Spooktacular Halloween Porch Decor

I love changing the

Halloween Vignette

on my porch each year.

 This year, I decided to rework my

book club wreath to go with a Halloween theme.

I typed & printed my own banner on my computer, edged it in glue,

 stuck gold glitter to the edges, & adhered it to my book page wreath.

The witch was cut out from a vintage Halloween

postcard. I love this little saying,

"Wishing you a Jolly Halloween"

which I've seen on vintage Halloween stuff.

 By the way, the arachnids "crawling" up the door

are made from plastic spider rings . . . 

Just cut the ring part off & stick to your door with

glue dots!

Don't you just love these spooky, but classy pumpkins?

 I saw something similar to the rhinestone pumpkin 

on line for $200! These "Say it with Pearls" by Prima

were on sale 40% off. (I used 3 packages.)

The pearls are already arranged  in this cute swirly pattern

& they have a gummy stuff on the back which sticks to the pumpkin.

I think I spent about $7 total.

The lace pumpkin idea is from Better Homes & Gardens.

Their instructions were to "insert the stem through an opening

in the top of the lace & gather lace at the bottom of the pumpkin.  

Secure the lace with a running stitch underneath."

This method did not work for me! The lace was so gathered 

that you couldn't see the pumpkin. 

I did cut a hole in the top of the lace for the pumpkin,

then cut out lots of excess lace & Mod Podged the lace to 

the pumpkin. I put straight pins in the bottom of the

pumpkin to hold the lace in place.

Jolly Halloween . . . decorating!
