I love Halloween! I mean now that I have kids I love Halloween. I stopped ‘celebrating’ in high school and I am excited to be able to share this fun time with my kiddos. I changed up my mantel this weekend from all things fall to all things Halloween! Eek! I love it!
Seriously.. eek! Bats, owls, pumpkins.. this mantel has it all! And that little tree to the left? My Ryley painted it for me.
I used my silhouette to cut out the owls. I used the same jute from the fall banner to string them up.. through their eyes. Because thats not creepy. [Just go with it.]
Ryley’s tree, witches bottles, a grapevine wreath and the clock from our wedding. I bought that little grapevine wreath from a garage sale for a quarter. I wasnt sure what I was going to do with it but it fits in perfectly with my Halloween decor.
I used Ball jars and my silhouette for the labels to create the witches potions. The one in the back in standing up on a cat food can. Gotta keep it real.
Even the kids got in on the decorating! Or their pictures did. I cut out some bats and folded them in the center to give them a 3D look. Easy peasy.
I think the clear tape over the letters makes it look old.. or thats what Im telling myself anyways. A raven being held up on a giant paper clip covered in washi tape completes the scene.
Eek! I love it! [Yes.. I know I already said that.]

Ok, in addition to your mantel looking great…you have really nice handwriting :). I am used to seeing how you type not how you write. I love the mantel, I love all the details, it is the perfect blend for Halloween. Those owls, though, they are a hoot…love em!
