Introducing our Halloween Tree!
The Todd has taken to calling me “Good Housekeeping with a taste for blood.” We spent a wonderful afternoon yesterday making our Halloween Tree. I’ve seen fancy, stupidly expensive black trees at the decor places, but I’m not paying $300.00 for a black tree. I picked a nice sturdy branch, clipped off most of the leaves, and The Todd spray-painted it black and put it in a cheap galvanized pail with “Quick Set”–it’s a fast-setting post mix for about $7.00. You can also use sand if you don’t want to get into the cement thingie. Nearly everything you see on the tree here is either from the Dollar store or homemade. I used spanish moss and fake cobwebs to add a three-dimensional look to the tree. Those adorable paper lanterns are from the Dollar store, too. Is Halloween not the BEST holiday?
Look at you, you crafty queen!! So cute and such a good idea….do you have any extra branchs? (I just KNOW that The Todd would LOVE a reason to break out his chain saw again!) Did you put the cute little spitter(spider), I gave you, on your tree? Oh never mind, I guess that was a magnet?
I love this!!!! Such a cute idea.
I love it, so cute, I have a halloween tree too and its my favorite decoration!!
Thanks for participating in Fall Family Friday!! Love your tree, too–and even cooler that it’s a real tree branch! Fun!
