Haunted Hollow Decor Tutorial

Hi friends, I had a fun Halloween tutorial up on the American Crafts blog earlier this week that I can't wait to share with you!

I created this simple Halloween decor setup without breaking the bank by using several pieces that I found at the dollar store (chipboard sign, chipboard houses, decorative skulls) and adding in a few items that I already had around the house (apothecary jars, scrapbook supplies) to create a look that is sure to spook

Supplies: Haunted Hallow (368904) - 12x12 Paper Pad, Haunted Hallow (368675) - Die Cut Cardstock Pieces, Halloween (97140) - Star Stickers,  Halloween (97138) - Decorative Tape, Haunted Hallow (368677) - Remarks Cardstock Stickers,  Halloween (97146) - Epoxy Stickers, To That (AM617-13) - Adhesive, This To That (368185) - Adhesive Foam Dots, This To That (61754) - .05 Double Sided Super Sticky Red Tape, Cut Up (AC64200) - Scissors 5", DIY Shop (366868) - Black Chalkboard Paint, Premium Ribbon (366305) - 24 Pack Basics Hemp Black, We R Memory Keepers (71045) - Brad Setter & Piercing Tool

1. Apply black chalkboard paint to large chipboard sign. Set aside to dry.

2. Cut "Something Wicked" title with Silhouette Studio. Ink edges with chalk ink. Adhere to Chipboard sign and add star stickers. Finish by stringing sign with hemp string.

3. I found these cute little chipboard houses at the dollar store and thought that they would look great with Haunted Hallow papers. Use a ruler and a pencil to measure all sides and top. Cut out papers and adhere with super sticky tape.

4. Embellish houses by adding stickers, decorative tape, and die cuts.

5. Using a manual or electronic die cut machine cut out bats of various sizes and patterns.

6. Use a piercing tool to pierce a hole at the end of each of the bat wings and then string with hemp twine.

7. Finish decor set up by adding label stickers to apothecary jars and bringing in other Halloween items that you have on hand.

thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my spooky tutorial!

Halloween Mantel Decorating with American Crafts...

Earlier this week I shared a layout using the new American Crafts exclusive for Target Halloween collection.  To see that post you can go here .

Today, I would like to share another project made from the product that was sent to me.

Each year I love decorating the house for Halloween with lots of spooky items and Fall decor.  To pull my fireplace mantel together this year I used the American Crafts banner kit, and labels.

I used leftover papers that I had from Halloween paper pad that was sent to me to put together this spooky tree.  I simply ran the papers through my Silhouette Cameo and cut out a few spooky bats to complete the look.

This Halloween Banner kit was so simple and fun to use that my daughter helped me put it together.  To add an extra little pizzazz to it, I backed each letter (that is included in the kit) with coffee filters before gluing them on to the banner.  It added some texture and dimension (two things I love).


Make sure you check out your local Target store to get some of these fun exclusive supplies :)
