Haunted Halloween Hutch
Last weekend I went to the local Goodwill store. I came home with a bunch of things. Among them were these Halloween decorations. These set me back an entire three dollars. You might not be able to find them that cheaply, but you can buy the pumpkins
I found a place for them on top of the bookcase.
It seemed that something else was needed to complete the look. On the way home from school the other day, I stopped at the hardware store to buy cheesecloth
They set right out to use their claws to tear the cheesecloth
I used painter’s tape
A few friendly spiders helped me out this time. They wove their webs over the top of the bookcase. If you do not have any arachnids living in your house, you can always buy fake cobwebs
The final touch was a rat in a trap
Of course, Halloween pictures should be taken at night. It is only a start, but I am starting to get in the Halloween spirit with my Haunted Hutch. I hope you are too!
Happy Halloween!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house. You can read about my projects on my blog www.CapeofDreams.com
Love that your cats helped create the perfet decor. Also, big plus that you used real cobwebs!
😉 I could not do anything without the helpful critters in my house.
Love the cats playing with the cheesecloth. And your great bargains. Wow! Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
You never know with thrift shops. Sometimes I go numerous times and never find anything, and then one day I find a million bargains. It is hit or miss.
