Halloween Party 101. Well not really but let me just tell you I have a thing for crows. I remember when I used to freak out by the thought of a black crow. Now, I smile really big and give them names. I think many people associate a black crow with death and bad luck but shoots, I will go with the positive aspects of them. Here are a few incase you are “dying” to know!

Life magic; mystery of creation
Destiny, personal transformation, alchemy
Intelligence
Higher perspective
Being fearless, audacious

We all cool now? Remember these book/magazine holders I made? Well today I will show you how to spruce up those lovely white pillar candles that you get from Walgreens for 3 bucks. You know which ones I am talking about right?

The religious ones. But I get the plain white ones. I will gladly assume they are blank so I can create my own spiritual fairy on it and pray to “whoever”. Today we are praying to the black crows, and not the band. Even thought I rocked out to them 10 years ago. I wonder if the “Black Crows” (the band) is throwing a Halloween party.

YOU WILL NEED: PILLAR CANDLE | ADHESIVE DOTS | SILK RIBBON | SCISSORS | HALLOWEEN STICKERS

Don’t get me wrong. I love glue. BUT I love adhesive jewels any day. Granted they will not be as durable without glue but for projects like this they rock my world. I got this sheet from Michaels and they were one whole dollar.

Step ONE: Apply the sticky jewels to the outside of your candle. BAM NO GLUE!

Step TWO: Cut a piece of silk ribbon. Look, if you are a die hard fan of ribbon then you know this is the LAND ROVER of silk land. Well, at least I think so. This stuff is 30 something a roll but let me tell you it’s worth it! It’s as soft as a…..bunny’s tail.

Step THREE: Tie three pieces of ribbon around your pillar candle (above the jewels).

Step FOUR: Admire these unique stickers from jolee’s boutique. Are you familiar with this line? I know I am and you will love them too!

Step FIVE: Grab your favorite sticker and place it directly on top of the ribbon. VOILA YO.

Super easy and quite elegant if you ask me. Now elegant in my world is 30 dollar ribbon so to each his own! Don’t forget to check out how you can still win a nice little gift card to Michaels HERE.

Happy Monday Jaderbugs! With Halloween right around the corner everyone is looking for pumpkin decorating ideas, including myself. It amazes me every year how many great pumpkin posts are out there so I always try to decorate pumpkins that are different and fun! I had these gilding sheets from Martha Stewart that I never put to use so I figured this would be the best time to do so. I have tried many different gilding techniques and I can honestly say I am in love with these sheets. Check out all of my pumpkins decorating ideas here! If you love glow in the dark then you don’t want to miss this one!

…LET’S GET STARTED

…YOU WILL NEED: GILDING SHEETS | GILDING BRUSH | GILDING ADHESIVE | GILDING GLOVES | PUMPKIN (FAKE OR REAL)

Don’t forget, you can order all of these supplies by clicking on the links above! These are affiliate links so by doing this you are helping me buy more glitter and fairy dust! *Mucho LOVE

STEP ONE…
Put gilding adhesive into a bowl

STEP TWO…
Apply a think coat of adhesive onto your pumpkin

STEP THREE…
Wait for your adhesive to get sticky (you will feel it) Grab your gilding sheet and apply the silver side directly onto the pumpkin

STEP FOUR…
Take your sheet and simply press it down onto the pumpkin. Notice I am wearing my gloves for this step. You really don’t have to press too hard for this part. I also like to stick the entire sheet down and use my brush to apply a little pressure to the pumpkin.

STEP FIVE…
This is what you will be left with on the pumpkin. It’s like magical shimmer dust. I don’t know about you but this kind of stuff excites me. It reminds me of of those stickers I used as a kid where you would use a popsicle stick to rub it off! Remember?

Today it’s all about Glow in the Dark Pumpkins. I have always loved Halloween so I figured I would get a little creative with my pumpkin decor. I don’t know about you but I am over carving pumpkins, which is why I resort to artificial ones. For one, they last a heck of a lot longer (heller, saving money 101) and they are simply gorgeous the second you purchase them. Have you seen my pumpkin roundup, if not you have to check it out. It’s 20 fabulous ways to decorate your pumpkins!

