Black and White Striped Halloween Wreath

September 10, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

It shouldn’t come as any surprise by now that I love stripes. I LOVE them! I have created a number of striped projects over the years, but the one that I keep coming back to are striped wreaths. I love them! I love having a different striped wreath for each season and holiday. It just feels right! This black and white striped Halloween wreath was meant to happen. Nothing screams Halloween to me more than classic black and white.

If you haven’t ever made a wreath before, don’t get too scared about making one. They are easy, fun, and typically cost a lot less to make than you have to pay for a finished wreath. [Read more…]

Halloween parties are in full swing and there is no better way to socialize than over fantastic food. When you are surrounded by great company and delicious food, you are almost guaranteed a hit when it comes to throwing the perfect Halloween party. If we are being completely honest with ourselves, Halloween is more about the dessert than the actual meal. Focus on a fun dessert that will bring your party guests together!

These chocolate candy apple pops are sure to bring party guests together. They can be made before the party or as part of the party by creating a station where guests can make their own chocolate candy apple creations. [Read more…]

Floral Pumpkin Mod Podge Craft

October 18, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Several years ago, I saw a tutorial for a damask pumpkin that I totally fell in love with. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make one of my own. I did and loved that pumpkin for years, but now damask isn’t quite my style anymore. That is why I knew I needed to make a new Mod Podge pumpkin, a floral pumpkin!

I love how bright and fun this floral pumpkin is! It reminds me a little of the Day of the Dead, which I also really love! This floral pumpkin is really easy to make and the best part is that you can customize it to be whatever pattern you like. If you want stripes, damask print, flowers, polka dots, etc. The possibilities are endless! Here is what you will need to make your own… [Read more…]

Willy Wonka is a family favorite at our house. We love the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the movies.

No Sew Baby Little Red Riding Hood Costume

October 6, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

Dressing a baby up for their first Halloween is something I truly look forward to. I was excited to come up with my own version of a baby Little Red Riding Hood costume and I am pretty much obsessed with how it turned out!

As if the costume wasn’t cute enough, probably the greatest part about making this costume is that it doesn’t require a sewing machine! Literally the only “sewing” was putting a little stitch through the giant button. Originally, I was going to just glue it on but I didn’t want it to come off when my baby pulled on it so I decided to stitch it on. If that is all of the sewing that It takes to make my baby a costume, I will take it!

To make your own, you need… [Read more…]
