double trouble

I love Pinterest! Love. Love. Love. However, I do not like have my boards brimming full and me never doing any of the projects, so I am constantly deleting and updating my Pinterest boards. 

Here is a project I recently finished for Halloween (I know. I know. Summer isn't all the way over yet.)


You can check out my inspiration website here.


  • I painted all the blocks their base colors and then painted on most of their accessories like Frankenstein's scar, the pumpkin's mouth, and the witches black bottom. 
  • I used large google eyes for all of them for uniformity (trust me, the pumpkin looked weird and out of place with triangle eyes). 
  • My hubby drilled holes and screwed in bolts. 
  • I used jute for the witch's hair, glued a ribbon around her middle, and used a button for her buckle. 
  • The mummy is wrapped in tule. I wanted to use gauze, but ever the pragmatic one, my hubby thought that was an expensive choice. My tule was ultra thin and about 4 inches thin. I twisted the tule to double up the thickness and wrapped it kind of tight. So now you can see that it is, in fact, a mummy with its texture and my cleverness. 
What holiday(s) do you like to decorate for?
