Halloween Decorations!

I'm getting really excited that Halloween is right around the corner, because then it's Thanksgiving, and then it will be Christmas!! :)

I found some cool Halloween Decorating ideas from the Martha Stewart website, so I hope you like them!


These first two pictures are of how you can make fake spiderwebs around your house...

This first one was done by setting hot glue pads (or newspaper, something like that) around what you want to spiderweb-ify. (Yes, I'm a complete genius when it comes to making up words!) Using a hot glue gun, squeeze out about a dime size drop of glue on the newspaper. Then, dip the tip of the hot glue gun into the glue. When you lift the glue gun out of the drop of glue, it will start making a "trail" of the dried glue, that you can just wrap around whatever you're working on!

This second example of fake spiderwebs is much easier. You can use old or cheap white pantyhose, make cuts in them, and then stretch them out to get the effect that you are looking for.

These plates and this cup were made my taking a plate/cup of another color and cutting the edges with decorative scissors. Then, you can hot glue the decorative plate on top of the regular plate, and slide a regular cup into the decorative one!

The final two pictures show how you can use pumpkins as flower vases or baskets. They're pretty cool, and I would've never thought to use pumpkins like this before!
