Do you decorate for Halloween? Typically, I don’t, I just decorate for Fall in general. Last year I shared my first Halloween mantle I created for the kids costume party we were having. This year we planned a Fall fire with friends and I wanted to make a cute, quick little banner to display outside! This banner took me under 15 minutes, no joke!
Using my silhouette machine, I downloaded a set of bats for $0.99! I arranged the set of (4) bats on the page. I used 5 pieces of black construction paper and got to work! One piece of construction paper fit the 4 bats perfectly. Once they were all cut out, I grabbed my heated glue gun and began to attach them to my fishing line in different directions creating a pattern. I did this for the full length until my bats were gone. My particular banner is rather long, but that’s the way I wanted it! I took it outside and taped it into place on our barn. It was perfectly windy, so it made the bats appear to be flying! The kids loved it! This is a cute staple piece that we will add to our Halloween decor for years to come and it was so simple to make!

{ Fab Pins of the Week }
Happy, happy Friday!! One of my favorite days of the week, yours too?
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out some of my inspiration this week!
This week’s pins were Halloween related! We will be hosting a Kids Costume Party here in the next couple weeks, so I’m in full swing of preparing for it, fun!!
1. Isn’t this mummy wrapped pumpkin darling? This is the perfect, safe and non-messy craft for kids to create adorable, personalized pumpkins! Create the perfect wrap using gauze and add googly eyes that you can purchase from the dollar store!
2. Create gorgeous, glowing pumpkins in a few easy steps! Instead of the traditional carving technique, drill holes in a design and place mini white string lights on the inside! These are sure to brighten up your porch perfectly for Fall, and you can enjoy them long after Halloween is over!
3. Puppy chow may just be one of my favorite guilty pleasures! I have been coming across sooo many new recipes this season! This particular recipe yields the perfect Halloween mixture! If you’re looking for a satisfying snack for your Halloween party, look no longer, this is it! Your guests will be begging for more 😉
4. This spook-tacular Halloween mantle is charmingly frightful! I love the mix of natural elements and bold accents! The black displays really make this mantle pop, don’t you think?!

Feeling a little bit giddy about my next project… Painted pumpkins, eek! I really love pumpkins and this year I have the desire to go outside-the-box and personalize them! Painting pumpkins can be a fabulous way to let your creativity shine. No matter your style: spooky, retro, eclectic, or glam, use your favorite colors and designs and get to creating!
I can’t wait to share my project with you this weekend! In the mean time here (below) is where I’m getting some of my inspiration from 🙂
