The Best of DIY

I hope everyone had a happy Halloween! I made my own last minute Halloween Wreath after seeing A Forest Frolic’s wreath. Michael’s had run out of most of their Halloween section so I had very little to choose from, luckily I found a little plush vampire and witch to put on my wreath, with spiderweb ribbon and black roses. This project probably only took me 1hr to complete. I can’t wait to put it up again next year!

I’ve been looking for the perfect Halloween decoration for my door. I wasn’t all that smitten by any of the decorations at the stores, so I decided to search for a diy decoration. A Forest Frolic has the perfect decoration for my door and there is even a tutorial. Check out the Spooky Halloween Wreath tutorial! I love the black leaves and dark purple roses, I especially love the glitter and skulls!

Happy Halloween everyone! I got together recipes for some really spooky cupcakes. I wanted to make the mummy cupcakes for my boyfriend to take into work, but didn’t have frosting it called for. The mummy cupcake is my favorite! Here is a recipe to make them. I found all the recipes on Fabulousfoods.com. I hope everyone has a great Halloween, try not to eat too much candy!

1. yummy mummy cupcakes

2. boiling cauldron cupcakes

3. monster cupcakes

4. vampire cupcakes

Want to creep out your guests coming to your party or trick-or-treaters? Well, I think this eyeball doorbell would do the trick. I’m sure visitors will think twice about touching that doorbell. I found a tutorial through Crafty Crafty that shows you how to make this. It is quite a lengthy tutorial because you have to create the doorbell bezel, so if you are looking for something last minute I’m sure you can just create the eyeball by itself to attach to the exsisting doorbell.

Halloween is only a day away! If you have a party planned and are looking for some last minute decorations these bleeding candles would be perfect! I found a tutorial over at Martha Stewart Living.

Instead of carving a scary face on your pumpkins you can drill some holes and make neat designs. You can use real pumpkins to do this or I could see using craft pumpkins. Sring the pumpkins with the tiny white christmas lights and you have luminaries. I found this tutorial on Martha Stewart Living.
