Spooky Sticks

A while ago, I bought three square vases in hope of changing them for each season or holiday.  I got the idea from Karla at It's the Little Things.  She filled hers with candy corn and sticks last Halloween.  I bookmarked that post and actually did it this year!  It is such a cheap, easy decoration.  J loves the "spooky sticks" in the entryway!



All I did was buy 3 bags of candy corn and dump a bag in each vase.

Then, J and I headed outside to find some sticks.  I broke them down and we spray painted them black. 

Finally, we stuck them in the vases for a spooky Halloween decoration!  I think I'm going to leave them up through fall... maybe add a pine cone turkey or two :o)

"Is this one spooky, Mom?"

Thanks for the inspiration, Karla!  I'm linking this idea up to all of my linky friends this week :o)
