5 DIY Recycled & Re-purposed Halloween decor ideas

I love Halloween...it's right around the corner & I had fun this year with little DIY recycled & re-purposed bits & pieces around the house that make it so easy to add pops of FUN & a bit of Scaredom!

 Use wine or champagne glasses upside down & *capture* some Halloween art or even a spider inside.

 I just took some of our House of 3 Halloween art (Haunted Trees & Haunted Dingbat font) & printed out on my Epson R1900 inkjet printer on Epson inkjet transparencies...

 You can see through them & they look cool in a bell jar, glass or even in a Mason Jar like I did with these jars in the Spring & last Christmas!

Add some mini banners to a wreath you already have....

I just printed out the mini banners on some sticker paper & folded them over some baker's twine. This wreath has a styrofoam base, so I simply pinned the banner into the wreath. DIY=super easy!

To add a little fun in the center of the wreath, I took 3 toothpicks, wrapped the sticker paper onto the toothpicks & glued a pearl on the top. (note: the 'happy halloween' is not included in the kit.)

Use Glimmer Mist to add color to your DIY coffee filter flowers & lollies made out of old newspapers. 

Video tutorials found here: coffee filter flowers.  

lollies.

If you look closely....i added a bit of 'creep' to it...the newspaper is the obituaries from a year ago! eeeeek!

Recycle gift wrap! Here, I've taken some of the black & white polka dot giftwrap & made a lolly out of it. 

I added a crepe paper flower to it in the center & used the new House of 3 Ornate Alpha Monogram brushes kit to make the 'boo' banner!

Make a birdcage chandelier out of recycled cardboard boxes & broken jewelry!

I *love* the black cardboard boxes our House of 3 Wall Art & Heart Boxes come in & I cut it apart to make a birdcage for Halloween. Added some broken jewelry to the bottom of it (with a Heart Box chandelier crystal) & put a spooky crow inside!

happy diy crafting!
