Witchy Ribbons

This couple are enjoying their Harvest dance under the Moon! I used a vintage picture, Halloween garland , added ribbons hanging down, and a ribbon hanger.

Mama Witch on the front side. Vintage picture, ruffled crepe paper, orange glitter, and torn Crepe Paper for the "ribbons", Rick Rack for the hanger. Turn the ribbon over and you will see....

Little Witch, she is decorated the same as the front. She has black and orange glitter around her.

The Old Wicked Witch and her black cat. She is a Vintage picture, black glitter, ruffled crepe paper, and torn crepe paper for the "ribbon" hanging down.


I will be posting the winner for the Mad Tea Party later today.

From Crepe Paper To Halloween Wands

We have searched high and low and cannot find the orange and black or black and white crepe paper garland. So I decided I was going to try to make my own. As you can see in the following pictures I was successful, it actually was fun making it.

Here are my takes on the Cat Wands for Tutorial #4 for the Sweet and Sinister Halloween Swap hosted by ArtsyMama. We have had some awesome projects to put together for Halloween this year. Jennifer Lee of Outrageous Afternoon has a wonderful tutorial for us to make this adorable vintage black cat wand. Be sure and visit her blog and etsy shop for more Halloween goodies.


I used printed paper cut into 2 circles outlined with silver glitter, glued the Black cat with his Black glittered witches hat on, added the paper ribbon banner with Happy Halloween. Placed him onto a white painted dowel rod tying ribbon around the dowel and pushed upward under the banner. The ribbon has black and orange beads on the tips of the ribbon.My 2ND Wand I decided to add a Witches face, stickled her had and ribbon paper. I used an old ribbon spool, added old beads inside of spool, gluing paper onto the spool and making a shaker, then assembled as the above Wand. I used the black and while crepe paper garland that I made around the empty ribbon spool to fill it in.

I used another Cat face to make my 3rd Wand. I used the black and white crepe paper garland on the cats' hat and then around another empty ribbon spool. With ribbon tied around the dowel rod and under the banner. Click on the pics and you can see a close up of each pic.

I won!!! I won!!!! In the Sweet and Sinister Swap by ArtsyMama

I won the first give away on ArtsyMama's Sweet and Sinister Halloween Swap! I won 5 pieces of vintage crepe paper in each of the following colors: autumn gold, black, orange, Halloween images and stone wall. These are all old and in good condition. Also included was a piece of Black Ribbon. I can't wait to use them in a Halloween project.

This was one of the first give-aways for her Sweet and Sinister Swap and The Sweet and Sinister Blog. Her swap filled so quickly she decided to open a Blog so one's that didn't want to do the swap could still do the Halloween projects. At the time of this give away I was on the Blog site, doing the projects and then was lucky enough to get a swap partner, and I am very EXCITED. I have a wonderful partner, We have several of the same interest, just like it was meant for Sherri and I to be together. There was 3 winner's from The Blog and from The Swap!

Kari, thanks for these great blogs. We are having a wonderful time. And THANK YOU for the wonderful Vintage Crepe Paper!
