Easy Halloween Décor – Repurposed Frame

I think Halloween may just be more fun to decorate for than Christmas. Less pressure but all the fun and no lights to untangle.

One of my favorite home decor projects is the repurposed frame.  I use an old frame I have around the house or a thrift store find. For this project, I used a black tabletop 5x7 frame and created a Halloween scene inside using Echo Park paper and stickers.




I used the Chillingsworth Manor collection and one of the papers in this line had October written on the B side.  I used that as my base.  To create the scene, I used a large journaling card with a haunted house and big full moon.  I messy stitched a few circles around the moon for a playful touch. Once I had the basic scene created, I added stickers on top of the journaling card.


Since I was putting the scene under the glass of the frame, I didn't want to have anything bulky on the page.  But I did create a little dimension by backing the stickers with cardstock and by using pop dots in a few places.  I also added a little spider hanging from twine, using orange licorice from Trendy Twine.  The playful skeleton from the Echo Park sticker sheet was the perfect ending touch to bring scene together.




Here's a close-up of the bottom of the frame.  This was a fun, fast, Halloween project.  My favorite kind!

Thanks for stopping by. Happy hauntings!
