Friday Favorites Linky Party - Week 342
I have a round rod I want to paint black and use to organize painter and duct tape in my garage workshop because paint is the great visual equalizer of mismatched things.
I'm too impatient to paint and flip the dowel rod for the multiple paint sessions spray painting a round object will take. I don't have a tree branch I can hang the rod from so I rigged up a 360 degree spray paint booth from two tomato cages and tying an old spindle to them with twine.
I showed my quick paint project hack, now show me yours!

12 Amazing Ghost Decorating Ideas for Halloween
I like to make our Halloween decorations spooky cute instead of scary gory because we have a bunch of little kids in our neighborhood. The last thing we want is to scare the Trick or Treaters so much that they are afraid to come to our door on Begger’s Night. Giving out candy and going gaga over the kid’s costumes (house rule) is one of Husband’s favorite things about Halloween.
The other thing Husband likes is decorating with Halloween decorations that move. I’m all about Halloween lights and décor that lights up.
We like to poke our heads in home décor and pop up Halloween stores this time of year to do some hard core Halloween trend and décor idea shopping.
It looks like ghost decorations are popular this year because everywhere we look we’re surrounded by ghosts. Boooooooooo!

Fall Wreath Alternative: DIY Birch Sunflower Basket
After I decorated the backyard patio for Fall, I figure I better turn my attention to the front of the house. My plan is to transition the front porch from summer decorations to a Fall outdoor décor theme that I can transition to Halloween if time permits (life happens!) and back to Fall for Thanksgiving (wishful thinking because of that time thing, ya know) until it is time to pack it all up and decorate for Christmas.
Instead of decorating with something like the DIY Fall wreath I made for the back patio, I decorate with a half wall birch basket.

How to Make a Reusable Light Up Teal Pumpkin for Halloween
Handing out Halloween candy and ooh-ing and ah-ing over every costumed person who comes to our door is one of things Husband enjoys most on Beggar's Night.
That and testing our Halloween candy for Quality Assurance while waiting for the Trick or Treaters to come to our porch. That was one of my favorite parts of Halloween until I because a card carrying member of the Food Allergy Club. Sad face.
It is a bummer to find almost everything in the candy aisle at the store is something I shouldn’t eat but has to worse for a kid on Halloween. The minute I found out about the Halloween Teal Pumpkin Project I added allergy free treats for the food allergy kids to what we give out on Halloween.
The only thing missing is a teal pumpkin to let food allergy kids and their parents that we have their back this Halloween.

How to Make a Quick and Easy Wine Cork and Mason Jar Centerpiece
After I decorated my outdoor patio for Fall, I took a step back and realized something was missing from my DIY chalkboard patio table and DIY bottle cap mosaic chairs.
I need an Autumn table centerpiece!
My Fall centerpiece idea was heavily influenced by the growing number of empty mason jars drying in the dish rack (not to mention Husband’s do something with these will ya? look when he empties the dishwasher) and the wine corks in our kitchen wine cork basket waiting for a craft project (and more Husband’s do something with these will ya? look when he sees them taking up counter space.)

How to Make a DIY Fall Flower Wreath
I used to design a door wreath by buying all of the cute flower picks I like and then figuring out what to do with them after I got home. That almost always lead to me making something I wasn't happy with because it often looked like a Hodge Podge of unsymmetrical stuff that didn’t always coordinate in color, size or texture.
Because I bought a Hodge Podge of unsymmetrical stuff that didn’t always coordinate in color, size or texture for the project and didn't think about them beyond, "How pretty! I'm buying it!"
I knew I had to change my ways after reorganized my craft room and finding more wreath making supplies than my small house can hold.
