​This holly fabric has been waiting in my stash for just the right table runner pattern. I came across the easiest method for making one in a tutorial from Alanda Craft. I ​followed the “10 Minute Table Runner” tutorial details and added my own flair.

​The plaid fabric is flannel. The holly is embroidered woven/cotten fabric I found as a remnant. Both are from Joann. The lace came on my witch hat. I used a scrap of fabric to create the bat appliqués and did the same for the holly I added to the bats. 

​The latest prop we made for our outdoor Halloween decor is this burn pit. It has red solar twinkle lights to give it that smoldering look at night. Painting the bones took the most time to do. After that it all went together pretty easily.

​Cut cardboard to fit your object/stand.
Seal cardboard w/Gorilla Waterproofing.

Spray canned foam all over cardboard.
Add lights to wet foam & let harden.
Spray more foam - add bones & sticks.
When hardened, spray paint red splotches.
Spray paint the rest black.
