Halloween Takedown

This week I am taking down all the Halloween decorations to make way for Christmas! I don't have any Christmas decor yet... so this year I am starting from scratch and I am very excited to do as many DIYs as possible! I had so much fun making my felt ghosts that I just couldn't stop! Here are some shots of my Halloween decor before I took it down:  
This garland I made from several sheets of scrapbook paper. I cut out the images, and hung them on string! I am mildly obsessed with making garlands now and have plans to add quite a few to my shop.
 This awesome skull garland I found at Micheals! I really have to exercise restraint when going into that store during any holiday season. Can you relate?
And now for my masterpiece(s) - I painted these four acrylic paintings from scratch! I have a lot of canvases and paints laying around... I combined some ideas I found on Pinterest and I created these:
The spiderwebs one I made using a felt spiderweb coaster I got at Micheal's (similar to the garland above) then I dipped it in black acrylic paint and stamped away. The handprints were originally going to be turned upside down into ghosts, but mine didn't turn out so well so I just left them as they are!

 What are you up to this week?
