Ghost Garland Lights

Start saving your k-cups!! I saw this idea on Pinterest (along with tons of other cute things to make with used k-cups - I'm sure I'll be making more things with them in the future) and immediately started saving the cups every morning. (In case you don't know, K-cups are the coffee pod things that go inside a Keurig one cup coffee maker.) They are just little white plastic cups, with a filter attached inside holding coffee grounds - after you've made your coffee just peel of the foil top and remove the filter and grounds, then rinse and dry the cup. After you've saved up a few of them you'll be able to make this super cute ghost garland in time for Halloween.

So easy - I just drew faces on the cups using a fat sharpie marker. Cut a few little slits around the hole that gets poked into the bottom of the k-cup when you make your coffee and stick a mini light strand bulb inside - continue for as long as your light strand is, or however long you want it. I did every other light bulb and it looks great... how cute is this idea?

Spider Lantern

Saw this quick last minute Halloween decoration on Pinterest, and since I have all the supplies on hand I put it together very quickly - will be cute on the porch or in a window for trick or treaters.

All you need is a glass jar, spider web or cotton balls, battery powered mini string of lights or a small flameless candle, and a fake spider (or two).

I used a string of lights and spider web. Spread the spider web or cotton ball apart, wrap around the string of lights and place it in the jar so you can't see any of the bulbs or cord, add spider. If you are using a flameless candle that would be even easier - just put the web around the candle.

That's it!
