I have high hopes of taking time to be crafty this Fall. Here are a few things on my list to make.
Pretty Wreath
My door is dark wood. It’s always a challenge to get something to stand out. Maybe if the ribbon is really bright orange it will work. Love the feathers. I can only use these outside… Rocky LOVES to eat feathers then proceed to throw up on my rug. A favorite pastime of my cat.
Halloween Tree
These are stickers on the ornaments. What a cute idea!
Halloween Lampshade
What You Need
- Lampshade
- Sheet crepe paper: orange and black
- 1-inch-diameter circle punch
- Orange construction paper
- Crafts glue
How to Make It
- Cut 2- and 3-inch-wide strips of orange and black crepe paper long enough to fit around the lampshade.
- Fold each strip lengthwise, and using scissors, cut slits 1/2 inch apart to make the fringe.
- Glue the fringes in place on the shade.
- Punch orange paper circles and adhere to the shade with glue.
Use double-sided tape instead of crafts glue if you plan to use the lampshade post-Halloween.

September 10, 2008 at 4:34 pmThat wreath is stunning! You could do it on a dark door with orange, as you say, or try cream or light beige or light sage. I have a dark wood door, too!

September 6, 2008 at 12:46 amThose little ornies are so cute, what a good idea. For fall, I get started making pomanders. I love having a bowlful on the table in the living room, the fragrance is heavenly. Check out my blog to get a recipe for making a different version of pomanders.
