I have been blogging for longer than I think most people realize. We’re talking over eight years!! That’s a long time! But that’s totally okay if you didn’t know that because I’m not so sure that I want you peeking into my past post. Some of my older post are bad….like Real Bad.
I’ve tried to update some of these old post, but I haven’t gotten around to a lot of them yet.
And sadly, some of those old bad post are my most popular post ever!
Yes, Sad but true 🙂
But Anyway, just for fun, I searched through the vault of my past post and I actually found some really fun Halloween Decorating and Craft ideas that I thought were worth sharing again.
Here take a look!
Crafts
Bug Bottles: I spray painted some old glass bottles white and then attached printouts of bugs onto the bottles using a printable sticker paper. See post HERE
Snake Wreath: this snake wreath was extremely easy to make. I purchased six rubber snakes from the dollar store, intertwined them into a grapevine wreath, and then spray painted the whole thing with black spray paint. More about it Here.
Black Roses:Again with the black spray paint, I spray painted some real red roses to give them a cool goth look. See How HERE.
Disturbing Feather Wreath: Don’t ask me why, but I had a strange collection of bird feathers on hand, and I realized one day that they were really kinda creepy, so I stuck them into a wreath and blogged all about itHERE.
Spooky Polaroid Halloween tags: These free printables are MY VERY FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CRAFT THAT I HAVE EVER DONE!!!!!
I still freaking LOVE THEM!! I took pictures while at a red-neck corn maze that my family and I went to, and then I turned the pictures into Polaroid-style tags. See my creative ideas for using the tags HERE.
Mantles and Displays
This Spooky Halloween Mantle is from 2011. I decorated our mantel using an old window frame, free skeleton clip art, my DIY log candle holders, spider webs, spiders, crows and pumpkins. See more of it HERE.
In 2012 I decorated our mantle, again incorporating the old window. But this year I had fun displaying a lot of spiders. My Most favorite part about this whole display is the crows on branches inside of Large jars. I’ve also turned a vase upside down and placed a rubber rat inside….Gosh I use to be so clever 😉 See moreHERE.
I actually love to come across older pictures of our home and see how much I keep changing everything 🙂 This little display was from 2015. It’s simple and cute. View more of it HERE
Scary Halloween Mantel: I still smile when I see pictures of my mantel of 2016. The stack of books and the nest of spiders, snakes and rats just tells a scary story. Read the story HERE
Halloween Nook: That same year I decorated the nook in our kitchen. It’s fun to decorate rooms that you don’t usually decorate for Halloween. See More of this decorated nookHERE.
And then last year – (2017) I mainly focused on our entryway and created a spooky greeting for guest. As you can see, I re-use most of all of our decorations every year. But each year the display looks totally different. See how I put together this look HERE.
Black, White, and Orange Halloween Decorating : And that brings you up to date to this year, where I had so much fun decorating our living room. See even more of it HERE.
A fun and easy Halloween decorating idea is to slant your pictures on the wall, creating a Haunted-house feel.
Pumpkin Ideas
And Lastly, I wanted to share a few fun and easy ideas that I have done with pumpkins. This first idea is super cute! I just took a paper towel tube, dipped it into some orange craft paint, and used it to create a circle pattern onto a white pumpkin. It turned out so fun! See more HERE
Mummy Pumpkin: My most Popular Halloween project ever is probably this adorable Mummy Pumpkin that I created in just minutes. I’m guessing my cute entryway has more to do with that than the actual pumpkin itself, right?

So Do you have a favorite Halloween decorating or craft idea that I’ve shared???
I just have so much fun making our home festive for the different seasons and holidays and I hope that when you come here to the blog that you get inspired and want to try out new ideas for your own homes.
Thanks for stopping by today,
Emily
