Everywhere we look, there’s Halloween stuff out on the shelves. Including mine! I’ve never been big on Halloween, but since we live pretty close to all of my husband’s family (and mine drives in often) and have a “party house” in a neighborhood where the good candy is handed out, everyone gathers here for a potluck dinner before going out to beg for candy. Little by little, I’ve started buying cutesy spooky stuff to dress the house for fall and Halloween. We’ve been decorating a Doodlebug house, and will share when it’s finished. In the meanwhile, here’s another banner. . . one that no longer lives here at my house:
It was hard to get a good picture, but I like this one ’cause it shows all the pretty ribbon. I think I might need to make another. . . it looks good there on Grandma’s old China cabinet!
Since that one was so glare-y, I snapped individuals of each letter (somehow forgetting the first pennant):
Here’s a detail of the Frankenstein dude:
Fun project, and pretty easy to figure out what supplies were used. Let me know if you have questions, and I’ll edit this post to include what was used.
Have a great week, everyone!

Wonderful banner. You know how to dress things up.
Thanks for playing along! I thought this was too fun.
Very cute banner! My hubby and kids love Halloween; I could take it or leave it. I think I’m going to pick up one of those Doodlebug houses and fun paper to let the kids decorate and maybe a banner too! Thanx for the inspiration!
Ooooooh, I *love* everything about it.
ROCKS doesn’t even cover it.

Oh my goodness! My first pet was a poodle named Barney!! We’re you, Sharon and I seperated at 4 years old? Love your banner!! It’s adorable!
LOVE it! What did you use for the triangles? cardstock or painted chipboard/cardboard?

So cute! I’ve never been much of a Halloween person either but since becoming a demo and seeing all the wonderful things we can do…I’m learning to like Halloween a lot more! This banner is awesome!!
I love your adorable Halloween banner! Awesome!
Love your banner! what supplies did you use and was it hard/time consuming to do? I didn’t like banners when I first saw them, but I think I’m about to climb on the banner band wagon. 🙂 Mint chocolate chip Snickerdoodle, huh? And I thought my gansta name was wimpy! (Rocky Road Blonde Brownie).
Love your blog! I check it every day!
Hugs,
Pam Downs
The Black Butterfly is certainly creative!! LOL
Love your banner … that black sparkle is divine!
(((hugs)))
WOW!!! Just love it…It is so adorable. I just love your site and I visit all the time. Did you use chipboard for your triangles? Also, I am assuming that you used the slit punch to make the scallops….Way to go…I love your stuff.
So cute! I want to do stuff like this for my house next year once we are more settled. I figure no time this year with closing on the house right at Halloween. Hope you are having a good day Jenn!
