Halloween Display


 Halloween Decor Crafts
Designed for Oh My Crafts

Halloween Display created by OMC designers: Lindsey, Machelle and Whitney
Lindsey, my coworker designed this paper strip pumpkin!  I loved it so much I recreated my own at home. For instructions check out the OMC blog.


I designed this pumpkin teeth pail.  Unfortunately, everyone who walked by would take some of the candy corn so I had to fill the bottom half with paper to make it look full (;  By now, I'm sure the candy corn is gone, but it was cute while it lasted!   Here are the supplies and instructions:
Instructions:
1.       Cut orange paper about 4” x 10” and insert into the pail.
2.       Cut out a jack-o-lantern face with black vinyl and apply to the pail.  This pumpkin face was made from the eclips cartridge: Halloween and Scaredy Cat.
3.       Fill pail with Candy Corn
4.       On the lid of the jar apply a chalk label with the words “pumpkin teeth” written on it.


This Halloween canvas was designed by Machelle, another designer at OMC.  She made it by painting a canvas orange, applying a vinyl stencil of the house and spiderwebs and painted black over the stencil.  Let it dry, peeled the vinyl stencil off, and finished by adding sparkly spiders and jewels.

I look forward to Halloween every year.  Not because I particularly like scary movies and haunted houses, but I do love the autumn breeze entering the air, cute kids dressed in costumes, and I especially love Halloween crafts.  With that said, I have quite the projects coming so be sure to check back this week for Halloween home decor and party ideas!
