Halloween Decorating



We have been working on decorating for Halloween and the kids just love it! Above are some of our Halloween decorations. Hilary made me a super cute BOO sign for my birthday and attached them with wire. Thanks Hilary! I love it. I made some Halloween Pumpkins like my fall ones I made last year and put them on one of my tables. My Mom made this cute Trick R Treat Ghost that holds candy corn and the other small Boo sign with the cute spiders and bats hanging off of them. The wall hanging I got at Target and the cute sparkle Trick-R-Treat sign I got at JoAnn Fabrics. I am still working on decorating outside and I will post pictures once it is complete.

Here are a couple of crafts we loved. These Boa Bats are so cute. I hung them from my chandelier in my dining room. My kids also hung them in our entryway windows.



Last year I had this cute twig that I hung halloween balls by ribbon on, but I can't find it this year, but I still think it is cute and a fun idea.


We also made these Bat-O-Latterns. We put them on our porch by our pumpkins.

Your decorations are too cute! I love the boa bats!! I think we'll definitely try those! And Ella is making those pumpkin bats (which I adore!) in preschool next week. SO CUTE! Were they easy or hard?

I love your twig tree!

Glad to see the boo got there safely!

Hilary the Boa Bats are so easy and turned out so cute. My kids wanted to hang them off the stairs and everywhere. As long you cut out your Bat Wings ahead of time, they are so easy. These were my favorite! As for the Bat-O-Latterns - Also really easy and fast. I sprayed them black ahead of time but on the same day we did them for FHE. They dried fast. Jeremy helped them attach the sticks to the wings with Black Duct Tape. Then we put them together. It was really fun, and they turned out so cute. Brielle came up with the idea of putting our extra bats on skewers and the we stuck them in our fall plants out front.
