Estate sale finds and Halloween crafting
Last year, I purchased a box of award ribbons from estate sale land. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, but I loved the colors and thought I might be able to use them in some type of display at Halloween.
I recently dug through my craft room and found a few things to add to my ribbons.
I'm really happy with how they turned out and they are now part of my Halloween bunting.
I'm using mini clothes pins to hang some of my Halloween treat bags in between the ribbons. After 25 years of Halloween parties, I can't stop tweaking and creating new displays. Have a thrifty/crafty weekend, friends.
AWESOME idea and banner with your ribbons! You are always thinking!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!

Love your ribbon makeover, so cute! The trick or treat bags are perfect on the bunting. Keep on crafting and showing your decor!
ReplyDeleteI love them! And I love your idea about the treat bags! I have collected them for years and that's a great way to display them! Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteOK... those are freaking awesome! love them! And I had to laugh because, I cant stop either. I keep saying.. I'm not putting everything out.. Im not buying any more.. I dont need to do anything else.. but I must not hear myself! we just get these ideas, these pictures in our heads.. we just see something that would be "just perfect, right there"! or... "OH! I can do something neat with that!" or.. "yeah... I dont think I can live without that!" This morning sitting at the kitchen table sipping my tea I looked around the kitchen and thought.. I am completely surrounded by so much cute halloween stuff.. Im like a pig in the mud! and happy as can be! LOL!!

I just love love those old ribbons! I have a pretty big collection of my own from horse shows, but I'm not sure if I could alter them, they are near and dear to me. Yours you decorated look so fabulous! And love the garland you made so colorful and creative!! Treat bags are a perfect little touch! Have a great weekend! xo Holly
