I need something to keep my mind off the fact that I'm still pregnant. I've decided that I'm going to set my heart on the possibility that I might have to be induced a week after my due date. Therefore, in no more than 18 days, tops, I will have a baby. I can do that. Positive thinking. Only 18 more days. So in order to stay distracted I whipped up some fun decor for All Hallow's Eve which I will now share with world wide "webbers". Hehe.
What we're making: Distressed Spooky Drapes
Supplies needed: Black plastic heavy duty garbage bags, sharp scissors, masking tape
Time: 15 minutes per bag
Level of difficulty: Easy peasy
1) Distract the dog with his favorite treat so he'll stay out of the way.
2) Lay a black plastic heavy duty garbage bag on a flat surface with the open end towards you.
3) Trim off 2" from the bottom to get rid of the drawstring.
4) Using sharp scissors, cut 1 to 2" vertical strips going from the bottom to about an inch from the top. Perfection isn't necessary.
5) With your hands a few inches apart, grab each strip (there will be two pieces) and tug and pull each strand in different places.
Tips: Pull very gently at the top because it breaks easily. Pull some places longer than others to vary the lengths of each strip.
6) It should look something like this:
7) Tape to a door or over windows for eerie Halloween decor!
I love fast, easy, and cheap holiday projects :)

Very creative Paige!
ReplyDeleteWow! Way too fun and cheap! LOL. I have a TON of these bags. Maybe I should hang these the entire length of our walkway (it's long!) for Halloween. That'd be so fun and creepy! :-)
ReplyDeleteBut you know what is the most brilliant part of this project? Giving Joey a treat to keep him busy. ;-) Brilliant, I tell you! I have GOT to remember that next time I need to keep the pups busy. Now what do I do for Kissa? Put her on the back porch? LOL. Maybe she'll need some quality Vitamin D time. ;-)
1. Joey is a good lookin' dog, even blurry.
ReplyDelete2. Our house is spooktacular! and I love it!
