Spooky Craft Closet w/HoneyCanDo

The white and gold bins on the top shelf are from  HoneyCanDo + I'm so happy with the quality of them as they really hold  up with all our paints, paint brushed, spray paint, ribbon and craft supplies inside and the smooth gold + brass handles have made it so much easier to slide the bins in and out of the closet. An upgrade long over due!

You can see more details on this closet over in Instagram under story highlights, "craft closet" and everything else is resourced below.


Warmly, Steph

Pink Pumpkin Bucket (and or whatever color you wish!) was inspired by Abby's  Halloween basket I spray painted last year found  here, as I thought this would be fun for you and your littles ones to place something fun inside (or BOO your neighbors?!) Quick video demo on YouTube can be found  here.

Supplies:

Supplies:
Pink paint (can't find online - called "Touch of Pink" by Craft Smart)

Making The Wings:
For the girls wings, I placed an entire 9x12 felt piece (regular felt size) on each girls shoulders and measured down to their elbow to cut the piece into a rectangle. Then I folded that rectangle piece in half to make yet again, another smaller rectangle and cut a half circle on one corner, thus making a wing shape!

 Dear Abby!

When we visit the pumpkin patch next weekend, here's a  "BOO" pink hair clip to coordinate with your sister's "EKK!" 

For Preschool, a special  polkadot bow to wear as I think you'll agree, it goes perfect with your new face mask.

At home, I thought this very special  "Big BOO" flag which mommy and her amazingly talented friend worked on together to make it spooky yet cute to decorate anywhere in your room! You can also decorate your sisters room with the coordinating "Little BOO" flag as I know how much you love to help me decorate for the holidays. Plus Emma would appreciate the help.

For all the monster mash family dance parities to be held downstairs while cleaning up as a family after dinner, here's a new twirling kitty dress to help make sone new amazing dance moves!!

And lastly, a star light up star wand to help light your way on Halloween night as you lead me, daddy + Emma through our neighborhood for trick or treating!

I love you so much Abby! +.I can't wait to create all these magical memories with you all month long!
