Halloween Pinwheel hanger

Nearly Halloween time. So excited to take the kids out trick or treating. Every year we come home with TOO much treats! And how much fun to decorate the house all spooky-tastic!!

Here I have made a little pinwheel hanger for the kids.

I used DP from Stampin Up for this. They are called 'Fright Night'. 

I used some black ribbon (recycled from these annoying ribbons you get inside clothing when you buy something new.)

The spider, ghost and pumpkin is from an old pack of K&Co halloween shapes. Love these too bits. Was thrilled when I had some left in my stash to use.

So easy to make these pinwheels. Found a little tutorial board from Jen@The Crafting chicks. So much fun to do though and so versatile. You can use these for heaps of different projects!

Off to make more decorations. Too much fun. Thanks for coming by. Have a good weekend.

The charm was a gift from my friend. The twine is from a local hardware shop. The roses are handcut from the paper to a spiral and rolled.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. I also used an oval and an oval scalloped punch for this.

For my first DT creation, I decided to make a spooky pumpkin display. This will go on my kiddie's window sill in their room at Halloween. My kids LOVE Halloween and I always go mad decorating the house for it.

I used these super cool pumpkin images from the Sundae of Seasons CD. Coloured these in with Pro Markers. Added a bit of glitz with some glitter glue.

I also used some cute little bats from the same CD. I also used some stick on pearls and gems for a bit of extra bling. :)

I layered these pumpkins (they are individual images) on lots of card stock. I attached a strip of folded card at the back so it would stand up. Fun to do and super easy! 

Thanks for coming by. Hope to see you all join in.
