A Few Halloween Decorations I Made

Happy Friday everyone, I am so excited about all the fun holiday activities my family and I will be doing this weekend.. Well, I thought today I would share a few of the fun Halloween Decorations I made this year.. I actually got back into painting a bit and I forgot how much I love doing it.. So, my be seeing some hand painted Christmas project in the future :0)

This was a paper mache' hat box a picked up at Hobby Lobby for $3.99 and
I hand painted it with some acrylic paint.. I love how he turned out and
I will most likely be making more next year :0)

These were so fun to make.. I bought some paper lanterns from Hobby Lobby & Michael's (the white and green were only $1) .. I hand painted
these with acrylic too...

This was an oil lamp that was on clearance at Big Lots for like 50 cents..
So, took the wire handle off and I decorated it with a fun Halloween sticker label
from EAD Designs , elastic black trim, and a wine cork..
