Beautifully Bewitching Pillows & Ornaments

I was spellbound by these beautiful vintage images of women. So I transformed them into perfectly bewitching pillows and ornaments.

I shared these last Fall, back when I was a baby blogger and had less than 25 followers. I'm celebrating surpassing the 500 follower milestone with a look back at some of my early projects.

Don't you just love that velvety black witch's hat? With the flowers and lace she's both beguiling and slightly sinister.

Star of Wonder Burlap Bags

Pin It

Rustic, simple, sweet, and festive in burlap, glitter, buttons and bows, these little gift bags could also double as ornaments for the holiday.

Halloween Tree Reveal!

The ornaments are made. Raffia 'icicles' are draped. How will it look when it all comes together? Drumroll, please....












Ta-da!

We have {fake} pine trees year around in our lodge-inspired home, so I need a simple way to dress them up for the various holidays. 

What do you think about how it turned out? 

You know what I'm going to appreciate the most? Those burlap scary movie ornaments are reversible!  Simply flip them over in November to reveal images celebrating Thanksgiving. 

Of course these beautiful, sparkly little gourds and the raffia will carry through both Fall holidays as well. Makes it easy on the decorator during a holiday-packed season. 

Ode to Scary Books & Movies

Cultivate your appetite for old scary movies and books with these awesome burlap halloween ornaments that pay homage to the likes of Vincent Price and Beverly Garland. Each one deserves a spotlight of its own. Let's roll the tape!

Some fake fall bushes had just the right kind of 'flower' that worked with The Forgotten Planet. Remember the glow-in-the-dark stars from the Raven Lantern post? A few found their way onto this ornament as well.

And the washers that held those round wooden balls that I painted for that post found their way into The Robot & The Man ornament.

Strategic placement of the top two buttons echo the eye of our star, Beverly Garland, in Not of This Earth! Yikes!  By the way, I discovered these fabulous movie posters at the blog "Found in Mom's Basement." It's listed as a free art resource for vintage ads on my sidebar. The book jackets are also from there.  

I laughed upon seeing the Invasion of the Saucer-Men poster --it looks like someone else didn't like their brussel sprouts growing up, either!

And of course, I had to make one of the House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price!  After having created all these decorations, I now can't wait to see those kitchy old movies.  


But before we pop that popcorn, let's take a look at how to make burlap movie poster halloween ornaments:
