Thread: Frankenstein wreath & painted soup can lid ornaments

Tweet

Hi! My name is Hope,and this is my first post.I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE Halloween.So happy I stumbled across this forum Here is a wreath I made and some soup can lid ornaments I painted.I put up my Halloween tree about a week ago.This is my first time doing one so I don't have a whole lot on it.Hopefully next year it will be jam packed.

Those are lovely, the wreath and tree are so cute. I love the can lid decoration idea.

Thank you! I saw online last Christmas where someone had used the soup can lids as painted ornaments.I did some gingerbread men and peppermints.I figured why not paint some for Halloween too!

Welcome again and nice job on the wreath and tree! Very clever with the lids.

I really like that soup can lid idea! I always try to find ways to use things around the house to save some $$$$ Your tree is beautiful! It is nice regular, but when you light it up man does it pop!

My tree is just green, but I stick a lot of (faux) autumn leafs in and all my ornimates, mostly hand made, and honestly I like it better than my Christmas tree... and not just because I like Halloween so much LOL

Hey, one last thing.... how does everyone react to your Halloween tree? People dont quite know what to think about mine. My neighbors mother asked them if I worshiped the devil because of all my Halloween stuff.... now THAT was funny

Thanks blackfog!

lzrdsgal-I am the same way with saving the money.We use so many cans that have the pull tab lids that I will always have plenty to paint I like your idea of the autumn leaves.I've already seen autumn leaf garlands at the Dollar Tree.I could get some of those and make some felt pumpkins for November.

I used the leaf bushes that they have and just poked them into the tree here and there. When I got done you almost couldnt see the tree LOL. I also hung some of those chopped off feet and hands (not many, Im really not into the gore thing) I also print out things off this web site http://store.oph3lia.com/ and paste them onto thick card stock, put a hole at the top with a ribbon and make them into ornies.

Awesome.Thanks for the link I need to go get some ink for my printer!

Its the easiest if you just copy and paste the stuff in the tiles and coasters section. That way they are already to the size that works best for ornies.

I LOVE YOUR TREE! I have a small one and a few of those ornaments would work, but not to many. I'm wanting to share all these great ideas with my friends, so I've got to get my blog up and going!
