On Pinterest last year, I saw a pumpkin with holes carved in it and rubber rats placed in the holes.
Mouse Motel
I loved the creepiness of it, so wanted to do my own version of it. Cheap is good - off to Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart I went! I found a package of 3 mice, a carve-able pumpkin and some creepy cloth.
I used an apple corer to punch holes in the pumpkin, draped the creepy cloth over the table, set the pumpkin on a stand and arranged the mice in the holes.
Eek! |
Next, I took my Bones, Sticks, and Stones and ghost candle holders from PartyLite and placed them around the pumpkin. Cute!
Bones, Sticks the dog, and ghost candle holders |
Stones the cat and another Ghost |
I had a clock that never really kept time - it was always slow - so I placed it on the table (after setting the time for Midnight) and draped it with some fake spiderweb.
Stuck at Midnight |
I think it's a cute, scary Halloween-scape. The candles give it just the right touch of eerie glow.
What have you decorated for Halloween?
Smiles,
Very creepy scary stuff... ewwwwwwwww! Happy Halloween! :)
ReplyDeletelol, I know right? My 25 yr old son was impressed I'd put mice in a pumpkin. :)
DeleteWhat a cute Halloween vignette...I do not decorate much for Halloween...always busy with the "fall decor" ....even though the mice are a bit creepy...I love the way you placed them on the pumpkin!!...
ReplyDeleteHaha, Shirley - yeah, the mice are a little creepy. Fortunately they are small! Thanks!
