Halloween Decortation Projects

Even though Halloween is just a few short days away, I thought its better late than never to post pictures of my latest projects. 

Fall Wreath

This turned out much better that I anticipated.  I used acorns from my yard, I just washed them and then sprayed them with some clear spray paint.  I made the welcome sign with stamps and scrapbook paper and then tied it on with some twine.  Cute!

Trick or Treat sign

Here's what you need: a cute frame, poster board, burlap, and candy corn.

cut the poster board to fit your frame and then cover the poster board with burlap. Use hot glue to attach the burlap to the sides of the poster-board.

Once its covered, put it into your frame.

Here is what it looks like!

Then spell out your saying with the candy corn, you have to fiddle with it, to get it to look just so!  Then one at a time, glue the candy corn in place.

I made the "or" out of scrapbook paper and stickers, and then made a few bows for embellishments.  Pretty cute!

My latest project

So, I had all these projects that I wanted to complete this summer and this was the ONLY ONE I finished.  So sad.  Anyway, here it is.

My husband got this chair for free from our neighbor.  I love when things are free!

I just love how the color matches my van!  This chair was super ugly, but after a few coats of spray paint, some scrapbook paper and lots and lots of Mod Podge.......

Isn't she a beauty?  I am so happy with the results and it cost me a whopping $0.00!!  I used things I already had to get her into shape, what a deal!

Garage sales, oh how I love thee.

I love a good garage sale, more importantly I love finding wonderful treasures for pennies! On Friday I lugged all 3 of my kids into the van and drove them all over the city visiting garage sales. We went to many, and I was starting to get disappointed because I had not found one thing for myself, and then at my very last one, I hit the jackpot!
I bought these beautiful chairs and this sweet table for only $8!!!!!!! Did you catch that? 8 bucks, that's it! I was so stinkin happy! This beauty is my favorite. Right now she's sitting on my porch, but stay tuned, she'll be getting a very beautiful makeover soon enough!
This baby is not a garage sale find, but it is my current project. When I'm done you won't even recognize it! Stay tuned for lots of beautiful improvements!
