I just LOVE the fall so I first wanted to share some of my fall decorations with you! I haven't started outside yet but it is coming along slowly but surely!
OK so on to the project (again you can check this awesome project out at Mine for the Making’s blog as well!) I did it a little differently then hers but the idea was 100% hers! I loved it so much that I wanted to make a set for my small bathroom as a decoration for this fabulous season!
“Boo Blocks”
I got these three blocks from Michaels $.99 each!
I painted them all black. I did two coats on each block.
I then chose Halloween 12” x 12” paper that I liked. Once I did that I cut the paper into little squares to match the top of each block.
I used a hot glue gun, black paint, scissors, paint brush and a plate to put the paint in.
I glued the paper on to the top of the blocks once the blocks were completely dry!
I then used the cricut and cut out the letters “BOO” the font size was 1-1/2”. I placed one letter on each block.
I then embellished with extras! I used googley eyes, ribbon, beads, spiders etc. I found all of these objects in the craft section or scrapbooking section at Michaels!
After everything dried I was able to place it where I wanted and it looked great!!!
Thanks again Kara @ Mine for the Making!

Thanks for following! I'm following back. And I just love all of your Halloween decorating ideas, they've inspired me!
Have I told you lately that I love you??? :) Your fall decor and your BOO blocks are SO CUTE Melissa!!! I wish we lived closer....we would have SO MUCH FUN crafting together!!! Can you imagine...me, you, katie, arlena, and stephanie....seriously...people would not know what to do with themselves!!! :)
Love em! Keep em coming girl!
PS- Not sure if I told you, but Im makein FALL blocks and THANKFUL blocks too :)
PSS- If you go to Home Depot and buy scrap 2x4s and have your hubby cut them down into blocks, you will save a TON of money. NOt that $3 is expensive...but you could potentially spend $3 and have over a dozen blocks... just sayin ;)
