Trick-or-Treat Candy Jars

I hope you aren't too tired of Halloween projects yet, I told you I had a bunch! :) One final project inspired by Brent Steele's presentation at convention with the Halloween products from the Holiday Mini: Trick or treat jars!

When Brent created a project using the "trick-or-treat" portion of the Spooky Things Decor Elements, he adhered the words and Designer Jewels onto white pumpkins. When I went to our local craft store and saw that they wanted $22 for an artificial pumpkin (!!!) I nearly had a heart attack and decided there must be something less expensive that I could use that would still have the same cute, creative effect...then I thought, "what better project to represent Halloween than candy jars?" so I went back to the glass jar section and picked up 3 glass jars (which were half-off, for a total of $2.50!!).

I went home and adhered the "trick-or-treat" words onto the glass and then transferred portions of the Black Flourish Designer Jewels onto the jars. Putting some colorful Halloween candy into the jars will give them the perfect finish, although our store didn't have Halloween candy out on the shelves yet, when these pictures were taken, but you get the idea. ;)

Oct 31 Luminary

Another project inspired by Brent Steele at convention: Halloween luminaries using the Spooky Things Decor Elements from the Holiday Mini. The decor element images are so versatile and there are so many creative projects that you can make with them! These luminaries took a little bit of time, so I decided that instead of making 6 of them (like he did), I'd make one for the inside of my house and save the other pieces of decor elements for a couple of other projects I have in mind, which I will share with you after I complete them. Hubby frowns upon decorating my house too early for any one holiday so I'll have to wait until I decorate to share those project ideas with you. ;)

Halloween Frame

This project was inspired by a project in the Holiday mini catalog featuring the Spooky Things Decor Elements. I simply applied the "Happy Halloween 31" decor element onto the glass portion of the frame, and then decorated a piece of Whisper White card stock to place behind the glass. I applied a few punches bats to the front of the glass and tied a piece of retired Rich Razzleberry ribbon around the glass before inserting it back into the frame.
