With good ol’ quarantine still going strong, my cabin fever has been battling with the desperate need for all things Halloween. My compromise? One trip to the Dollar Store, Target, a local winery, and a thrift store to buy all sorts of goodies to make my own decorations (all while masked of course). Bank account approved and uses up some of the crafting supplies I have accumulated over the years. With a little inspiration from Pinterest and some assistance from Google images, I present my creations!

Materials: wine corks, hot glue gun, fake fall leaves, twine, and paint

Materials: foam pumpkins, flannel shirts, twine, cinnamon sticks, and scissors

Materials: plastic skull, assorted fake flowers, foam pieces for flower arrangements, and scissors
*For balancing purposes, I ended up needing to hot glue 2 wine corks to either side of my skull but I think it gives my skull a little extra pizzazz.

Materials: rinsed bottles (3 wine and 1 maple syrup), paint, and paint brushes

Materials: rinsed wine bottle, hot glue gun, paint, paint brushes, fake flowers, and plastic eyeballs
And because I am a crazy cat lady, I obviously needed to include pictures of my boys.


If you’d like to know how I made anything, let me know!
