Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by. I wanted to share a Halloween tree with you that I made.


This is the tree. I just ♥ black and orange and making Halloween decorations. I think I will sit this on my dining table.


All I used was a piece of black poster paper and folded it into a cone shape. I then taped the seam with packaging tape. The garland was bought at Wal Mart. It is really cute black sparkly garland with little pumpkins on it. I wrapped the garland around the cone shape and used my cool melt glue gun to hold it in place. Really quick and easy.


I then decided my tree needed a topper. I cut out a black cat using cardstock and used 2 thicknesses of it, glued them together, sprayed the front and back with pray glue and added black glitter. The cat really sparkles.


This is the cat up close.


Then guess what !?! I decided my little cat would be cuter with some eyes. I glued the little plastic eyes you can find at any craft store.


Here is the little guy up close. Now he has some personality Ÿ


All finished and sitting on the table. What do you think? Quick, easy and inexpensive. My kind of project Ü

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will leave a comment and let me know you were here. Hugz, Diane
