Halloween is less than a week away, so let’s talk Halloween DIY decor! Â My challenge was to use things that I already had to style a Halloween mantle! Â With a few inexpensive decorations, random finds in my decor stash and a can of spray paint, I was inspired to decorate a haunted mansion theme on my fireplace.
Spraypaint is the equivalent of mascara for moms on the go! While looking for inspiration in my art room, I found paper birds that I had previously bought from the Little Shop on Bosque in Waco, Texas. Â These white paper birds were only $1, and were used in the Magnolia Market summer display. Â You could use some paper cutouts or cheap plastic bats from the dollar store for a similar effect. Â Therefore, I painted the paper birds with black spray paint.
Next, I found a tree branch in my yard and removed the leaves. Â Then, I spray painted it black, too. Â When the paint dried on the birds and the branch, I used black fishing line to hang the birds. Â Lastly, I attached the branch to the ceiling on a small light fixture.
OR you can… Â Spray paint tree branches black and place them in a vase for a simple centerpiece. Â Then, hang a $1 bag of spiders or bats from the dollar store on the branches. Â Search your neighborhood for natural elements that you can use to create your own Halloween DIY decor.
Decor doesn’t have to be expensive, especially for the holidays. Â A little creativity will allow you to make your own DIY Halloween Decor.
For example, I have collected these brass candlesticks at thrift stores over the past few years that I use for different holidays. Â Then, I placed smaller white pumpkins on top. Â These are cheap orange pumpkins that I spray painted white, too. Just remove the stems prior to painting.
The cat is a dollar store find from a few years ago! I just added some halloween themed ribbon as a collar to make him more festive.
In addition, I found some faux pumpkins in my decor stash that I did not use in my fall decor. So, I spray painted the faux pumpkins black. Â Coincidentally, I have painted these different colors to match my decor for the past three years. Â You could find some cheap pumpkins at the dollar store to paint, too.
Some of my fall decor, like white pumpkins and fall stems transitioned into my halloween decor! Â Real and faux florals and pumpkins look great together!
Next, I piled my collection of real, freshly painted and large faux pumpkins from my fall decor in front of the fireplace.  Lastly, I pulled up my chair with a cozy throw blanket and a Halloween pillow.
