i took a half mask, spray painted it a bit, added holiday ribbon but just because it's halloween doesn't mean you can't use christmas ribbon. this is like a mesh, i took an ornament and cut it down because it's a butterfly in orange, and the ribbon itself was $1, and this garden pick was 2.99. the ribbon was a small part of a pool that was 4.99 but it's probably 60 cents worth of the ribbon there. >> beautiful! >> and then look at this for the door swag, this beautiful wreath you created. feathers and more of the gauzy material here, and it looks absolutely gorgeous, but it doesn't have to break the bank. >> no, it does not. you can use your own creativity, and everyone is capable of doing something like this. give yourself a little time and have a little confidence and style. you do this at home. >> and maybe check out
