02.06 A Few DIY Deco Projects By:

DIY deco: cheap + abundant (02.06 - OCTOBER 2011)

Historically, when it comes to decorating, I've needed to cover large spaces on a very small budget. This completely rules out a deco scheme based on pre-packaged, Oriental Trading Company or Party City decorations.

But alas, it is no matter! You can actually make a bigger visual impact by creating them yourself without more than a trip to the local dollar store.

Here are a few projects I created with just that. Many of the supplies I had just lying around the house. As for the other items, I just couldn't resist spending a whopping $5.00 at my nearby Dollar Tree.

	1) SKELETON GARLAND
	Things you'll need: • Something Long and Strong (ahem) like ribbon or paper strips. You'll need as much length as you want your garland to measure. Yarn isn't ideal. Kraft paper (like what paper shopping bags used to be made of) is a good weight. • A sheet of Tissue Paper or Newsprint for each skull you will have on your garland. • A white plastic table cover or shower curtain • Black Electrical Tape, Scotch Tape • Black Permanent Marker • Scissors
	Where to Start: 1. Prepare your ribbon or paper by making it the length you want it. I used 12 feet of cheap ribbon. If I were doing this for real (to decorate the whole house, or a very large room), I'd make three or four 8-12 foot pieces. 2. Fold the edge—about 14"—of your white plastic piece over itself (shown at left). 3. Draw the skull shapes onto the plastic, with the chin of the skull on the fold. Be sure you cut out one row, then trim the excess and fold again before cutting the next row. 4. Use two tape donuts, or two pieces of double sided adhesive to affix the skull to the ribbon just about 12 inches from the end. Repeat with all remaining skulls, spacing them at the distance you like—18-24inches, depending on how big your skulls are (shown below, on the left).
5. Use scotch tape to seal the skulls on the sides of the mouth. 6. Fold a piece of tissue or newsprint and stuff it into each head. 7. Tape each head together with a piece of electrical tape. I did it with a several long skinny pieces on the outer edge of the skull for a "stitchy" look. 8. Draw eye sockets, nose and teeth on the front and back of each skull. 9. Hang and allow the ogling to commence!	Below: Some shaky iPhone 3GS pics of my skeleton garland up close. On the left, you can see where I started attaching the skull plastic onto the ribbon with little tape donuts. On the right is one of the final skulls. They're not too scary, but I'm not concerned.

	2) CANDY WREATH
	The candy wreath is a great project for October, either before trick-or-treat season or after. (For obvious reasons, right?) You can adapt it for Christmas or Easter. Additionally, you can substitue the candy with pretty much anything… which makes this an extremely versatile project for any season! The size of the finished wreath here is about 14". In all, I spent $2.00 to make this happen. Things you'll need: • A foam or straw base, or anything that will hold pins, as large as you want • Enough wrapped candy to cover your wreath • Electrical tape • Straight pins (at least one per piece of candy)
	Above: Dollar store hard candies made mostly of poisonous sugar-like chemicals were the inspiration for this candy wreath. I like how the candies look like leaves. And when the sun shines through the front door, where I hung my wreath, the transparent candies shine like stained glass or jewels.
	Where to Start: 1. Cover your wreath in tape. Alternately, you can use ribbon or plastic wrap for convenience, if necessary. 2. Separate all your candies by color or type. 3. Evenly space your first group of candies around the wreath. Pin them in place, using one straight pin per candy.
Tips for placing candies: - Keep gravity in mind. It is a good idea to hold the wreath up before pinning too many new pieces on to see how the candies will lay. - Stick the pin in at a downward angle so it doesn't just fall out of the base. - Symmetry will create a nice visual harmony and balance the weight nicely.
4. Pin all the remaining groups of candies to the wreath, filling all the holes. If you have pins left over, feel free to use them to secure any loose pieces of candy, and that's it. Hang it up.
3) BLOODY WALLS
Above: I absolutely did smear red paint all over this Bob Rossian style painting using a few simple Photoshop tools! ;)	Crap! I wish I still had a photo of the project which resulted from this big/cheap/excellent deco idea. It all started with a little white barn. Its doorway was quite large, but the sides were about 7 feet high by 15 feet long. On each of these walls was where I hung three white (dollar store) shower curtains along the top edge, then taped them together side by side. With a ladder, I stood at the top of the curtain with a recycled beer bottle filled with red paint. I gently and intentionally dumped the paint the along the top edge of the curtain as far as I could reach, letting the red paint naturally and "randomly" drip down the walls. I poured only enough so that it would stop dripping around 3/4 down the curtain or less. I kept moving the ladder, thendripped the paint down the white curtain for the length of the barn wall. To finish the job, I painted a solid red line across the top edge of the curtain, and filled in any areas that needed more body. The result was a barn that looked like it was overflowing with blood. (CREEEEEPY!!!!!) All it took was $6.00 worth of shower curtains and some red paint I had lying around. You could see it from all over the property, so it made a huge difference! And it is totally reusable!
