Spooky Season with Sunnydaze Decor

Do you decorate for Halloween every year? I usually don't dress up or celebrate Halloween, but I do love decorating my home with cute pieces! It's fun to add amazing decor pieces to my Halloween decorations over the years. I try to add at least one new Halloween decoration each year, but I don't like to spend a lot of money on Halloween. This year, I found the perfect addition to my Halloween collection from Sunnydaze Decor . It was so affordable too. If you want to know what I added, KEEP READING!, but in the meantime, here's a picture from last year with some pumpkins that my sister gave me for my birthday. It was a great birthday present because she knows how much I love pumpkins! Here is last year's Halloween decor. I loved using these $2 witch hats (bargain!) on my porch and hung them up with fishing line. Are you ready to find out what I found this year?

Wrapping Around the Christmas Tree: DIY Ideas


8 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! But who says you have to wait any longer?

 If you're like us, you've already pulled out the bins and boxes, and mayyyybe you've even put up a tree! 

 Sue has put up some trees already and has helped her daughter in Arizona decorate too! Teri likes to wait to decorate closer to Thanksgiving. 

 We love ALL holiday decorators, whether you start on November 1 or wait until the end of the month! 

 We also have some great WRAPPING ideas on the blog today! 



I know what you're thinking . . . why can't I just get some cute wrapping paper and call it a day?

 You can! But, there are SO many creative ways to add a more personal touch to your presents. And they look so great under the tree! Read on to see how we elevated our wrapping game this year.

 Here are the stores we hit up for great wrapping paper and present supplies: Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Michael's! 


WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • Wrapping paper—we went with neutrals like black, white, and brown paper. We also threw in some fun patterned paper. Whatever your preference, you can't go wrong!
  • Tape + Scissors
  • Ribbon or string—we found an assortment of patterned ribbon, plain ribbon, string, twine, and more! 
  • Present accessories—this is where YOU can get CREATIVE! We used peppermint sticks, wood ornaments, faux branches, pom pom garlands, wool garlands, and more! 

Don't Be Afraid of Color!
We used stripes, polka dots, blues, reds, and fun colors when wrapping. We love bright packaging and eye-popping colors!


Black is the New Black
Try a monochrome theme, like black-on-black or white ribbon with white wrapping paper. It's such a cool, modern look! We found inspiration on Pinterest and recreated some photos with darker wrapping paper. 

Add On Accessories! 
Think outside the box! Your present could use an ornament, sprig of leaves, or even candy to make it cuter. We saw so many accessory ideas online, like hand-drawn paper, stamps, paint swatch tags, and more! 


Pom Poms + Peppermints 
Homemade pompom garlands and giant peppermint sticks add another fun layer to our gift wrapping! 


 
Don't forget to personalize with name tags!
