Looking for ways to involve your little ones in Halloween decorating? Make these 3D paper spiders which use little hands as the template. Click on over! It wasn’t until my daughter, Sylvia, came along that I really began celebrating Halloween. Becoming a parent has helped me see the cooky, spooky fun through her eyes. Now it’s become a bit of a personal mission to find ways to make it special for our family, especially this year. She’s 2-1/2 and is starting to grasp the concept of dressing up and all the “eerie” things that make up Halloween. I say “eerie” in quotations because, come on. She’s 2, and it’s more about fun than actual fright! BTW, she told me she wants to dress up as a ballerina kitty cat, which I think sounds super doable, so hopefully it sticks until the big night! As I was scheming what I could make with Sylvia to decorate the house, I came up with 3D paper spiders that use toddler fingers (or anyone’s fingers!) as the template.

Simple Skull Vase

How far before Holidays do you typically decorate? For me it totally depends on the Holiday. For Christmas, it’s a month-long extravaganza, but for Halloween, it’s much less of a production, just a few decorations and pumpkins, so it all comes out the weekend before. This year will be a fun one, because it’s our first time handing out candy to trick-or-treaters…ever! We’ve been renting in apartments for over a decade, so it’ll be fun to celebrate Halloween in our new home and check out the neighborhood costume display! I made this skull vase from a styrofoam skull I found at the craft store on sale for $4.99 as part of our Halloween repertoire this year, but I like it so much, I might leave it up even after the Holiday passes. Check out the tutorial at Homedit. And Happy Halloween! Follow

Do you have your Halloween costume cued up? If you haven’t checked out the Jimmy Fallon skit with Will Ferrell singing about their “tight pants,” today is your lucky day. Take two minutes, you won’t regret it! Halloween is less than two weeks away, and what would be funnier than to put on your tight pants and hit the costume scene dressed like one of these guys?! Or better yet, grab your man (or bff) and rock it as the dynamic duo. I’ve listed the key sources below, but truthfully you could probably hit up your neighborhood Goodwill or thrift store and find almost everything you need. The only thing you might want to order is the bowl cut wig, so hop to–Halloween is coming up quickly! Already have your costume planned? What are you going to be?! Bowl Cut Wig | Tight White Pants | Striped Mock Turtleneck | Ankle Boots
