For the most part, I like my Halloween decor to be sophisticated with a touch of spooky rather than having goofy pumpkins or gruesome corpses. I also like creating things that can be used in my slightly spooky decorating year-round. Which is why I really like this project. Well, that and it was really easy!
All I did was take a Dollar Tree frame, add a few coats of glossy black spray paint, and slide in a lovely photo of my late Grandma (she is the one on the left). You can also find creepy old photos online if you would prefer something spookier. I liked using a family photo though and I think that particular one goes well with the frame.
I love how it turned out and along with the candelabra that I found at a thrift store for 75 cents, I think it compliments the antique radio that was looking a little bare when I showed it to you before.
Very cool! Love it!! Hubby and me and DIYers and super bargain hunters, so we are always doing things like that.
ReplyDeleteLove it!

ReplyDeleteACK! I got that EXACT frame with something VERY similar in mind!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!
How fun. Its crazy how a little spray paint can change the whole look. I love your spooky decorating.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I bought this exact frame over the weekend before I saw this post. I'm using it to spruce up the Halloween mantle that is slowly coming together. Here's my version:
