Halloween Tree 2014

I had a blast setting up the 6' tree this year! Love it and will continue decorating a big Halloween Tree. Here it is from back when I first set it up and the lighting was better for pics, my livingroom is dark and I have added to the tree since then. The colored C7 bulbs are blinkers so some times I catch them, sometimes I don't... Warning: picture overload-Proceed with caution:@)

Some folks have said they'd like to have a Halloween tree but don't know where to get ornaments. The easiest way to start gathering them is while Christmas ornaments are out, just imagine what would work for Halloween. The solid black balls, owls and blue stars are all from clearance last year.

I love the costume award buttons, they are a great size and the ribbon detail is cool. 

Was hoping Walmart would have more this year, but no-bummer.

An inexpensive pack of plastic treat pumpkins goes a long way in helping to fill out a tree.

I tucked larger wooden cut-outs and scarecrow picks deeper inside the branches. 

The orange cat cookie cutter in the pic below is a great example of filler... I grabbed a pack of 6 plastic Halloween cookie cutters at Big Lots on clearance for 25¢ last November. They may eventually get make-overs, but I enjoyed them as is this year.

The black bat above (some are orange, there are 6) is a spinner the boys gave me, 

the heat from the bulbs makes the fins in the middle turn.

I simply added orange bead dots from Michaels to a couple plain black balls, love the way they look!

The caution tape did turn out to be a fun, colorful garland for the tree.

The fiber optic witch tree topper that I shared earlier HERE.

So that's my tree this year folks-
You don't have to decorate a big one, I used a 28" feather tree for years, I just... um, outgrew it.

I hope you're having a fun Halloween too:@)
