A week ago I decided that our apartment needed to feel more homey and a lot less like a pit stop until we are onto our next place. I was a woman on a mission. With Halloween coming I thought I would find some inexpensive ways to add a little Halloween spirit home. The three things I wanted to accomplish were:
#1 Make cute, but inexpensive decorations.
#2 Be ok with making some decorations that I could throw away. Our temporary location calls for temporary decoration.
#3 Have fun figuring something out.
So, I did a quick google search on Pinterest for Halloween crafts and I found this post. And I got the idea to make a few jack 'o lanterns using items from around the house. I wanted 3 pumpkins and I wanted them all to be different sizes.
Here is what I used:
- One roll of toilet
- A can of Oats
- A package of rice cakes.
I then rolled each item in some orange tissue paper and made some stems using some green tissue paper and twine. I cut out some jack 'o lantern faces from black card stock and glued them on. They turned out really simple and cute and have added just the right amount of festiveness to our small temporary apartment.
