I hope you are all having a fabulous Halloween season too! Hopefully I can get them done before Halloween! So much to do, so little time! I’ve still got to post about pumpkin seeds, and my fourth and final pumpkin of the year! Oh, and I can’t forget about sharing my pumpkin-puree tips! I’m working on some rats, cats and bats to put in my other front windows, I will share those soon.
PRINTABLE WITCH ON A BROOM SILHOUETTE HOW TO
How to use pumpkin guts to make a delicious stock! Well, clearly I love me some Halloween and if you want to see more Busted Button Halloweeny-ness, Check out my October posts so far:īutton BOO! Pumpkin (with a fun surprise) What a perfect solution to my naked cooking privacy issue! There’s my witch! I love her so much! I’m already thinking about all the different silhouettes I can put up in that window depending on the season/ holiday! It is so festive, but simple, and not tacky (in my opinion, which borders on tacky most of the time.) Now, to wait for nightfall to snap the perfect picture! K fine, whatever, I can find a better broom anyways. “Get your paws off my broom, Ma, I’ve got things to do, girl.” Link! Stop playing with the broom! WAITTTTT!!!!!! THAT’S IT!!!! “Dad there’s a witch in the window! And what is that silhouette next to her?” Hehehe.Īfter my dramatic rescue, I stared at this gal for a long while, and figured she needed something more… So I had to wait til these things got home: I guess it’s easier to climb up than it is to get down… and since I’m preggo, I didn’t want to get too risky… although I had no problem getting up… heh. I think people used to use this stuff a lot more than they do now! It gave me memories LOL!īefore I stuck the paper to the window, I made sure there was no condensation or anything that would get in the way of a good affix-ing.Īnd there she was- standing pretty in her place of honor! If I had the supplies, I think I would have used a really sticky masking tape to hang the witch, but all I had was a bit of red hockey tape and some sticky tack, which I’ve had kicking around for over a decade… So up I went! Note the tag on my inside-out sweater. It was so high… but the banisters were pretty stable…
How was I going to get up to that window when the hubby wasn’t around to help me? I suppose I could have waited an hour… but I hate waiting… and I wanted the witch to greet everyone when they got home. …but I just shook what my mama gave me and drew that baby free-hand.
You can do what the instructions tell you on the link to the template, or you can use the grid system, which is explained here, and works great… So now you need to transfer the image from the graph onto your huge piece of paper. I chose the witch, but before I could enlarge her, I needed some help to hold down the corners of my paper! But where was I gonna find 4 single guys to do my bidding on a busy weekend morning? She also gives away these templates on her website here. In her Halloween Handbook, I found some awesome templates. She is the master of creating anything, and she is obsessed with Halloween, so I knew she could help me! Now I needed some inspiration for my decoration! To make a silhouette that large, I just used some tar paper, which you can find at any hardware store for relatively cheap. So, I was pretty excited that this decoration I decided to do solves both of these problems! I figured this window would be the perfect place to display a big, creepy, Halloweeny silhouette. It’s a great window- it looks pretty and lets a lot of light in, but there are a two problems with it:ġ: It is really hard to come up with a way to decorate it for holidays (and I love my holiday decorating!)Ģ: It gives a plain view into my kitchen, where I reside for most of the day, and I like to not wear clothes my privacy. It even has a huge cill, which is reminiscent of a window seat- it would make such a great reading nook- except for the fact that it is inaccessible… well my hubby managed to display some of his Lego collection up there but it isn’t the most inviting location, considering that it is 8 feet off the ground.
So- I have a massive window above my stairwell on the front of my house- I’m talking huuuuge:
