FESTIVE FALL DECOR MADE SIMPLE

Fall is finally here and that means that pumpkins, gourds, ghosts, black cats, and cob webs are on everyones shopping lists to create a Halloween inspired entry way or Thanksgiving clad dining room.
The good news is you don't need to spend a fortune to get a fall inspired look in your home, being frugal works wonders for a ghoulish scheme.

Check out the fall garland(below) available at etsy.com or create your own using felt or craft paper and ribbon.


Contemporary Pumpkin Carving made easy; just create a stencil using multiple circles varying in size and you can't go wrong. Faux berried branches (seen below) are available at your local grocery store, craft store, etc.



Want to add a little Halloween spirit to your foyer or create an easy centerpiece for your dining table. Gather branches or twigs from your yard, preferably one with many smaller branches grown off it. Spray paint black and cut hole in pumpkin stem just so the branch sits inside. Create a bat stencil and cut several bats from black construction paper or foam. Tie each bat to a branch using purple, green, or orange string and Presto! An easy (and inexpensive) Halloween motif! (see below)
