Pandora's Box

 Pandora's box or drawer or...when looking for Halloween inspiration, I have NO lack of sources!

Halloween has always been a favorite of mine-for ALL of the reasons! And so, it makes sense that I would have an over abundance of Halloween "stuff" from crafting, scrapbooking, decorating, partying, etc. over my many years. When last we talked, I told you I was going to start the rest of the year's hangers so, after these guys which will take care of "sunflowers" and "autumn"...

...next up would be Halloween and Thanksgiving. I had trouble deciding on just what images I wanted but finally settled here:

And, of course, Halloween would be first. I was really leaning towards black for the frame. I still think it would have been beautiful but, for whatever reason, I went with the orange...maybe just to set off the small amount of orange in the image?

This is really such an easy craft. I found a piece of Tim Holtz scrapbook paper that had quadrants of different images and went with the bottom right which was almost the exact size I needed to cover the back.

The back doesn't really need to be covered but it is something I have always done and, just in case I were to move this to a different spot, the back might some day be visible so I might as well catch it while I'm here.

I'm trying to make each of these hangers just a bit different so I pulled out all sorts of things to see what I might want to use as embellishment. In the end, I distressed the edges of the frame with black ink, made a small tag and then a bow with a sheer ribbon and used a black glitter pipe cleaner twisted for the hanger.

I'm not swearing that the embellishments may not get tweaked a bit before October rolls around but, for now, I'm good with it as it is.

Well, the lights are starting to flicker and I hear some thunder so I am going to sign off before the power goes out. Next up will be Thanksgiving and I'll be back with that one soon. Stay safe and stay tuned.
