HALLOWEEN IS IN THE AIR

Evening all, as we all know that Halloween is literally right around the corner. Monday to be exact, so what a better way to celebrate is to make a spooky arrangement. Everything I used for this Halloween arrangement was purchased at my local dollar tree. I decided to decorate my bar countertop. This was a cool and inexpensive project. I love decorating for all holidays. Here is a cool and cost effective way to spruce up any Halloween party. Whether it be the occassionally trick or treaters or maybe you are planning a costume party, your table will the Spook of the night. For the arrangement I use dry gravel in the bottom of the vase, to give it that dark, creepy feel. I incorporated the orange and black stem which gave the look a little glam. The skeletons were actually garland and I cut them apart and placed them inside the vase as well as in the stems. The idea for the eyeballs came to me at the last minute. Kinda SPOOKY!!! I especially love the idea of placing the eyeballs in the glass. (Just for decoration of course). To finish, I purchased black netting and don't forget the candy. So I hope that you all enjoy this easy DIY SPOOKY INSPIRATION. Comment below what Halloween plans do you? Have Fun and enjoy.

FALL IS IN THE AIR

12

Can you feel that crisp in the air, Fall has officially arrived. Fall is such a beautiful time of year, the trees are changing colors and of course there are so many holidays celebrations. So, I decided to make a floral arrangement that I could use for the Fall season as well as Thanksgiving. Hey, who doesn't like a beautiful table arrangement. As you can see for the tablecloth, I used a piece of leopard print fabric and I incorporated my african statues. Here is a BONUS, these are two different arrangements. Arrangement 1, I decided to incorporate colors that are represented in the very beginning of the Fall season such as gold, yellow and orange. This vase in slinder in shape and I used potpourri to fill the vase. I purchased these flowers from Joann Fabric and Crafts. Arrangement 2, I decided to go for a later Fall season look, in which the leaves on the trees is turning darker preparing for the Winter season. I decided to go with a taller vase, with a wide opening at the top. These flowers were purchased from Joann Fabric and Crafts and Dollar Tree. Both vases can be purchased from the Dollar Tree as well as the potpourri. This is a quick easy project that will add life to any Fall celebration.
