Spooky Halloween Tree





I love love love Fall decor so last year I made a spooky Halloween tree...and this year, my mom made mine for me, altogether, the idea is the same. You find random branches from old trees, scrub oak branches are the best and easiest to find because there's always dead ones here and there. I found mine in a field near my house (try and avoid your neighbor's trees :) You can make a big one or a small one depending on your personal preference. Then you spray paint them black, stick them in green floral foam, stick that in a pot and call it good. From there you can either put that fake moss over the base, or you can find a fall-ish patterned dishrag and put it around the base. Then you decorate it with small ornaments you can find at craft stores. I got mine at the Rock Loft and Taipan. You could even make your own if you are on a budget, or wait until the week before Halloween and get them at a discount. After last year, I bought some the day after Halloween and got a screamin' deal. I plan on buying a few more ornaments each year to add to the this one, or to make another one. You could also buy one, but that takes some of the crafty fun out of it doesn't it, but those are adorable too-Jamie has a cute one she will post soon. They are perfect for a table centerpiece or an entry way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

  4. IKEA has little black and orange Christmas balls that would work great on a little Halloween tree.
