The Anti-Wreath for Halloween

For the first time in a while; todayI grabbed my sweat jacket as I started my day. Boy was it a nice change from those last hot summer days. It also means fall is just around the corner!!

For some reason I turn into a crafting fool around fall. I guess there are just soo many things you can make for Halloween and Thanksgiving. The imagination can go wild and of course there are no rules! - A great situation, don't you think?

So here is my first spirt of the crafting bug and it is all about NOT putting a wreath on my front door.

I like wreaths but man am I tired of that format!

So here's what I did.

I started with these lovely suspicious Witches. They were a print out from the Graphics Fairy.

I glued them down to a "trick or treat sign" - that too was a Graphic Fairy print out.

Then I grabbed some fabric scraps and folded them to give them the "ruffled" look.

Of course I used my tool of choice for this - my glue gun! 

I wish I could sew , but I can't and my glue gun gets me thru. Ahh glue gun !!

So here is what it started to look like . NO wreath here...but wait it gets better!

Some Black glitter!!! Ok , now we are talking!

Everything for Halloween needs black glitter don't you think? 

I put some on the fabric and the Witches hats.

SO here is where the Anti wreath comes in. I had this broken little broom for ever!

 I think I've looked at it for over a year now. Well , I finally found a use for it. 

I first spray painted it in a cooper color and then added one of those sparkly 

flower things you get in the floral to the top.

And here she is!!

I like how the use of the broom and the Witches all ties in together!

I hope they will keep the monsters away on Halloween!!!

Shes all ready to hang on the front door but I gotta get one of those sticky hooks!

With all this cool weather starting  - I'm thinking that Ill be finishing the brickwork around my gardens. We will see, with my new crossing guard job in the mix this year, I really want to relax on weekends.
