Green and Black Halloween Banner and Orange and Black Halloween Banner

(Sept. 2010..I have a current banner for sale on my blog here)
I made these two Halloween Banners out of left over Black scrapbook paper, newspaper, lime green tissue paper and old jewelry of my grandma’s! I love the Lime green with the black. The little white pearls just added a unique touch.
I really loved the idea of repurposing my grandma’s old broken jewelry and incorporating pieces of it into this banner.

Just so fun and different!


I had the cardboard letters but they had a burgandy calico print on them so I painted them black and then added the glitter to make them really sparkle!

So fun!

Here is another Halloween Banner I made out of leftover Black Scrapbook paper, Newspaper, orange fluffy trim, and old jewelry! I gave this one to my cute mom.


Fun stuff huh!

Once again I repurposed my grandma’s old, broken, gold jewelry and just added touches of it here and there.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
