I am totally in the spirit for Halloween!! So I decided to put up all my decorations! I got a lot of them from the dollar tree and some of them I have accumulated over the years from Michael's and other craft stores!
I have a “Halloween” Birthday party for my husband every year! So I decorate my house completely! I will take pictures the day of but here are some of the rooms that I have done!
My Dining Room BEFORE:
AFTER:
I used cob webs and covered my hutch I had a another huge black slider that I hid under it as well!
I have a black leaf garland in the back of everything wrapped in purple lights! I have body pieces all around and in the cake stand! I put tulle over the mirror and hung spiders that I made from the cricut down the mirror!
I cut out the spiders and hung them on the mirror...
I did all different sizes...I then took crazy glue and glued string to the back of them so that it would look like they were hanging from the mirror!
I used a black bed sheet for the “table cloth” with a “cheese cloth” looking material for the runner! I have a
huge spider as the center piece and black candles!
I got black tulle and tied an end to our chandelier then strong it to each corner in the room!
I hung another cloth over the mirror. I put white candles in the sconces but first dripped a red candle on them to look like blood. I put two boas on the fire place with purple & orange lights. There is also two black pumpkins on either side and a black skull! If you look around the fireplace you will see little mice….
I got a black plastic table cloth from the dollar store and ripped it down the middle and hung it as drapes/curtains in to every door way!
I draped tool and tied a bow in the middle and decorated it with pumpkins, mice and a candle!
Good old Martha Stewart! She has the template on her website! I made these last year and they lasted because I laminated each and everyone ! YES it was tedious but it was worth it and a cheap decor! I put them all over the house! In my kitchen, dining room, bathroom and living room! Here is the website:

My center piece on our island! I had a black cloth with holes in it as the runner, a vase with water and red food coloring in it with black roses…eye balls, skulls and black candles!
My kitchen table: witches hat with mice and eye balls!
I covered the light with tulle and cob webs. I also took out the white light bulbs and put dark purple in!
Kevin’s man room: I put a skull garland around his bar and a
witches hat on top!
Small bathroom:
I draped a cloth with holes in it over the mirror…added mice and a cute towel as well as my “Boo Blocks” check out my tutorial for these here!
You all have given me so much inspiration with all your fabulous ideas! Keep them coming! I am still adding more to each room but this is what I have so far! What do you think?
Enjoy!

LOVE it all! My fave i think is the tulle and the spiders you made with the cricut! I may need to steal that idea and use my silhouette to make some rats, spiders and bats!!
looks Spooktacular!!

Thx ladies!!
Kara: Laminate them so you can use them next year!! =)
You've left no spooky detail undone. There are so many interesting items. I think I like how your table turned out with the black sheet and shredded runner and the black leaves with purple lights the best.
found you through the remodelaholic blog and loved loved how you decorated your home...and cute teacher sign...I may have to do that for a couple of my teacher friends...
