Hi everyone Laurel here. As a child I was never really a fan of Halloween (well I loved the candy but the dressing up part I could do without). As an adult I still am not a huge fan of it – I have never been creative enough to come up with good costumes! However, I LOVE to decorate my house for it, especially if I am able to create my own items.
Supplies: Frightful: 12 X 12 paper – Zig Zag; Mixed Bag; Decorative Brads
Today I have an altered witch’s hat for you. I picked it up on clearance after Halloween last year. I was happy to put it to use this year.
I used the Frightful collection and just went to work. It really didn’t take that long and will look great with the candlesticks and witch’s shoe that I have on my hearth.
I wrapped some black tulle around the base and then tied it into a bow. I then just tucked in some of the ephemera from the mixed bag. One of the spiders is cut with my Silhouette and embellished with a brad. The others are fun glittery plastic ones I picked up from the Dollar Store.
My favorite thing about making my own decor pieces is that they are then one of a kind and that is fun!
Laurel
