Welcome back to another installment of EEK WEEKS! I cannot believe this is number six, and we only have two more fall/Halloween projects to go.
This week’s project was inspired by a pillow I bought a few years ago that says, “If the broom fits, ride it.” I was feeling a little witchy and needed some fun color to go with my stylish Halloween boxes, so I decided a witch’s broom would be the perfect addition to my Halloween decor.
I started with a broom I found at Michael’s and added glittered lime green and purple branches, leaves, and rhinestones to the straw end of the broom. I wrapped stripy ribbon around the handle and hot glued a bow with some dangly witchy accouterments (eyes, skeleton hand, and tombstones) to the middle of the broom.
I hung the broom parallel to the staircase and accessorized with all things witchy including Halloween boxes, a black cat, a hand-drawn spider web, and a creepy little, old witch.
I was inspired by Jessica over at Craftily Ever After to create my own Halloween version of “Keep Calm and Carry On,” so I made “If the broom fits, ride it.” It’s the perfect finishing touch to this vignette.
I think this turned out so cute! I was kind of stuck in a Halloween decorating rut, and having this blog and doing EEK WEEKS has really forced me to think outside the box. I heart blogland! 🙂
