Turning Trash to Treasure for a Witch Halloween Theme
As you can see, we did a mix of both homemade and store-bought decorations. Some of my favorite elements started with pieces I picked up from the trash like one piece of a bi-fold door used to make this tall witch supply pricing board as well as the mirror and the trunk.Another favorite element was this directional sign. I had planned to have to cut the arrows out of wood myself until I spotted these wooden arrows at Michaels and my heart skipped a beat. So easy and so impactful. (Don't forget this value bag of Spanish moss which pretty much spookifies everything in an instant!)
I can't tell you how much I look forward to this post every year! This is easily one of my favorites! (And not just because you mentioned me in the post.)

DeleteAmazing as always! My son is about Agatha's age and also obsessed with witches and flying. Is Agatha watching that same YouTube kids video? Lol :-)
ReplyDeleteNo Youtube videos but she loves a Netflix short based on a Julia Donaldson book called "Room on the Broom" . She would watch it all day if we let her.
DeleteAs usual a spectacular job! Well done.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI too am a longtime lurker to your site! I have been checking almost daily now for a couple weeks and was so excited to see the post with this year's theme! I love it! You always do such a great job! We go all out for Halloween and I am still trying to figure out my costume and thought about a classic, spooky witch and your post gives me the inspiration to go with that idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca - I hope I inspired your costume. Would love to see what you decide to go with.
DeleteShe has grown so much!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! You can practically see the unimpressed teenager in there somewhere :)
DeleteOMGoodness, the witches are so cute and the brooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sammy!
DeleteThis is amazing and definitely my favorite theme. Then again as a child I went as a witch at least three times for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa. Me too!
DeleteI hope you know that your enthusiasm for spookfest decor and celebrations will create the best of memories for your family. The fun will get even better when your own little Boo-Boos start to take part in the planning and making; you'll be amazed at how much they'll inspire and challenge your creativity. Your Hallow'een outdoor decor is 'bootiful' as always, and I loved how you gave all the witches masks a different personality, but my favourite is the signage on your glass window by the front door. As a typography obessed word lover, I drooled a little when I saw that display. Would you mind sharing with your 'pretties' how you did that? (Oh, pretty, pretty please, with gnewt's eyes and jellied bees!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Soul Scribbles. I normally just draw on the glass with a chalk marker but I have a certain 3 year old who is a little bit obsessed with wiping whatever I've just finished off so I used a cricut machine (a desktop laser cutting machine) to cut some vinyl for the wording. Hope that helps!
DeleteLOVE IT! How do you make all of your customized signage?
ReplyDeleteMakes me super inspired for my own Halloween party this weekend! Hope you and the kiddies have a blast!
Where did you get your witches? Did you make them with masks, or were they already pre-made as a whole? I love them!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I really love love this theme - all the details are so creative and fun. I love that you manage to make every year seem fresh and new. I'm not a huge Halloween decorator, but I love this. The witches and the door sign and the arrows and especially the broom decor. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd that typography on your door is so awesome - I'm always inspired when I've seen you do this, and you have officially made me want to do this when I start decorating for Christmas.
