Halloween Decor

This month is just flying by and I have so much left to do.  Why is it that when you have a long to do list, the days just fly by.
I have some glass vases for Halloween that you can use to decorate your home.  I love these, they look great and are so easy to decorate.


I started with some paper die cuts:
I distressed the white fence with some Tim Holtz distrssed ink, walnut stain and black soot

and added some black birds used a Martha Stewart paper punch
I purchased three different sizes of glass at the dollar store

paired them up with candle holders
I used Gorilla Glue to glue them together, let it dry over night

add your cut outs using Mod Podge glue

here's a different version using a Sharpie marker for the vine and the same Martha Stewart paper punch for the birds

Hope you're all having a spooky day!

  3. These are so cute!! If you ever quit your "day job" you could do crafts full time and I bet you would do well with it, like an eTSY shop or something! You are very talented with what you do! I know I said that before, but you are!

    Have a safe Halloween!
