One Scrap at a Time: Halloween Party Decor

Hello blogging friends,

I love decorating my house for Halloween... and if you're going to all that trouble you might as well throw a Halloween party, right! Truth is, I just like having a few friends over.

This year I wanted to try printing on burlap to create a unique home decor piece. I found this digital file by Kolette Hall in the Silhouette Store. This was actually much easier than I thought it was going to be. You can be sure that I will be creating one for Thanksgiving and Christmas now too. I decided to decorate my frame with rosettes. These are quick and easy to make with the Imaginisce i-Bond cordless glue gun. I wasn't sure how many rosettes I wanted, or what size either. So I made several different sizes from black and white pattern papers I found in the Happy Traveler collection. I decorated my rosettes with die cut numbers "31" and puffy stickers. Don't worry, those extra rosettes will be used to adorn some cupcakes.

I love my cordless i-Bond Glue Gun. It's low temp, so I don't have to worry so much about burning myself. It dries really fast... which is good when making rosettes, you don't have to hold them in place very long.
