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
