I Love my mantle!
Everything came together nicely!
I have a roll of caution tape that I’ve had for years. A friend left it at my house, and never came back for it. So now, I use it every Halloween for decorating fun. You can order some on amazon Here.
I Found the little bird cage (to the right), and little potion bottles (to the left), and the three foam pumpkins( to the left) at Big Lots. I cut out the letters using my Cricut Machine, and hot glued them to the pumpkins. I glued all the pumpkins together. However, I accidentally cut the stem off from the top pumpkin, so I fixed it by gluing the black skull to the top. I found the skull at the Dollar Tree.
I made the banner last Halloween using my Cricut Machine, ribbon, glue, and some halloween paper I found at my local Michael’s Craft Store.

My stairs have been attacked by spiders!
My boys are afraid of spiders. So, being the good mom that I am, I decided to plaster some spiders all over my staircase 🙂
I found the spiders silhouettes at Michael’s. You can order them from Amazon Here.
I wish I could have gotten a video of their reaction when they came home. The look on their faces was priceless! 😛
