"Pinterest Party"--"A Mummy's Night Out"

Last night we had a fun time at our pinterest party! Like most of us, we like to pin projects then they are forgotten about, among our long list of things we would like to do! The purpose of this party was for each person to bring a project that they have pinned for either the Fall Holiday, or Halloween! All of the food table was also from pinterest pins. Here are pictures of our fun event.

Dollar Tree Vampire teeth used for a napkin ring. (Another take home for guests)
I couldn't resist decorating the stair rail with halloween lights and fall leaves. Black garland would look really cute too!
I made this halloween pillow. This was a fun easy project. I bought a 16x16 inch pillow form ( I found them cheapest at Walmart.) I cut out a 16x16 inch square (of the main color) I cut 2 pieces of the same color for the back, 13 inchesx 16'. sew 1 edge on both pieces (this is where you will insert the pillow form.) cut out the contrast color, for the bow 8 inches wide by 36 inches long. place right sides together and sew the sides. now, turn right side out and iron.fold tie in half, length wise and cut in half. turn under 1/4 inch on one end and sew together This will finish off the end of the ties. place with right sides together, first, the piece that is 16x16, right side facing up. next place tie on each side, the end that has not been sewn. fold in towards the center, so when you sew the sides together, the tie will be on the inside. place the 2- 13' pieces left, right side down.so the finished edges are overlapinp each other in the middle. pin all the way around, then sew. turn right side out. insert pillow form, tie bow into a knot. you're done!
I made this withes caldron with feet, inspired by designdazzle.blogspot.com What a way to great the guests! I put this as the center piece on the food table and put dry ice in it. I used another regular withes caldron for our punch bowl. This Mummy's Night out" pinterst party was so fun. all of these friends can not wait until the Christmas one.

A Carmel apple you can decorate with

Fall and Carmel apples just go together!! Let's make one together that will last, won't rot, use year after year!
Items you will need are: Popcycle stick, Fake apple, Glue gun, Delta paint " Toffee Brown" Americana "Light Cinnamon " Acrylic clear spray ( I used matte)
Instructions: 1. Inset a sharp knife at the top of apple, insert popcycle stick in.
2. With hot glue gun, start gluing around the top of the apple, dripping glue on sides. ( This will be the carmel)
3. With a paint brush, paint 2 base coats onto the dripping glue (which will be the carmel) with " Toffee Brown" paint by Delta. When dry lightly paint on the "Light Cinnamon" by Americana.
4. Spray with clear acrylic sealer, this will make the "Carmel" shine. 5. Tie with a ribbon of your choice. ( I used a 3/8 inch X 12: orange. Easy, Cute, Great decorations (Watch out for people wanting to eat it!) Wrap it up in cellophane...great fall gift! 6. I made the glass dish stand, by going to D.I. ( Thrift store) and bought a small glass plate, with a short glass candle holder. I glued both together with "Gorilla Glue" Let it dry overnight, I placed a can of vegetables on top of plate, to make sure it would glue tightly) Have fun, Be Creative, \
