I managed to get a few decorations up yesterday for Halloween. Honestly, the Halloween decor is for the kids. I would much rather just decorate with a Harvest theme. But, that wouldn't go over very well them. So, I decorate with a few spooky items for Halloween. When Halloween is over, I'll just replace the crows and other spooky items with Harvest decorations. I'll add some gourds, pumpkins and wheat etc.
The first little decorating project was pretty easy and very inexpensive to make. The branches of course are free. We picked them up when we were out on a nature walk on Sunday. (NOTE: Make sure the branches have already broken off the tree naturally. Don't break the branches off the trees or else you will end up with some unwanted little creatures in the house.) I was going to spray paint the branches, but the branches were a really nice gray color so I just kept them bare. You could spray paint them black or any other color of your choice. Then I just added Spanish moss to the bottom of the urn and sparingly on the branches. I add a few crows and the entire little project was less than $10. The best part is it fits in with my decor :) and the kids love it!
I'll share more as I progress with my Halloween decorating.
Cheers,
