In need of a low-cost, last-minute Halloween decorating idea? Blogger Amy Anderson of Mod Podge Rocks has you covered.
With this truly one-of-a-kind idea, the creative craft-lover transformed unwanted holiday ornaments into adorable Halloween decorations you’d never find at the big-box store.
The concept has a very Tim Burton “Nightmare Before Christmas” feel to it, and we can’t get enough.
All you’ll need is some Mod Podge decoupage glue, a newspaper, a few other basic materials, and a free afternoon to get the job done. Pick out some acrylic paint to use and get the kids ready for some fun.
Anderson hung her spooky decorations on doorknobs and cupboard doors throughout her house for Halloween. But you can also display your creations on indoor plants, or simply place them in a bowl for a festive touch. Be creative! Think outside the Halloween box to create Fourth of July or Thanksgiving designs, too!
