DIY Countdown Halloween Frame

Monday, September 10, 2012

I haven't decorated my house for fall yet, because it still feels like summer here, and as much as I love fall, I am not ready to put away my flip flops or stop going to the pool.

I have started making little crafts here and there, so that I when I do decide to decorate for Fall I'll have everything ready, without needing to go buy stuff, which is so easy to do for me.

Anyway, I made this cute little Halloween frame with just scrap paper that I had on hand, and a Dollar Tree frame. I modpodged the paper and made a little pennant banner, by cutting little triangles and then using some washi tape to attach it to some twine. I had a sheet of sticker letters and numbers, and used those to spell October 31.


 Ridiculousness Alert: You're not gonna believe this, but I had to google when exactly Halloween is. I know...pathetic. In my defense, I am European and I didn't grow up with this tradition. So, I guess this frame is not only decorative, but also serves its purpose as a reminder to silly Europeans that have to google when Halloween is. (You just wait when it's time for Thanksgiving. I don't know when that is either).

So, go grab a frame and make your own little free decor to put on your mantle. Are there common sense things that you have to google, or am I the only one that does that?

Hugs,
Iuliana

      Oh Allison, thank you so much. Now I can tell people that the reminder is for the sake of the kids that will be Trick or Treating who will be hoping for candy at my door.

    This is really cute and easy to recreate! I'm gonna use this for November and December also. Great idea!!

    I usually have to google Thanksgiving every year because I use the calendar on my smartphone most of the time instead of a wall calendar. And I'm American! LOL!!
