(It’s the kind that grows 4 times it’s size in water. I got mine locally at Orson Gygi for about $3. The jar is IKEA. The sparkly skulls behind it are from Dollar Tree.)

And a little something for the kitchen:

Spooky Soap Dispensers

DSC_0454

I found these plain orange soap dispensers at Target on clearance last weekend.

And my mind started spinning.

And pretty soon Macy had every.single.one left in the store piled in her arms.

I cut out some jack o’ lantern faces with my Silhouette, but you could EASILY cut these by hand. The Silhouette’s just made me lazy. ;)

And then I tied some crazy ribbons, ric rac, etc around the tops.

(That one reminds me of the Kool Aid Man.)

Easy, cute, cheap and perfect for gifting. Maybe your kid’s teacher? Your neighbors? Yourself?

(Used this method plus some tiny little black vinyl pumpkin faces from my Silhouette and this for the top coat.)

And the rest of the Fall/Halloween decorations are up.

How was yours?

More bats!

So, you remember the light fixture, right? (Just say yes…it was only last week!)

I had a few extra bats, and now I think I have a problem.

They’re here:

And also here:

And THEN, I made a banner. With bats.

Light Fixture Makeover: Spooky, Quick, & Temporary

The folks at Silhouette also sent me a roll of their black vinyl. I hadn’t actually used it…until this morning.

I downloaded a bat from their online store and then tiled 21 of them to a page.

I cut out 2 pages worth and then just started sticking!

It probably took me 15 minutes tops.

And once Halloween’s over? I’ll just peel ‘em off.
