Halloween Glittered Skull Wreath

October 13, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

While I am out celebrating the 50th anniversary of Mathlete’s parents, I have a few amazing bloggers here sharing their awesomeness. Today, Amy is sharing her super fun Halloween Glittered Skull Wreath. Read on to find out where she got the supplies and how to make it.

****************************************************

Hello friends! I’m Amy from Mod Podge Rocks (and DIY Candy, and Washi Tape Crafts!). I think we’re all in the Halloween mode, and I had to share a recently completed project with you that I just LOVE. I’m a huge fan of the Dollar Tree, and it’s always a fun challenge to head there and see what I can come up with. I knew I wanted to do something Halloween-related and use FolkArt Extreme Glitter, but besides that, I had no idea what I was doing when I walked into the Dollar Tree. It was SO much fun, and this skull wreath resulted.

Stenciled Trick or Treat Bag

October 15, 2013 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

My daughter is totally obsessed with the mustache trend. Despite throwing a baby shower that featured mustaches, I don’t really get the whole excitement behind the trend. Yeah, it is funny but mustaches on everything just seems odd. Oh well, clearly my daughter {and most of the rest of the world} thinks it is cool so what do I know? When we were working on her trick or treat bag for this year, she spied one of my Martha Steward adhesive stencils in the shape of a mustache. The rest was history and her stenciled trick or treat bag was born.…

Easy Carved Pumpkins for Halloween

We had a semi-monsoon hit the east coast last week/weekend. We were visiting my parents for a few days and really needed something to do to pass the time and entertain the kids. Creating a carved pumpkin is a fantastic rainy day activity so we decided to go for it.

20 DIY Halloween Costumes

October 10, 2013 By Shannah Coe 38 Comments

October has hit. Panic has set in at the Just Us Four house because the kids don’t have Halloween costumes picked out yet. Typically, we have our costumes in hand by early September so we get the pick of what is available. I am totally blaming PBK for this lapse in Halloween preparation since their catalog is usually what prompts me to order costumes. This year, I am thinking our late decisions on what to be will leave us with a lot less choices. So, like any good mom/blogger, I went cruising the interwebs and found 20 DIY Halloween costumes that could serve as back-ups…or first choices if DIY Halloween costumes are your thing! …

Halloween Crafts: Candy Corn Pennant Banner

October 1, 2013 By Shannah Coe 11 Comments

Halloween is one of those holidays where decorating can go in two very different directions. Some people focus on the spooky and scary {think lots of skeletons and black} while others go more for the fun, non-scary stuff {candy corn and pumpkins}. We have two young kids so you can guess which way we tend to lean. This year, H is getting to the age where she likes to really be involved in just about everything that I am doing. So, we decided to focus some of our Halloween crafts on things she could easily help with like this candy corn pennant banner.

Spooky Eyeball Wreath

September 30, 2013 By Shannah Coe 33 Comments

I was never really into Halloween decorating until I moved into our current neighborhood. In our townhouse, we always put out pumpkins and passed out candy to any trick or treaters that came by. When we moved into our current house, all that just seemed to be way too low key considering all the decorating that was going on around us. So, slowly, we’ve been accumulating decorations at the after holiday sales to add to our collection. Of course, it helps if you can make some of your decorations too so I created this spooky eyeball wreath this year.
