It is time to get the kids in on the Halloween décor fun. Don’t worry. This not-so-spooky monster owl Halloween tree is super easy to make. You can get everything you need to make it at Oriental Trading and have it shipped right to your door. The owl ornaments come in easy, pre-packaged kits that make assembly a breeze for little hands. My 8 year old was able to make his with nearly no assistance from me. He also helped me assist his younger siblings in creating theirs. This project is fun for the whole family and looks great on the dining room table!

In case you haven’t noticed, we are in full Halloween mode over here. One of the best parts of Halloween is getting dressed up. I love dressing up in costumes for cosplay & Halloween! In fact, I love it so much that I sometimes sport multiple costumes over the course of the Halloween season. It’s just so much fun. We are currently moving right along with our Halloween costumes for this year. If you saw yesterday’s tutorial then you already know that today I am sharing how to make DIY mermaid Halloween costume accessories. These are so easy to make and since I had all of the paint and glue, 2 sets only cost $3.00! That’s a price tag frugal DIY mommas can get behind. Let’s get the fun started with the tutorial.
