Bat Silhouette.

I’ll just get right down to it because I see no way to be more descriptive of this than “bat silhouette.”

I got the 4×6 frame at Dollar General (I usually have a stash of them because they look fairly nice and only cost 2 bucks) and took the glass out.

Then I cut my background paper to size and cut out a bat silhouette.  I got the template from MarthaStewart.com.  You should really check it out – she has hundreds of Halloween silhouettes.

I finished my bat off by outlining him with silver Stickles.

As far as Halloween crafts and decor, I don’t see how you can get easier or cheaper than that!

(I’m not going to insult your intelligence by posting a tutorial picture of my scissors, glue, paper, and Stickles.  You are welcome.)

Glittery Jack-O-LANTERN.

I got this idea from Be Different Act Normal (http://bedifferentactnormal.blogspot.com/).  If you haven’t gone over there yet, you totally should; she has some of the cutest ideas!

 

For this, I Mod Podged orange tissue paper to a quart Ball Mason Jar.  Then I cut the mouth and eyes out of black cardstock and mounted the face on the jar with Mod Podge.  Of course, being me, I had to add glitter!  So I glittered the face and the eyes.  The only warning I would give you would be to let your Mod Podge dry 24 hours before applying the glitter.  Obviously I did not so I have a little stray glitter.  I have a candle inside the jar also to make it a true Jack-O-Lantern!
