Halloween Show & Tell with Tip Junkie
It's So Very Cheri
Over the weekend while doing some bloggy reading I found THIS post at Tatertots and Jello. I saw a couple of pictures there that really inspired me. So, I made a quick trip to Wal-Mart to pick up some black ribbon and stiff felt, and got to work. I liked a couple of different ideas in the post and decided to put them together for my front porch. This is what I came up with. . . . .
Remember that little Bat Motel sign that was in the kitchen? It was perfect for this idea!! I printed of a bat template and cut them out of the stiff felt and just taped them up around the door. This wreath was up in the attic, so I just covered it with a quick coat of glossy black spray paint and hung it on the door. However, it is in serious need of some color. I am going to try to add some of the small pumpkins like the wreath seen in the inspiration photo. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I had this big furry spider from last year, and I LOVE it!! It is one of my favorite Halloween items. It is big enough to be seen really well from the street.
Looking at it all together I really like it. But I definitely need to add some orange, right? I will either try to small pumpkins added to the wreath, or possibly an orange feather boa? I am open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas!!Tonight we are off to Samantha Fest at the kids school. It is like the Fall festival, but the entire community is encouraged to come. It is one of the big fundraisers for the school. This will be our first time to go and the kids are really excited!! So am I, I can't wait for the cake walk and the hay ride!! Fall is here in full force!!!

Thanks for visiting and for the comment. Those bats are amazing. I love the look and your front porch looks great. Love the big spider.
I like the look, but agree orange with give it some pop. The feathered boa ideas sounds like an awesome one. It almost made me want to run to the dollar store to buy some and decorate a wreath with. Thanks for the idea!
That is so cute. I love the big spider, so cute.
