Recycle Décor - Transform leftover vinyl flooring into Creative Halloween Mats


Recycle Décor - Transform leftover vinyl or linoleum flooring into creative Halloween Mats

Autumn is always a great source of inspiration. Why not get a step-on-it and
create a colorful and inviting pumpkin mat which is sure to add warmth to your
entrance while welcoming your quests this fall.

Mixing mediums is the key to achieving this rustic look by combining bright
acrylic paint colors and using oil pastels smudged over the dried design for
innovative detailing on simple vinyl flooring.Its a great way to recycle and reuse leftovers from a recent reno project. If you can carve a face on a
pumpkin you can paint a pumpkin mat!

Theres something so creatively rewarding about creating something with things that you already have, and recycling them into new creations...

MIY Recycled Craft, for a Sophisticated Halloween Decor
Ghoulish Halloween Votives

“Ghoulish Glow!”
This Halloween brew up something gruesome....

Make it yourself ghoulish Halloween luminaries to add a ghastly glow to spooky
up Halloween night. These haunting Halloween decorations are a real scream
when hung from your spookiest tree or archway, or when placed on fences or
front porches. You can even use them on steps to illuminate an eerie path.
They are easy to make and the best part is that it’s a super way to recycle and
reuse old glass wear that you are no longer using.
