Halloween Halloween!

Decorating for Halloween is always fun! I don't have very many things though because we're saving for adoption. So I found a cheap way to make a fun Halloween decoration. I found it on this blog.



Painting the jars was so easy and fun. It didn't take long for them to dry either. Next thing I did was draw on the face. My creative sis and law Brixannne decided to do a mummy jar. I didn't get a pic of it but it was way cute! Here's a picture of them all done and lit up!
I think they turned out cute! You can get battery operated tea lights if you don't want to have to light real ones up all the time. My other Halloween project was getting a dead branch from the canyon and painting it black. I stuck it in a pot and planned on putting purple lights on it. Then I decided to just do black spider webs on it. Here's how it turned out.
I still have to get something to cover the dirt. But I still like it!

I love how crafty you are! Most importantly I love how you share your ideas with others and how to do it! I love it. I have a list of "Lexie's crafts" that I want to do someday.

I was excited to see a new post, and a fun crafty post at that.

I like the idea abt paitning the branch black, inspiring. I have some orange lights, and I think some purple, maybe I'll just put them on a tree in front of our house.
