It's time again to decorate your celebrations with another Halloween Challenge at Decorate To Celebrate!!
I decided to make a pantry full of soups and stews fit for a ghoulish get-together!! These fun, up-cycled cans will make perfect favors filled with candy corn and double as delightful decor!! Each can was cleaned and had the label removed before The-Love-Of-My-Life worked his magic on giving each can a rusty finish... I then decoupaged a pre-made label onto each can and added a muslin covering with a length of homespun fabric ribbon.
My tags were created by stamping each sentiment on a small piece of muslin that I then trimmed into a tag shape. I found so many wonderful matching sentiments on my K Andrew Designs "Fall-O-Ween" Stamp Art Set... "eeek!" for the Spider Fangs, "Best Witches" for the Witch's Stew, and "Batty for you" for the Bat Spleen!! Oh, aren't they just so fun??? :)
To give the tags a bit of stability, I attached a cardstock tag to the back of the fabric tag (I used my CTMH background stamp for these little tags -- You may recall how much fun I'm having making these tags -- I'm adding them to everything!!). I also added a sprig of orange berries to each can to make them extra festive...
Don't you think my party guests will enjoy these fun little favors??? I think they'll find them delectable!! I wonder what other fun yummies I can add to these treats... Hmmm... Stay tuned to see!! :)
