Great Find - Bamboo Glass Top Table

 So, why pay full price for anything when you don't have to?? 
Well, unless you like paying more, here is just one of my great Craigslist finds! Some times it's a thrift store find or garage sale, you name it.

Results....this like new beautiful thing!!

 Below is how this table came to me. No glass and cushions ripped and stained. I paid $30. Everything else though was in great shape and sturdy!

 This glass table above was $15, which is what I used for the bamboo table.  The glass is think and beautiful.

 I recovered the cushions in this beautiful cream material I had for drapes that I had never used. I think it cost me like $2.00!.  I used a 25"x25" piece for each chair.

 I cut off all the excess material and I made sure ALL PLEADS WERE FACING IN THE SAME DIRECTION for more a more smooth look.

The chairs look fantastic in person and recovering them couldn't have been easier and more fun!

Okay, now I'm just going to stare at it a little longer and enjoy the fruits of my labor, because saving money never gets old to me!!!

Last Minute DIY Hallowen Decor

This is EASY & TEMPORARY!!  I am not into all the big ugly "scary" Halloween decorating.  I like just a few tasteful accent pieces that show you're celebrating!  I also hate spending a lot of money on something that is usually so easily made out of pretty much anything around the house!

Here is I wanted to have a pillow with something Halloween but I didn't want to have it permanently attached to the pillow because I would then have to put it away or change the pillow case.

WHAT I DID.....

1. I went online and found a TEMPLATE (on the Images Google tab) of something I liked and printed it out, then cut the shape out.  I found this one HERE under "witch templates".

TIP:  If you do not have a printer, or ink as it happens to me often, you could just tape the paper to your screen and trace the shape right on your screen!  I do that also when the shape is bigger than my paper, so I move the paper around and trace some parts on difference spaces of the paper and then tape the shape later when I cut it.

2. I then spray painted the shape with black paint I have (I always have black, brown, and white spray paint on hand for projects) from my my local Home Depot...they're about $3.50.

 3. Once dried I sprayed the back with spray adhesive and placed on my pillow! The adhesive I used is tacky enough to stay on but you can then just remove it and trash it!

MORE IDEAS:  If you're a crafter like I am, you most likely have a ton of things you can use to make easy and inexpensive, but creative, decorations for any holiday. You can also just spray things (glass jars/bottles/vases, cans, branches, twigs, rocks, ect) in the colors of your holiday or theme!
