Halloween Pumpkin Archway

There's nothing quite like those inexpensive pumpkins to scream Halloween! This Halloween Pumpkin Archway is the perfect way to welcome friends, family, and eventually trick-or-treaters! #pumpkins

 

  

This makes a huge statement for little monies. It will be fun to see the children walk through the archway. One could string lights to make it glow at night.

Let's make the archway.

First: Get the pumpkins which are around a dollar.

Drill a hole in the base of the pumpkin large enough to accommodate the largest section of PVC pipes. 

 

 

 

Working one side at a time, stack the pumpkin baskets on the pvc archway and enjoy! Click on the link below for more detailed instructions and to check out all my other Halloween projects!

Pumpkin Lanterns

I use the flat tops from jar candles for my candle holders so what to do the glass jar?

Aren't they cute? I spray painted the inside orange (of course). Then I found faces.

Starbucks Candles Strike again.

I am not sure if you remember the first post for

Melted Witch Fruit Dip Recipe

I love Halloween. It is the beginning of Decorating Season!! Unfortunately I broke my foot and can't make it up and down stairs with boxes so... Halloween decor might be contained to a few pumpkins and ghouls!

But I am making this dip.

I found it on I wash and you dry blog.

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 drops green food coloring (more if desired)
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• Oreo cookie and Hershey's Kiss for decoration
• Fruit/Graham Crackers/Pretzels for dipping

Instructions

1. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy (no longer clumpy), then slowly add the sweetened condensed milk. Beat until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mix until blended.
2. Drop in 5-6 drops of green food coloring and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
3. Pour into serving dish. If desired, drop a couple dots of green food coloring on top and use a toothpick to swirl around to give it that "melted witch" look.
4. Place half of an Oreo cookie on top, then top that with the Hershey's Kiss so it looks like a witches hat. Serve with fruit slices, graham crackers and/or pretzels. Store in an air tight container in the fridge. Enjoy!

Are you ready for the holidays starting with lights.

Bliss lights are a projector style lighting system that isn't cheap but sometimes you can catch them on QVC for less and a bargain. One can purchase them at Home Depot.

Yellow, red, green, purple, blue--Why choose? With the BlissLights Garden Accent Light you can choose between 16-colors letting you express whatever mood you're in. Live life in color!
