Aren't these the cutest little Jack-o-lantern's you've ever seen?
What a simple and cheap Fall/ Halloween decoration.
Book Pumpkins
1. First find an old book or pick one up from Goodwill for $.50. Then mark 2 lines on the side.
2. Make a mark in the center of the top too.
3. Start folding up the corners at right angles. I did 3 pages at a time then separated.
4. After separating ink the ends, and paperclip the "end" pages together to keep it "round".
5. Cut your jack-o-lantern face and tape on and decorate the top with leaves jute berries or whatever you have! Wah lah- a free/ cheap Halloween decoration!
You can also make a taller skinnier cylinder one by folding the pages right in half. You can also remove the face for fall decor. :) P.S my book was small, probably 4x6 and 200 pages.

And here's a few other cute easy Halloween ideas.
- A friend gave the the bottle of Candy corn and I thought it would just be cute as a decoration.
- I also love my calendar blocks and Scentsy wrap.
- Try painting some terra cotta pots for a cute candy dish and decoration. These pots are only about $.25 each.
- And what's a Holiday post without mantel decorations? Here's what I did this year.
- I made a makeshift wreath holder out of wire. I then sewed a straight line down the edge of a 3 x 24 inch piece of fabric for this festive wreath holder cover. "Sew" easy cheap and cute. My kinda craft.
What are you going to try? I would love to hear if you make anything- savvychichome@gmail
