Is it universal that all kids love Halloween decor? My kids are so excited to see the houses that have ‘spooky’ decorations outside. I’m totally not into outdoor decorations1.
However… like I said, the kids love decorations. So I decided I should pull together some non-tacky indoor Halloween decor. Coincidentally, Elaine Song, Style At Home Web Editor, asked me to take part in a round up of bloggers’ Halloween ‘tricks and treats’ so I got out my glue gun and got busy…
I was inspired by these cute framed pieces, which I found on Pinterest (of course), but were from the pages of the fall issue of Sweet Paul.
I wasn’t up for doing the embroidery, but I loved the quirky sayings, so I used some gold sequins and simply hot-glued them to some black fabric. I found the gold frames at Value Village for $2 each. Score. The mini-pumpkins that I bedazzled for Thanksgiving fit right into the vignette. Here’s how it turned out:
Hop over to Style at Home to see the rest of the bloggers’ Tricks & Treats. You will be impressed with how stylish Halloween decor can be! Thanks again to Elaine for including me in this fun feature!
1 – Mainly because I get SUPER annoyed at the people who leave those tacky decorations outside until Christmas. Plus, I really don’t like handing out candy to trick-or-treaters and I think the decorations just encourage more of them. (I know, I know… I’m a bit of a Halloween scrooge. My mom and sister are totally on the same page… anyone else?)
