I'm still working on my Halloween tablescape, tree and other decor for this season. I thought I would share several pictures from previous tables, wreaths and other decor I have used around the house.
 |
| Halloween tablescape a few years ago. |
 |
| Halloween place setting. |
 |
| I hung a deco mesh wreath over the dining room table. |
 |
| I used twine and to make a web in the wreath frame, painted it black and added a spider. It looked really cool while sitting at the table having dinner. |
 |
| A few years ago Dollar Tree had the coolest skull chargers/platter. Another blogger friend posted a tutorial on how to paint and make the platters look like stone. I tried it and loved it. |
 |
| I painted the two that were used on the patio to look more like metal/pewter. |
 |
| Patio Halloween table. |
 |
| A few items I used on the tables. The candle was made out of PVC pipe and I inserted a battery operated Christmas candle. |
 |
| The Dia de los Muertos table. I painted the plates and plastic skull in the center with Sharpies. |
 |
| Dia de los Muertos place setting. |
 |
| This was my Halloween/Die de los Muertos combined tablescape last year. I had just moved and had no time to really decorate like I normally do for Halloween. |
 |
| Dollar Tree carries large felt skulls. I glued it on black heavy foam board and painted. It makes a great door hanger. |
 |
| I used a piece of reclaimed wood and a Dollar Tree door knocker to make the Keep Calm sign a few years ago. |
 |
| One of my favorite projects. I spray painted a Dollar Tree plastic skull with white gloss paint then used Sharpies to paint on the design. |
 |
| Dia de los Muertos wreath. I used two of the Dollar Tree door knocker skulls and a Dollar Tree cross I had purchased at Easter for this wreath. The skulls were painted with Sharpies. |
 |
| Day of the Dead plates I painted with Sharpies. |
 |
| I found these large/fat acorns in a friends yard in North Carolina a few years ago. The minute I saw them I knew exactly how I would paint them for Halloween. |
 |
| This was my Halloween house display a few years ago. I have added several more to the collection. I painted a Fisher Price doll house that I found at Goodwill for $1.00 to look like a haunted house. |
 |
| The doll house I repurposed for Halloween. |
 |
| I hung this fun deco mesh wreath from the ceiling in my living room. |
 |
| This poor little witch tried to get in my door, but she didn't make it. The pool noodle legs are covered with children's tights. I used an old pair of my black pumps and painted the bottoms red. She's a fancy witch! |
 |
I made this little deco mesh ruffed witch wreath for my front door. I made the legs and handmade the paper shoes.
|
 |
| This Dollar Tree pumpkin was covered with leopard print Dollar Tree duct tape. |
You are a very talented artist - if I tried to paint those skulls, I'd have a very different result! I love all your crafty ideas - I did make a pair of witch legs a couple of years ago, I may have to add red or orange to the soles of those shoes! Happy Halloween, may it be all treats and no tricks!
ReplyDeletePS. Are those Fiesta jack-o-lantern plates? I have one (and only one) which I LOVE, haven't found any more that I could afford. They are so happy and cute.
Thank you Joy. I painted the soles red like Louboutins. I'll never buy a pair of the real ones, but my witch enjoyed wearing the knock offs. The plates are not Fiesta, but they look like it. I added the black to them about five years ago. I searched all over for jack-o-lantern plates, but no luck. Sooner or later I will run across a nice set. I found a set of four on eBay made by Fitz & Floyd, but they were too expensive. They wanted $60.00 for a set of four plus shipping. Have a Happy Halloween.
DeleteYour decorations are so creative! I love how you have repurposed objects for your Halloween decor!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia. I love finding items that I can turn in to fun treasures. Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeletecreative and so fun. yes, I remember those chargers. Great job on creating them. Re-purposing is half the fun and so much savings. Loving your table setting. The witch is darling...Celever lady.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. I have enjoyed these chargers for a few years. Sure wish the Dollar store would carry them again so I could paint a few like sugar skulls. Maybe one day they will return. See you on Sunday for the DI & DI party.
DeleteIt's such a treat to visit your blog. You are so very creative, and a talented artist! Loved your "classy witch" and your door hangar. Bravo! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rosie. I always enjoy decorating for Halloween. I fell 5 weeks ago today and injured my left arm. I'm a one armed decorator/crafter at the moment so I'm limited on my decorating, but trying to get it out and up.
DeleteOh my goodness! Your creativity is amazing. I love everything. But those dollar store chargers are so adorable for Halloween. I just don't remember seeing anything like them at my Dollar store. Loving the wreath as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie. Dollar Tree carried them for a couple years, but they haven't stocked them in three season now. I really wish someone would carry them again. I really want to paint a set with sugar skulls for my Day of the Dead table. Hopefully one day I will run across enough while thrift shopping.
DeleteTotally creative and a pleasure viewing. -Brenda-
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Brenda. :)
