Ok, you all know I'm not a big-time crafter, but you all know how much inspiration one can get from blogging right? And this is just the post to showcase that.
This wreath I made for Halloween....
was inspired by this...
 |
| Skeleton Hands Wreath from Vanessa Brady of Tried and True Blog |
Thank you very much for the inspiration Vanessa, you can check out her tutorial HERE!
 |
| This is what the hand looks like |
I wanted my wreath to be bigger so I spray-painted an old charger black, wrote the "Happy Halloween" sign using gold Sharpie paint, then hot-glued the hands all around!
|
| Ta-da! |

The other DIY I/we did for Halloween are these gorgeous pillows.
 |
I had these grey Gurli Pillow covers from IKEA and these 2 beautiful table napkins I scored from Williams and Sonoma last year.
And since I can't sew to save my life, I sought the help of my mother-in law to sew the table napkin on top of the pillow cover . And, VIOLA - perfect Halloween pillow! No cutting was even done!

Oh my word, how clever is this. Love the wreaths, so cute.
ReplyDeleteVel those pillows are so fun!! What a great idea to sew the napkins right onto the pillow case. Filing that away for the day I conquer the sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteOkay, those hand wreaths are really creepy.....a cool kind of creepy, but mostly just creepy! The pillows are great....not creepy!
ReplyDeleteSo cool Vel, love the wreaths. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBoth projects are SO clever Vel! I might need to get one of the hands and glitter it to rest on a pile of books. Thanks for the inspiration!
