On The Second Day of Creepmas

..we'll talk about trees.

There are so many options as far as trees go. Paint 'em black, smother 'em with webs and use bone ornaments. Or do something like the tree above.

I made a small Creepmas tree with webs, a spider, and a Jack Skellington star.

Here are some more trees I found online:


and I spy something black and fluffy...

Speaking of trees... I made this small Halloween tree the other day. It's not the best picture, but you get the idea. All I did was paint a tree limb, find a pot (I used a potion bottle) and attach the mini skeleton and moss. I also added some spider webbing to the branches.

Beginner Haunted Tree

Well I couldn't resist any longer...

I had to post the haunted tree with the 4 grave stones! My mom and I put together the grave (and mounds), but we wanted a tree. Well now there is one! Of course it is made out of cardboard, but I don't have the time to attempt to make a "real" one (too many projects - maybe for next Halloween?). This took approx. 2-3 hours to cut, glue, support and decorate. It took a bit to support the tree due to the weight on the right-hand side. I have it away from the wall (that is a 3-D crow, not a sticker). I had to keep the plots a bit from the door (heavy traffic area). I am going to paint tthe tree so it doesn't look like cardboard (thanks Hubby) & hoping to do a bit more with the scene, BUT here are some pics to show you what I'm so excited about.

Update: October 2nd - The tree scene is finished (not put together, but finished as far as paint goes.) I also added a full moon. I so wish I had black walls! The scene would just really POP then! (Added pics below-wish I had a better camera, but you get the idea...).
