Holiday Gift Tags!

My gift tags I have made and listed in my Etsy shop!

Thanksgiving Crafts

I am planning on hanging this on the curtain rod behind the table during Thanksgiving :) I made this with vinyl shelf liner and a frame from the dollar store! The frame was black, but I just taped it off and spray painted it brown. Easy and adorable, if I do say so myself.

 My place cards for the table- the flag is laminated so I can reuse them every year (even though we always have the same people). I made a few extra incase we get any stragglers joining us.  These took a lot of time to make, accordion folding each tail was a pain, but they are so cute. Oh, and after I finished all of them, I spilled a glass of water all over half of them. Cool.

Halloweeeeen! Decorations

Decorations!


As I said before, these photos are really just the beginning of the decorations.  We had the entire place covered floor to ceiling and every light bulb changed out to either green, black, or strobe.

my foster kitten LOVED the vinyl mouse I made for the living room step, she played with it as soon as I put it up!

last but certainly not least, my bathroom

Halloweeeeeen- Costumes

Halloween is my absolute FAVORITE. Not just favorite holiday, I love everything about it- costumes, scare, glitter, bats, witches, pumpkins, everything.  I go ga-ga over Halloween and wish it could be a year-round event.  Again, I made a major boo boo and didn't document even half of the decorations, but here is what I do have:
Costumes!
 I had 3 this year, the first was a kitty cat, and the ONLY person dressed up. Whatever..

Second, I was Bellatrix for a party the Saturday before Halloween.  I created this costume myself.  I got the clothes from Goodwill and cut them up to make the perfect Bellatrix outfit.  My roommate drew the dark mark tattoo, which was AMAZING and I kind of wanted to get a real tattoo just like it, but not really (yes I did).  Not a soul knew who I was dressed up as, and that made me realize I need cooler friends. I mean come on, I'm Bellatrix, duh!

The Saturday after Halloween was my best costume.  I had been working on it since the beginning of September, and made everything except the top and shoes myself.  I have never made a tutu before, and it turned out really well.  Obviously, I was the Queen of Hearts, and I dressed my Lily up as one of the card people that paint the roses red.  The costume was a hit, and well worth the countless hours I spent creating it.

                                                           

Fall Wine Tags

I update my Etsy shop for fall and made pumpkin shaped wine tags.  Just like the others, they are laminated and are reusable.  I include a dry erase marker to write your name on the tag, and when the party is over you can wipe it off and reuse the tag at your next gathering!

Party Favor Tags

My sister asked me to make tags for party favors for my niece's 4th birthday.  I committed the cardinal crafting sin and didn't take a picture of the finished product, but they are almost finished in this photo.  I punched a hole in the top and added curing ribbon to tie on the favors. They came out adorable and were easy to make.

Admit Two

A good friend and her boyfriend just moved in together and I made this this "admit two" ticket drop box for their new apartment.  They can drop tickets to concerts, movies, and other adventures in the box and remember the good times when they look at the tickets collected.  I used the Cricut to cut the tickets and letters, and the cuttlebug to emboss the little tickets at the bottom to give them some texture. I sawed a slit in the top to drop the tickets in, it was a lot of work but worth it. I love the finished product and so do they, when I came back to take a picture they had already dropped movie tickets in it!

Monogram Wall Decal

I made a monogram wall decal for one of my favorite friend's housewarming gift.  Her initials are NLF, but in monogram format it comes out to NFL :)
