Mouse silhouettes I saw in a Houzz feature sent me to Michaels for Halloween cutouts. I bought one pack of mice and one of spiders from the Martha Stewart range, priced at $4.99 a pack when I made these displays.
Paper mice around the room
The boys noticed the mice when they came home from school. After decorating the main area, I used the remaining mice to bring the same detail into another corner.
Orange burlap and paper embellishments
I wrapped pieces with leftover orange burlap, inspired by other wrapped vases and planters I had seen. Dollar Tree paper cutouts saved from the year before supplied eyes, mouths, bats, and other details to cut out and reuse.
A decorated dish-soap bottle
I also used Mod Podge on the bottle I keep dish soap in, repeating the seasonal decoration on something I use in the kitchen.
My Halloween kitchen jars and towels use other small additions around the room. The family-room Halloween display brings mice and spiders into another space.
