Just a few of my favorite Halloween decorations from this weekend. I had way too much fun this year and may have gone a little overboard. Most of these things I either made, already had or were purchased from the Dollar Store and dressed up a bit to fit the theme: Family Friendly Skulls and Spiders.
It was all about details for me so I'll point a few out for you. The wreath you have seen before but I covered my entire porch in spider web and spiders. My house had over 250 little plastic spiders! Most of those were added to the chandelier which I highlighted as more of an upside down centerpiece. I strung some spiders off of the bottom so it looked like they were coming down onto the table. You can barely see them in the picture above but if you look closely at the picture of the skull you'll see a spider hanging there. Speaking of that skull, this was a dollar store skull that I covered in fine purple glitter, it looks so much better!
For a little trickery I added creepy eyeballs (the kind where the eyeball always looks up which has always freaked me out) to the sangria. So yummy and spooky!
My most subtle addition was the miniature graveyard with a custom Raiders tombstone. My voodoo didn't seem to work this week!
We didn't ever get the chance to carve the pumpkins but I think they look pretty good there piled up with a giant furry spider to keep them company. Maybe we'll get motivated and carve them in time for Thanksgiving!
And of course no blog post is complete without a picture of Nolan. Here he is getting acquainted with our garden skeleton.
