HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday today.
Just to end off this whole season, I wanted to leave you with a 3 HALLOWEEN tutorials.
I know it’s late in the game, but bookmark them or pin them for next year.
Also, wanted to leave with some fun decor inspiration from my aunt’s house
{she always decorates AMAZING-LY!!!}
SUPPLIES:
-Scrapbook Paper {Cardstock scrapbook paper works best}
-Hole Punch
-Tulle/Ribbon
-Stamp Pad
DIRECTIONS:
1. Make a small triangle pattern from cardstock. {My triangles are about 3 inches tall.}

2. Trace triangles on to your cardstock. Make sure you trace it on the right way if you have a patterned paper that goes up and does.
3. Cut out your triangles. {Distress the sides of each triangle with an ink pad for an added touch}.

4. Hole punch the top corners of your triangle. Lace ribbon or tulle through and hang.
Voila.A super easy but adorable banner!
What’s great is I plan to change it out for each holiday, and I can reuse some of the triangles that already match the other holiday colors.
{Sweeeet!}
HALLOWEEN PAPER BUNTING BANNER #2

So easy and fun!Here is how you do it…
SUPPLIES:
-Scrapbook Paper
-Cardstock
-Ink Pad-Sewing machine
-Glue Stick-Hole Punch
-Ribbon/Tulle
DIRECTIONS:

1. Begin by deciding what shape you want your banner. I thought half circles would be great and just traced half a bowl for my scrapbook paper pattern. I also traced a slightly larger bowl for the cardstock pattern. Trace and cut out for your scrapbook paper and cardstock.
2. For an added vintage touch, distress the edges of your paper with a stamp pad.
3. You will then glue your scrapbook papers to their coordinating cardstock paper.

4. From there, sew a zig-zag stitch all the end of your scrapbook paper.
5. Hole punch the top sides of each half-circle, string with ribbon or tulle and hang.
What’s great about this is I want to hang the banner all year long and have made papers that match my room decor. I’m also planning on making some red and green half-circles for when Christmas hits and will probably do the same for the other holidays. ![]()
I hope you like it!
And last but not least…
Halloween Jar Labels
I wanted to show you guys one of the many uses for them.
I wanted to add mine to a candy-filled jar to give to a friend for Halloween.
I didn’t have sticker paper, so instead I printed out my label to the size I wanted it, mod podged it onto some vinyl, and then let it dry. From there, I cut it out, peeled off the back {so it became a sticker} and added it to my jar.
Easy, right?!
You can even cut it out, hole punch it and tie it around a bag of candy.
Super easy. Super cute. And Super creepy.
And if you are looking to make some DIY Apothecary Jars like the one I have above, you can find tutorials all over Blogland, but there are some HERE, HERE, and HERE.
And here is the decor from my aunt’s:
