Bee Themed Pumpkins
I would not have normally chosen to do bees on a pumpkin because I use them more in my spring decor but I wanted to try the decoupage method on this Dollar Tree cement pumpkin and the bee was the only napkin I had that wasn't Christmas themed. I think it came out really nice.
I didn't take too many pics (sorry) but after I painted the flat pumpkin white, I separated the plies of the napkin . Then I tore the bees out and used a little mod podge to apply each one to create a random pattern. They went on the pumpkin really nicely, hardly wrinkled.
I purchased the bee napkins at Bob's Garden Center (local). The flat cement pumpkin, as I said is from Dollar Tree. The green pumpkin is also from Dollar Tree and I used a Dollar Tree stencil on that one. See photos for the blue pumpkin (a few posts back) because its the same method. Paint pen to draw the lines using the stencil as a guide then fill in once you pull the stencil away. It's easier that way.
The large pumpkin is from Michaels and I painted it to coordinate with the others. I sprayed all of them with Krylon Matte finish.
Happy Fall Crafting!

Halloween Recycled Paint Can
I repurposed this empty paint can into a Halloween decor piece and I am really happy with it. It can be used as a candy bin for Halloween night or to put Mums on your front porch the entire month of October. I had seen this ghost pattern on several Halloween decor pieces last year at Marshalls and fell in love with it. I love a repeat pattern so I had to try it and I knew it would be fairly easy to duplicate as you will see in my pics. I would say not to worry about messing up because in the end it will still look adorable. As you can see, my ghosts look completely different than the throw blanket photo I included which I used for reference. The jack-o-lantern in the background is another paint can I did and that one was done by masking out an area with a Cricut vinyl cutout , using crackle medium, then pulling off the sticker. I included a few photos of this one too. Once my paint can was empty I set it out in the driveway to dry up the rem...
Decorative Halloween Wall Mirrors
I typically don't decorate for Halloween (since my kids were young) but I like to come up with Halloween projects because there are so many options. Now, once I execute and idea I let one of my girls take it for their places. I thought these mirrors would be neat and different. In addition, they are versatile, as they can be hung on the wall or placed on a counter top. You don't have to be able to freehand draw to make these but if not, you will need carbon paper. The mirrors are from Dollar Tree. I painted one black and one white. I traced the mirror on a piece of paper. You can either draw your image or print something out from on line. After I drew my image I used the carbon paper to transfer it onto the white mirror, ensuring that it is centered. I used my black paint pen to outline the image. This makes the lines sharper than if you were to use your paint brush. I then switched to my brush to fill in the skull head. ...
