Halloween

Guest Post:: Uncommon Designs {Felt Owl Vases}

I’m currently on vacation and have asked a few of my fellow bloggers if they would like to guest post for me in my absence.

Today I have the lovely ladies from Uncommon Designs with a fun craft to get us into the mood for the spooky holiday right around the corner, aka Halloween!

Hi Megan Brooke Handmade readers! We are Bonnie and Trish and we blog over at Uncommon Designs. We are thrilled to be here! Megan is a sweetheart, we first met her at Haven this summer and hit it off right away!

She is a fellow Clemson grad { go Tigers! } and shares our love of all things DIY and crafty. She was even sweet enough to host our family this summer on a little tour of her workplace….my kiddos are HUGE contemporary christian music fans!!

On to the crafts….

Trish and I absolutely love Halloween and today we have a simple and quick tutorial for you…

Felt Owl Vases…

Aren’t these the cutest! Here is what you will need…

3 Glass Vases in Different Sizes

Craft Moss

Felt Owl Stickers { or any other Halloween scene stickers }

3 Cream Flameless Candles

Now, the felt owl stickers came from the Halloween seasonal craft section of Hobby Lobby. They are precious! You could use other Halloween scene stickers that you can find in the scrapbooking section of a craft or scrapbooking store, the possibilities are endless!

First, apply the largest sticker to the medium sized glass vase. We are going to recreate the scene on the sticker package. The three vases will work together almost like a puzzle!

Next, apply the little bat stickers to the other two vases to mimic them flying away. See how all 3 of the vases work together to create a sweet little scene!?!

Add some craft moss to the bottom of each vase. Gently place a cream flameless candle on top of the moss. I used one tall candle and two smaller ones. The moss helps ‘ground” your little scene you are creating!

Finally, simply add some moss around the vases to help “nestle” them into their environment!

I just love how these turned out! Are you ready for Halloween yet? We hope that this has inspired you to get out those decorations!

A huge “THANK YOU!” to Megan for having us today! We would love for you to visit us over at Uncommon! You can also find us on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook.