I get all of my pumpkins from Michaels and right now they are 50% off! I know, I think I will go back again today and get more. This tutorial is good for everyone to do. It’s the kind of project that just makes you feel good! Plus creating is a good way to release anger and and it relaxes you in the process! For the full tutorial click on the link below! Come check out all of my past Halloween crafts here.

DIY Glittered Acorns are on the menu today. I found this little bag of acorns and miniature pinecones at Michaels and I had to pick up a few of them. Call it an addiction but anything “little” has to come home with me!

Now they were simply perfect with it’s natural colors in the bag but I wanted to add a little flare to them, so I added glitter! You can never go wrong with glitter.

If you love to decorate for Fall this is the perfect accent to your decor. You can sprinkle them around your pumpkins, put them in bowls or eat them. Either way they will work out fine for you! Let’s get started.You will need: Bag of Pinecones and Acorns | Glitter | Decoupage Brush
You can purchase all of the items used in this post by clicking on the links above. These are affiliate links so thanks for helping me purchase more acorns and glitter, yo! Step One: Lay out your goodies and stare at them for a minute. Worship them because they are simply that adorable.
Step Two: Grab the glitter of your choice and shake them like a salt shaker. Preferably on top of your head. I am using Martha Stewart glitter in Florentine Gold & Wintermint. Step Three: Get your bottle of decoupage and roll it on a flat surface to wake it up. We need to make sure everything is mixed together well inside of the container. Step Four: Apply a small amount of decoupage on your brush and add it to your acorns and pinecones. While wet sprinkle a little glitter over the glue. Hint: I like to place a sheet of paper under my items to catch the glitter, then I can pour it back into the bottle.

Just like saving whales, we need to save the glitter.
I love the way they came out. Did I mention this is the perfect craft to have your kids do? Seriously it takes about 10 minutes to do them and it dries really fast. I think I will make rainbow ones next. What cha think! See ya in the next post Jaderbugs!

I am so excited to share with you these 20 Amazing Pumpkin Tutorials. Fall is here and it’s that time of year to break out the pumpkins and show off our best designs. For many it’s a time to experiment and see just how creative you can get with decorating your pumpkins. Make sure to share this post all over with your friends and family because they might need to see some of these pumpkin babies! I guess it’s appropriate for me to say, “Happy Fall Y’all”…

This month’s theme for Michaels Makers is Fall Home Decor. Fall is my favorite because the weather is changing, the leaves on the trees are changing, even food tastes better. Today I will show you how to dress up your table with a punch of Fall, surely this will make all of your guests excited! All of the materials I am using today come from Michaels. I hope you enjoy it!

These pumpkins come in different colors so you don’t have to spend time painting them, my kinda pumpkin. They are on sale right now at Michaels so go grab a few. You can do so many different things with these pumpkins. The best part of these pumpkins is they will never rot! So you can bedazzle your hearts away and save them for next year.
These Martha Stewart pumpkin sleeves are phenomenal. They are made from a stretchy mesh material that can cover a pumpkin in no time. The best part is you can take the sleeve off when you get tired of it, leaving you with a blank canvas! I love the lace design on this pumpkin sleeve.
To make our chalkboard pumpkin, tape off the top part of your pumpkin. I am using tape from Martha Stewarts line. Once you have it taped off you can spray paint the bottom portion of your pumpkin with chalk board spray. Make sure you do this in a well ventilated spot. Add some E-6000 to the top of your pumpkin and place the knob on the top of it. This will make your pumpkin look a very classy.On one of your plain pumpkins we will apply these lace removable stickers to them. It adds a pop of class to them. I am placing these adhesive dots on top of each lace sticker. The great thing is you can purchase these in multiple colors. Did I mention this whole sheet is only $1. On your chalkboard pumpkin, grab your Sharpie and write whatever inspires you on the top portion. This is a great time to grab your favorite quote or poem. Don’t forget to grab some chalk for the bottom part.
