to place paper, wax paper, or doilies between food & spray painted items.

Here are a few other fun easy Halloween decorations.

Decoration or Gift Jars

Just save any old jars(in this case a spaghetti sauce jar & bullion cube jar) I printed off a bunch of vintage Halloween pictures from the internet. Cut them out, mod podge on jar, paint, or cover lid with material, add ribbon, fill with Halloween candy. :)


To make the wreath from above, just cover a foam wreath with yarn, cut out diamonds on felt, glue, & cover with black yarn going across them. I want to make one with white yarn in the background. Candy Cornish. 


Boo! hanging til-like decoration

There are many variations you could do on this, EEK!, Trick or Treat., you get it. 

I used a Dowel for the top witch I painted black, & hot glued some buttons on the ends, I used cardboard instead of tiles. I just cut out the size I wanted, & used Elmer's glue to glue Halloween paper on. Then I  added Headstones, Boo!(I used Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge) letters, then I tied Hemp cord to dowel, witch I had glued with hot glue on the back of the cardboard ribbon & buttons. Amazingly I already had all this stuff so it cost me nothing, but it would be super cheap to make. I buy almost all my buttons at Buttons Galore and More. They have great prices & a bunch of sales, & that's where I got my Halloween buttons. 

These jars were $1 at the dollar store, I just filled with candy added ribbon & letters. :)

HAVE FUN & IF YOU MAKE ANY OF THIS OR OTHER CUTE HALLOWEEN STUFF PLEASE SHARE!
Once my party is here I will be sharing a ton more of fun Halloween stuff!
