Hi everyone we’re back!! We took a little break from blogging after October ended, but now we’re back with lots of Fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas posts planned! Today’s post is a DIY that’s inspired by a pretty popular pin on Pinterest — a Fall leaf candle holder!

DIY Insect Faux Taxidermy
I know with every DIY post we say something like “this is our favorite, cheapest, most simple DIY yet!”. But it’s actually true for this one! It’s a gorgeous DIY that’s perfect for Halloween, but it can also be a great decoration for any time of the year! There are only two simple steps to make it, and it costs about $2 to make!
DIY Halloween Wreath
We were at Joann’s earlier, and we saw this gorgeous wreath:
But it was $50! For us that’s just too much to pay for a wreath. It’ll probably be on a huge sale by the time we post this, but surely not for as cheap as our DIY version!
$1 DIY Skull Planter
Here’s one of our favorite DIYs we’ve done this season! A skull planter that is so easy, and only costs $1 to make! Plus the cost of your plant, of course. And paint, but we’re just assuming that you have some kind of paint in your house. So just $1! You also don’t have to use this as a planter! You can keep makeup brushes, pens and pencils, or whatever in it!
DIY Halloween Bat Wreath
We missed posting for blogtober this weekend, but now we’re back!
It’s time for another Halloween DIY! This time we made a Halloween wreath that is shaped like a bat. This DIY is so simple, but looks really cute! Here are the instructions on how to make one for yourself!
DIY No-Carve Black Cat Pumpkin
Here’s another no-carve pumpkin we decorated, and the tutorial on how to make it for yourself! This time we made this super easy no-carve black cat pumpkin, and it turned out adorable!
Jack Skellington Ritz Cracker Cookies
These cookies are kind of a Christmas tradition for our family, but today we decided to Halloween-ify them! And Halloween + Christmas makes us think of The Nightmare Before Christmas, so that’s what we decorated the cookies like!
Here’s how to make the cookies. There are two versions that you can make!
You will need
Ritz crackers
Peanut butter
White almond bark
Decorating icing
OR if that doesn’t sound good to you, you can make the other version we came up with, which is just chocolate covered Oreos instead of chocolate covered peanut butter ritz sandwiches.
Step one
Make peanut butter sandwiches by putting peanut butter in between two ritz crackers (if you’re using Oreos, just take them out of the package.)
Step two
Put the almond bark into a microwave safe bowl, microwaving in 30 second increments and stirring until melted.
Step three
Dip the cookie sandwiches into the chocolate and place them on a flat surface covered with wax paper or parchment paper. Wait for them to cool and for the chocolate to harden.
Step four
When they’re ready, decorate them! We used this decorating icing from Walmart with some decorating tips that were also at Walmart.
Here are some pictures of how our cookies turned out! We made some ritz and some Oreos.
If you make any of these, don’t forget to tag us on Instagram or Twitter. We’d love to see them! And sorry if this post wasn’t the best… it’s our first recipe post!
October Bullet Journal
Today I’m sharing the set up that I did in my bullet journal this month! This is my favorite bullet journal layout I’ve done in months! It’s full of spooky doodles and other fun Halloween things!
DIY No-Carve Unicorn Pumpkin
One of the best Fall activities is decorating pumpkins!! But carving them is hard (and sometimes dangerous! 😯), and we have a lot of styrofoam pumpkins from the Dollar Tree to decorate. So we thought we’d share some tutorials for the no carve pumpkins we’ve decorated this year. First up, a unicorn pumpkin!
DIY Spiderflakes (from The Nightmares Before Christmas)
The Nightmare Before Christmas is our favorite Halloween/Christmas movie! We love to find decorations from the movie, but we haven’t been able to find that many. The solution? We’ll make our own! Recently we made the paper snowflakes like Jack Skellington made in the movie, and we thought we’d share the process with you guys!
