halloween garland…

Earlier this month, during one of the sessions of General Conference, the boys and I colored these cute little printed wooden pieces Zach picked out at Michael’s.

You’ve seen them, haven’t you?

I’ve bought them before, but I never know what to do with them once they’ve been colored.

Well, this year I was determined to do something with them…

and this is what I came up with …

I bought some really cute fabric from the quilt shop. 

The line is called Halloween Night, it’s from Moda, and I love it…

I’m going to do something fun with my leftovers…just not sure what yet.

Then I ripped it up and tied it onto a long piece of jute.

When it was finally long enough (this took quite a while), I tied on our little colored decorations.

I think the kids were excited to see all of their artwork combined with something I made…

and they get to see it every day, because it’s hanging right above our tv!
