Hi Graphics Fairy pixies …
I’m Kelly of Eclectically Vintage and I’m thrilled to be fluttering my creative wings here!
I heart Halloween.
Well, I actually heart candy, so any excuse to beg for sugar is a hit with me.
My girls always complain that our Halloween house isn’t scary enough. They want blood, gore and guts.
But there’s only so much a girl can take but I try to please them …
within reason.
Make a Skull Banner
1) Print this skull art and cut out (I used seven skulls)
2) Glue skulls onto black poster board and cut out
3) Glue on goggly eyes for fun!
3) Punch a hole in each skull
4) String rope (I used clothesline) through the skulls and tape each skull to the back of rope to secure
5) Hang from a mantel, doorway or window and prepare to frighten all who enter!
Stop by EclecticallyVintage to see how I heart Halloween …
here are a couple of my fave ideas!
Happy Hauntings my little fairies – be sure to stop by Eclectically Vintage for more inspiration.

Cool idea. I downloaded both the skull used in this banner and several others. I thought perhaps making a banner with the different designs of skulls all contributing to the finished banner might be interesting. I don’t have black poster-board on hand, but do have white poster board… could paint it, I guess…

Love this. Had just enuf ink to print out 7 skulls, fun banner. I’m making several banners in hopes people will like them enuf to buy them.
We don’t do Halloween since no young grandkids any more or any kids come to trick or treat. Kinda boring around our neighborhood
. Nobody else does any Fall decorating either. Doesn’t stop me tho as I love all the Fall colors, leaves, acorns, pumpkins, etc. Really cheers up the house for two seniors. Hubs asks me why I decorate for Fall since it’s just us. I just love something to do, things to make. I can always pass them on to other people or give them to the thrift store to sell. That way I’m helping the thrift store besides buying things there. Thanks for great printable and sharing this fun project. Happy week

JaneEllen,
We don’t have kids around anymore either, but I still decorate. I belong to a Bunco group and I will be having it here for the month of October. Just the excuse I needed to make this banner. I love Fall, it is my favorite time of year. Crispy, not too cold, no frost on the ground yet and it reminds me of the pom pom corsages I used to get for Homecoming in College. Have a happy Fall and just wait until Christmas comes because I think that is my most decorating time of year. Have about 10 tubs of things to put out. We don’t get a real tree anymore. But I have a small Fiber Optics one just for that holiday. Don’t even get me started on Easter!
Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

So glad you like it JaneEllen – I love that you donate them to the thrift shop!
