Pink Saturday goes orange and black this week! Beverly allows Halloween themed posts this Saturday. That's the perfect chance for me to show you my little Halloween tree. It's a vintage Christmas tree that my mom bought as a young woman. I also used it many times as Christmas tree, but over the years, it become more and more shabby -- just perfect to turn it into a Halloween tree. So here's the original green Christmas tree...
... and the same tree again after a heavy dose of black spray paint.
Doesn't it look glorious now with the chain of pumpkin lights?
I just love my little Halloween tree which stands on a coffee table in one corner of my living room.
Here's Mr. Raven whom Marie from The Play of Light and Shadow sent my way last year.
I like the friendly faces of the pumpkins.
The skeleton hands were a gift from Marie, too -- such a great accent on the Halloween tree!
Maybe those pictures inspire you to make your own Halloween tree next year. It's such fun! By the way, tomorrow I will post more photos of my Halloween decorations.
Happy Pink Saturday --
or rather Happy Orange and Black Saturday!

ReplyDeleteI think I may have to paint one of mine-great idea!
ReplyDeleteLoved your Pink Halloween Saturday post. Everything was so cute especially the tutorial on the pumpkin tree.
ReplyDeleteLove your tree Birgit! Such a creative way to reuse an old item rather than just through it away. Happy Halloween!! : )
