One of my favourite things about America is Halloween. It is the _best_ time of year. The fall colours are ripe all over the trees, pumpkins are everywhere and the cool chill returns to the air giving that spooky feel. But better than that is you get to dress-up in costumes and pretend that things that bump in the night are creeping around.
Yesterday I decided to get in the spirit of things and decorate my mantle with a few bits & bobs. I was inspired after picking up a few things from the thrift store for super cheap! I picked up two jack'o'lanten candle holders for $1.50 each & the ghost candy dish for $1. I picked up two bags of candy corn which cost me $3, and poured them in layers into a vase I already had. I picked up the R.I.P gravestone {$1.99} & the orange lights {$5.99} from Michaels. Oh and the black card {$1.99}, which I made the bats from. Making my halloween display come to a massive $17!
I feel like it is missing something so I'm going to use some more of the black card to make spiders and hang them from the ledge. But overall I'm happy I could create something for less than $20.
I love how it looks, especially at night!
Did you do any decorating for Halloween this year?
