Halloween mantle

 Finally, my favorite holiday to decorate for!  I had to start from scratch here, so I made most of these decorations. 
 I spray-painted black some branches I picked up on the side of the road just off the hill close by.  I cut out bats from cardstock and hung them with thread.  I used a tin container of my MIL's and covered it in black fabric and ribbon and filled it with black tulle.  Great pull-together vase, I thought!  I used old bottles and filled them with colored water.  I had meant to cork them with corks and label them with some fun printable labels, but didn't have time.  I found the black and blingy crossbones at Tai Pan for $1.50, and the back crow at Dollar Tree.
 I made the hat using directions from Pinterest.  I liked how it turned out.
 My intent with this mantle theme was witch-based green, purple, and black, so I was excited to find this ceramic witch shoe at Tai Pan.  I love it!
Another PInterest project.  Very tedious to glue on all those eyes!  But I love how it turned out.  SO fun!
