Metallic Pumpkins

I know it's a bit late to be decorating pumpkins, but I bought this gold metallic spray paint and I just had to test it out.  The stuff turned out to be AMAZING! I can't wait to get spray painting some pine cones with it for Christmas!

I bought these mini pumpkins way back at the beginning of October and they are showing no signs of rot yet.  My son and I "decorated" these little guys for Halloween.

Here is the before:

And the after:

I may have to keep these around after Thanksgiving too :)

Modge Podged Halloween Sign

My paper Happy Halloween sign was transformed yesterday into a modge-podged sign on canvas board- just in time too!  The process is really simple.  Just modge podge your paper to the canvas, sponge some ink around the edges, and finalize with more modge podge.

Spooky Gourds

My almost three-year-old son refers to Jack-o-lanterns as "scary pumpkins"- he loves them! So instead of trying to name these gourds I painted something clever like gourd-o-lanterns, or jack-o-gourds, we are going to call them Spooky Gourds!

My in-laws grew about twenty of these gourds when they lived in California years ago.  My husband volunteered to take some off their hands while helping clean out their garage.  I finally figured out a good use for them!

Felt Ghost and Spider Templates

 Last year I came up with these easy and inexpensive Halloween decorations- little ghosts and spiders made of felt.  The ghosts I hang in the window and the spiders I stick to the wall.

I got these out yesterday to start my Halloween decorating and decided that I needed some more.  Well, I didn't save the drawings I used to make these from last year, so I decided to draw them up again and share the templates with you!

Yay!  Free stuff is good!  So just click on the link below to get a PDF template to make your own felt ghosts and spiders.
