Halloween Vignette {Halloween Decorating}

With Halloween right around the corner I got busy setting up my Halloween vignette this past weekend. I’m not big on gory Halloween decor. I like pretty, glittery, and feathery Halloween decor. Dramatic, not disgusting. This vignette is very Cher/Bob Mackie-esque if you ask me. Glitz and feathers. Ha-cha-cha!

If you’ve been around a while, you know that I did a purple and black themed Halloween vignette last year. Well, I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the dough to change my holiday decor every year. So this year I stuck with the purple and black theme, but added some different items to jazz it up a bit.

Many of the items I added this year are from the Target dollar spot. Love me some Target dollar spot. The bats, tall pumpkin, and owl were all dollar spot scores.
I created the feather-ific lamp shade by wrapping two black boas around a lampshade I already had. Isn’t it bangin’? Brad even likes it. Winning.


I’ve had the black spiders for a few years now. The battery-operated tea lights are new. They were originally orange, but I fixed that with a little acrylic paint.

I made the glittery BOO sign, and later this week I’ll show you how I made it. Get. Excited.



When I spotted the bats at Target I knew had to get them and somehow use them in the vignette. I orginally planned on hanging them from the ceiling with fishing line, but I decided that I didn’t want to have to deal with rigging them I’d hang them on the mirror with zip ties instead.





You want to see what it looks like at night with the black light glowing, don’t you?



Super spooky, right?

    I can’t believe you used the same items as last year. Tacky….

    I wanted to just leave that but then people would think I was some internet troll. Sad, this world that we live in. I really like the purple vs. orange for Halloween. You could make this big.

    That is so cute! I love your BOO letters…I just made some the other day too. But, I love how sparkly yours are, and that lamp shade rocks! The target dollar spot is addicting to me. I feel like stores in my area all have a lot of different items too. 🙂 I love your owl too. Megan

    Ha! I bought those bats too. But just two of them. I’m trying to find something green to add to my mantle before I can have the grand reveal.
