As my t-shirt yarn kick continues I created a two layer wreath using ribbon and t-shirt yarn. I love Halloween and one can never have too many wreaths hanging around. I think it might be time to investigate some table top wreath stands.

A few months ago I picked up a crappy, plastic, cupcake stand kit at Target on clearance knowing something would come of it. Out came the spray paint this past weekend and I knew just what needed a coat. I assembled the stand and spray painted it black. After it dried I glued orange velvet flower ribbon to the edges. Now it is time to get to baking so I can fill it up with some devilish desserts.

I picked this plain gourd up last year at a day after Christmas sale at Pottery Barn. I have had it rolling around my studio since then and finally the inspiration came to me for how I wanted to paint it. I went to the Tim Burton show at LACMA this summer and was so inspired by his imagination and characters. Thanks to my friends Jill and Scott for taking us. I channeled Tim Burton for this wonky little guy that now inhabits my dried gourd.

I created this Halloween Hounds-tooth Wreath by wrapping a grapevine wreath with black ribbon. I then used purple velvet ribbon and black and white hounds-tooth ribbon cut on an angle and glued them to the bottom. For the skulls I used the top of plastic rings that I found at the dollar store and spray painted them black and white. I added more ribbon at the top to hang it from and now I have it to enjoy for this, my favorite holiday.

I used my Gypsy, my Cricut and several different cartridges to create a fun cheater Halloween costume idea. I cut shapes out of different colored card stock and attached them to wooden BBQ skewer sticks with glue. They will sit in the vase for party goers to pick up, hold up to their faces and play a character. This is a great thing to have around at your Halloween party for those cheaters who think they are going to get out of wearing a costume. Ha – we’ve got that covered!
Here are where each of the cuts came from.
Mustache: Bump in the Night Cartridge
Glasses: Forever Young Cartridge
Kissing Lips: Love Struck Cartridge
Bow Tie: Paper Doll Dress-up Cartridge
Jack-O-Lantern Mouth: October 31st Cartridge
Vampire Teeth: Pumpkin Carving Cartridge
