Scribbit is hosting a Winter Bazaar for which she asks for posts related to a monthly theme. This month it's Halloween. Just yesterday afternoon, I came up with this outdoor decoration. It's not rocket science, but here it is:
- the planter, previously filled with summer annuals, is filled with soil
- a couple of bamboo stakes are in the center for support
- 6 corn stalks are tied around the stakes with twine and stuck into the soil. The twine is hidden by corn leaves
- a tree branch is also pushed into the soil
- garlands of leaves are twisted around the stalks
- the ghosts: small styrofoam balls are covered with plastic kitchen bag (cut into 4 squares) held by twist ties
- a garden glove stuffed with grocery bags is stuck into the soil by a bamboo stake (Dead gardener just couldn't let go!)
- finally, gourds and pine cones finish it all off!

I love this! How pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! I love it!! I'm so uncreative when it comes to decorating!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! But sadly, I am not crafty and fear that if I attempted this it would look more like the crows had picked apart the scarecrow. I just enjoy others' decorations!
ReplyDeleteThat looks AWESOME! I love decorating this time of year.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know I changed the mess about the leaving the links in the comments and installed a Mr. Linky instead. I went ahead and added your post's permalink to the list. Just FYI.
