DIY with mama saigh: Halloween decor.

After the LONGEST hiatus EVER (thanks COVID), Mama Saigh is back on The Jason Show this week with some more ideas for your Halloween decorating! 


Let's start with a fun and inexpensive way to decorate your mantle, front door, or other areas of your home using 3D bats that we found on Amazon...


I found these 3D bats on Amazon (48 bats for approx. $8), and used
them to decorate our fireplace and mantle for Halloween. I filled
apothecary jars from JoAnn's with white skulls, and filled in the
blank spaces with crows, candle sticks, and antlers. 

I also used them to decorate our front door to make it look
like spooky Halloween bats are flying out of our house. The
gorgeous mums are from Costco, the planters and brown pumpkin
are from Lowes, the "Hey There Pumpkin" doormat is by Oh Trendy Baby,
and I found the buffalo plaid doormat on Amazon.


And then there's these DIY Halloween Tombstones that we made using our neighbor's old styrofoam insulation...


Start by using a serrated-edge knife to cut your styrofoam into a
tombstone-looking piece. Don't worry about cutting the perfect shape
because you want the styrofoam to look like stone. Then, paint your
tombstone using a grey paint and let dry. Using a sharpie, you can title
your tombstone using silly, spooky and scary names!



Finally, try making velvet pumpkins at home for a fraction of the price that you'll find in stores...


I started seeing these velvet pumpkins at boutiques everywhere last Autumn,
and I'm still in love with the look. However, at $20+ a pop, these beauties can add up!

Start by cutting a circle of any size in a piece of stretchy
velvet fabric. Don't worry about cutting the perfect circle.

Using a heavier-duty thread and a sewing needle, do a
simple stitch along the outside of the velvet material.

Leave a space big enough to fill your pumpkin up with
half dry rice, and then fill the rest with a Poly-Fil.


Secure and close with a needle and thread.

Next, take your needle and thread all the way down
through the bottom of your pumpkin and back up through
the top a few times to make sure it's secure. Finally, super
glue a stem from a gourd or pumpkin on top!

Our homemade velvet pumpkins were the perfect addition to
our fall table-scape last Autumn!
