Halloween
Halloween is coming soon. I love decorating for Halloween. I know you never know what I am going to write about. I write about weight loss, but this is my place to write about my life.
My life is made up of many things. Crafting is one of the things I do for fun. I actually have a craft room in my house. So when I am not writing about weight loss, crafting is one of the things I do. I do lots of scrapbooking too!
So I cook, clean, decorate, craft, scrapbook, play on social media, exercise, have a family and many other things. I am a mom. That is what we do. I guess everyone is supposed to have a niche. I think my niche is being a Mom. Maybe I should devote different days to different topics. Hmmm! Something for me to think about!
Papercrafting
This is my favorite papercrafting tool. It is a Cricut. The Cricut is a die cut machine that uses cartridges.
I used the cricut to cut the paper to decorate the centerpiece. You can buy the pre-cut pieces at a Michaels, JoAnn's or Archiver's. You could also use stencils or if you are good, you could free hand cut the decorations. You can easily make stencils by printing pictures from the computer.
I purchased my mini bale of straw at Michael's. When I bought it I paid about $3.50 for it. I used paper to cut out all of the decorations, most of which I already had. So I made a cut centerpiece for less than $4.00.
I put this together in less than an hour. It would take longer if you are hand cutting the decorations.
So, if you are looking for a cheap, easy table centerpiece for Halloween, this is it!
Very awesome! I have two friends who love Halloween like no other. :)
