Halloween Throwback: Decor

Last year when Prudent Baby was just a wee lad we did a bunch of cool DIYs for Halloween. Since we had like 11 readers back then it's quite possible that you missed them. And that's just a shame! So here is a little round-up of some of our favorites projects in the Halloween decor category.
Baby Food Jar Fabric Wrapped Tealights {pictured above}

Cameo Plaque

Spooky Yarn Bowl

Embroidered Doorbell Cover

Bat-Mobile

Halloween Specimen Jar
Stay tuned for the edible version of this post this afternoon! And don't forget, any comment you leave this week could win you a little stash of pretty ribbon and trim. Mmmmmm ribbon and trim. Do you decorate for Halloween? My husband sucked all the fun out of it this year by telling me I couldn't hide the giant hairy spiders for him to find when he least expects it. Should I respect his request? Bah ha ha!
