Fall is underway, and quite honestly Halloween is sneaking up on me too quickly this year! While I'm planning a lower key holiday this year, I'm finding myself short on time for any major projects and events. Anyone else with me?!! If you just don't have the time, or maybe you are one of those super-together people with large events planned and just need a few more finishing touches (kudos to you), I'm pulling together my favorite vintage DIY halloween projects. This post is a combo of projects we've done here at Out 2 Lunch, as well as some other fun projects I've found on pinterest and want to try! Take a Peek! Get Inspired!

Fabric Pumpkins!! These pumpkins were a project Stacy and I did last year. We had so much fun making them. And we both constantly get comments on them displayed in our homes, as well as decor at arts shows we attend. Using vintage fabric, you can tailor them to any decor scheme you have!! Got some scraps laying around?
Poe Inspired Raven Wreath!! Searching pinterest, I found this Nevermore Fall Raven Wreath Tutorial from 4onemore.com. As both a reader/book lover and having lived many years in Baltimore during part of my life, I Love THE RAVEN at Halloween! Naturally, I had to make this one! Follow the link above to the original post, and create your own adaptation like I did, (pictured left).
Vintage Glass Shade Ghost Lights!! I have not made these yet, but I really, really want to! This idea from sadieseasongoods.com from a couple years ago, is adorable! I can already see these guys lined up along my porch railing. And of course, anything using vintage materials is a plus in my book!
Vintage Light Fixture Halloween Moon!! Talk about a fabulous party centerpiece, or decor placed in a window! Here's another one from sadieseasongoods.com, this time using a round, globe, vintage light fixture. Such a mood-setter!
DIY Vintage Swizzle Sticks!! Serving drinks over Halloween? Here's a perfect Halloween color-combo of our vintage swizzle stick blog post from this past September! Talk about a fun way to add gothic-glam sparkle to your party drinks, or a just-for-fun mood setter for drinks post trick-or-treating!
And last, but not least, if you're looking for some cute edible ideas? Stacy pulled together this post of fun Halloween Foods last year. Check it out for some quick, simple, fun inspirations!! Kid Tested!Happy Fall, Safe Trick-or-Treating for all, and as always,
Cheers!
