EyeBall Halloween Door Decoration-Super Simple and So FUN!!!

And now we are fully decorated and ready for Halloween.  The Haunted Mansion sign out front is up every year! The vinyl is available in our Etsy shop so you can make one too. Click here to see our blog post that tells how we made the sign.  The door decoration is new as of today. It was so much fun to do and we didn't have to buy anything……already had all the supplies.

We used a 3", 2", 1.5", ¾" and ½" round paper punch to make the different sized eyeballs.  You can use whatever size punch you have.  We added in the Halloween messages using lime green scrapbook paper. I was going to use black butcher paper, which I would have had to go out and buy, but my daughter said, "Why don't you use a black plastic tablecloth"  I already had one in my Halloween box unopened and ready to use. YEA!!! 

The black plastic tablecloth was perfect!  It clung to the door immediately and made it so easy to place and cut to size. It measured 108" long and 54" wide.  I glued the eyes on the eyeballs with a glue stick and then used double-sided tape on the back of the eyes.  The tape did a great job of keeping the eyes on the tablecloth but we could still take them off and move them around when we were designing it. We used the double-sided tape to put the lettering on too. Super Simple! 

Whatever size eyeballs you use will be perfect. Use your imagination and make the design truly yours.  We used white and black cardstock for the eyes and lime green for the lettering. .You could even use google eyes if you like. They come in all different sizes from very small to large. 

Cutting out the hole for the door nob was kind of tricky and we had to stabilize the area round the door knob so we used black electrical tape for that area and to stick it to the sides of the door.  We used 60 sets of eyes for the door. Use less or more if you like.

We love putting these signs we made out in the flower garden every Halloween-Next year I think I'll change the messages on each one!

We love putting these signs out in the flowerbeds for Halloween-They are just fun!

Halloween Decor Bat Garland-Super Simple to Make

 Here's a super simple way to make a bat garland. We used the EK Success bat punch and a sewing machine. The bat, itself, measures 2 1/4" wide and 1 1/2" tall.  We were able to cut out enough bats for a 48" garland using only 2 pieces of 12x12 black paper. There are 30 sets of bats in our garland. If you spaced out the bats you could make it longer and use the same amount of bats.

 We were able to cut 34 bats out of one piece of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper.

 We put two bats together and sewed down the middle of the bat in a straight line. Leave an inch or two of thread between each bat. (Be sure to use a thread that matches your scrapbook paper when sewing them together)   If you wanted to only use one bat you could do that too.

After you're done sewing the bats together, bend both wings outward to create a 3D effect.

 This is a very easy project to do. Could use it in your Halloween tree, as a banner across your mantle or draped across a window. Would look cute as a table runner on your buffet table too or even on a wreath---Use your imagination!  Since you are making it yourself (as opposed to a purchased kit) you can make it as long or as short as you want. Add some glitter on the bat wings for a different look. We purchased our EK Success bat punch at JoAnn's

Your bat garland doesn't have to be made out of all black scrapbook paper. Use multiple Halloween colors for a unique look and add in a black one here and there.

You can use the bats above for a Halloween tree as shown here. SOURCE
