DIY Halloween luminaries made from glass condiment jars are so incredibly simple! They are covered with napkins and Mod Podge. A little battery operated candle tea light or a tea light can be used to illuminate them. Instructions for these can be found here â–ºHalloween luminaries.
The skeleton 'wreath' adorned our front door for Halloween in 2015. Complete instructions can be found here â–ºSkeleton Wreath. The sign was created on Picmonkey.com and then printed and Mod Podged to a foam core poster board. The leaves were from our yard and they were Mod Podged, too.
Halloween has to be one of my favorite times of the year! On this page, you will find some Halloween decorating ideas and the inspiration for some adorable costumes. Hope you enjoy!
As you can see here, I kind of had a skeleton theme going on this year! These tiny skeletons gave extra interest to the dining room tablescape. Details about the tablescape can be found here â–º Halloween tablescape.
This year, 2015, Sophia wanted a fairy costume, but not just any costume. She had a vision. She knew what colors and how it would look. She wanted a floral headpiece with ribbons, a vest, and the ribbons on her legs were actually my idea.
More details on this costume can be found here â–ºA Little Fairy.
The Wonder Woman costume was from Halloween 2013. For details on this costume, click hereâ–º Wonder Woman.
This Audrey Hepburn-inspired outfit is probably my favorite so far! Details for this outfit can be found here â–ºAudrey Hepburn.
Last year, in 2014, Sophia decided she wanted to be a cowgirl. We have a costume, which her mother wore for an ice skating competition years ago. I had to replace the elastic and restitch a few places, but it looked pretty cute in the end. I had to order some silver gray cowboy boots online. We couldn't find a silver hat, so after removing the silver tiara on it, I spray painted her bright pink hat silver and added some royal blue sequined trim. It was the finishing touch.

This Little Red Riding Hood outfit was adorable, but I cut the tulle into strips for the skirt and the white apron. You see so many of those made that way. Well, as you can see in the picture of the kids standing in line, the tulle kept creeping up horribly! Even if I combed it down with my fingers, it had crept back up in no time.
I learned my lesson and will gather tulle from now on and never use the cut and tie method!
The crushed red velvet cape was lined in satin. It was adorable. I used a pattern for this, but extended the length and, unlike the pattern, lined the hood and cape.
