Hello! I am Melissa from 320 Sycamore. I’m honored to be here at 3 Sunkissed Boys, especially since I have 3 boys of my own!
These boys love spooky and scary and spiders, so we decided to make the downstairs mantel just for them, on a budget of course. You see, here is my nice, non-offensive wannabe mantel upstairs:
and here is their spooky one downstairs:
Downstairs is obviously where the fun is…
The pumpkin topiaries are just some old flower urns I spray painted black and stacked some $1.29 pie pumkins from the grocery store.
The silhouette spiders are Martha Stewart from Michaels big Halloween clearance last year: a dad, a mom, and 5 little ones, just like our family
The ghosts were super fun to make: cheesecloth drenched in liquid starch, and then placed over a ball on a stand to let dry and eyes cut from black paper.
Don’t they look like they have a mysterious spell cast on them?
The branches are courtesy of some backyard bushes:free! and the stretchable web was also from clearance last year~we put some lights underneath to give it more of an eerie feel.
The boys made the faces on the pumpkins and they are ready to be carved
Thank you for letting us hang out with you here today, Yanet! You are all welcome to come visit anytime at 320 Sycamore!
