I haven't made Halloween decorations in years but I am back to it this year. Everything you see in stores is really junk and it all looks the same. I hit some thrift stores and picked up candlesticks for around 5.00 a pair. Then I pulled out my beads ad charms and went to work and turned them into something to decorate a Halloween mantel or table. It's a great project to do inside on these screeching hot days!
You can find summer column candles on sale right now too.
I glued beads and added trim around the candlesticks. Add a little paint here and there and you have a decoration that is much different than anything you can find in the stores and a whole lot cheaper too. On a mantel surrounded by leaves and pumpkins, these will look very nice.
I've also started on some witch hats. None of them are finished but I add a bit to them each day and these will be so fun when they are done.
Acorns, leaves and sunflowers.
And velvet pumpkins.
