DIY Halloween Plate Decor

My house is looking like it just threw up Halloween right now...and things are scattered everywhere as I am doing last minute projects and prep for the Witch's Ball this weekend.  One of my easiest projects of late -- even easier than my Feather Boa Halloween Wreath, are my plates I made for the plate holders on either side of my big chalkboard in our eat-in kitchen area.

This is what the wall looked like before I started...


I picked up 4 white plates from The Dollar Store, 2 round and 2 square...I thought it might add a little "interest" if they were a little different.  And I found these Martha Stewart reusable Halloween Window and Mirror Clings.  Got them at Joann's with a 40% off coupon so they were less than $5.


I love that there are so many different designs to choose from and that I can reuse them year after year...and since I don't have to permanently attach them to the plate it will make changing out my plates each holiday easy and storing them a breeze!


I cleaned my plates, picked out my designs and stuck them on...it just doesn't get any easier than that.  And I spent less than $10 on this project...how awesome is that?!


I changed out my chalkboard quote and switched out the plates.  I also made sure to call out the family so that they could "ooh" and "aah" and tell me how great it all looks ;)



I am loving how it all looks and loving the price tag even more.  Can't wait to see what kind of window and mirror clings Miss Martha comes out with for Christmas so I can redecorate.  Guess I will need to try and find some more generic fall ones for after Halloween as well...can't wait!
