Add a ribbon bow for a little extra finishing touch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOF1KMA3s72sF_GhidjBaclu4Z4qMpPSAEHAPULvwoGctt3tV7KWCSMm2rg__XKrnZyzCosu5awUr-O2gPfZRB76DYiuD2MA-tfLxdSV2efMJUCUE9PltVWb0i9_YWWvdvPobKIIcWJo4u/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /> </div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Spooktacular Sodas</span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Being a party guest is thirsty work, and what kid could resist these dressed-up soda bottles? Chill sodas prior to the party and embellish right before it starts with our printable black-and-white striped paper and a punched tag. Tie on a straw with twine; open bottles if guests will be enjoying them during the party, or leave the caps on if they'll be taking them home as a favor.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPtk5MYYjDEh5lazdegxplLd76CV51DQ8eCClUE6QaHgkrRFM_UtJCFSi-dYLh_2zWyCJVwAlYgfy33C6c4nFv4W5GElJHDDcyiewWToXdkfhVkxGJtD6mBekBuxn0duEF_7xJyI1B8eaq/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>Rock Star Kids love rock candy sticks.</b></span> </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Place them by the door and they won't be able to resist taking one for the road as they leave the party. To add a little embellishment, cut strips from our printable black-and-white striped paper, attach with double-sided tape and cut into a flag shape. Display on a white platter so the colors pop. </div><div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2cYyZSFAsL0t57HESNCLm0GiofCmmwkdMGlpUOkj6lAoTBNtabPT-SOU7ddPieexdZIqCP8TS_GKcuTmHUAq_gItm5O5ZSiQeuCMPE__wNtoAfgUPUIoyFQtQI5u46uznq8iJb4vwvhXf/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Mason Jar Favors </span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mason jars are everywhere these days and they're a great, affordable party favor. For Halloween, fill with white candy to make a ghost or orange candy to make a pumpkin. Top with a circle cut from our printable black-and-white striped paper and replace the lid. Use decals or stickers to create the ghost or pumpkin face. Tie on one of our printable tags with twine to complete the look.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aBhvcbvckrU0xitN2njDKoC4q2Qc8bW4tvRMhuYWwla1oeLopYr9lLGwXag2_8qcrCKRB85N3KPlkLsGcndhBdReXzQ7jOyaK6qNpjDFCs8ByuBm1kJHor-qB5uI3AVxD89rvEYhsCaI/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /> </div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Them Bones, Them Bones</span> </span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mini candy bones give these marshmallow treats a crunchy texture kids love. To create them, skewer a regular-sized marshmallow onto a 6-inch lollipop stick. Dip into melted chocolate and, while the chocolate is still warm, roll in candy bones. For perfect presentation, display in small cupcake liners and top each stick with a little black bow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiItu0Mj6blDCkF38Lm8GeYoucwNynNERB6KVTdAouipSzvnfioWoboUHDVC5XpdXwzw_aQGdJdeNcXXq7KlU0VjwB7xVyKXP0JEf1taRYcQdzMwiQMXUija_suBDIXcM9OCTThMxkqJU3_/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /> </div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Trick-or-Treat Tubes</span> </h2><div style="text-align: center;">These clear tubes are turning up at parties everywhere not only because they're adorable, but because they're so easy! Just fill with candy or gumballs and top with a printable Halloween flag design. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-BcezYGrO_rz2cFO32c_tHrZQbTcCFtURjWmlyy1J2tkDoAyliUxBdDTkYPlQgFYVvRWDXYWbyiWq63vRIFlJUGySQW9qygfeMWsTgWacph0g9Z2XOyoXoZdf-bRAiiLKW1p5VkTiQFD6/s640/Halloween-Party-Favor-Treat-Bag-2013-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /> </div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Cookie Monster</span> </h2><div style="text-align: center;">Another simple idea is to send your guests home with a sweetly packaged cookie.

Give your home decor a lift with these easy decorating projects that are fun, fresh, and fast!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCrw8fUs0aGMII33M2mejs_eSFaBABTWi984l1IJg744HxCeJb0-_nFgQLIUSzf-BeCEGuu5Pp1QEL620rbfpWBWq-9Dovj4GKBxHF3vTeNHovFqz0bOJ_gXy06OLP8OqUaVdGJDrH/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Bench Seating</b></span></div><br />Dress up a dining spot with a charming bench seat. Pair an upholstered headboard with a seat-height bench to create this quaint settee with ease. Hang the headboard a few inches above the bench top so it's easy to toss on a comfortable cushion. Use anchor bolts to secure the headboard to the wall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7P5Ssmu9fyQC1GDfTfSiuirk4AmhBDhQ4vN5GuladHtyX8n1SRd2xRmhIF_8H4M8gsuD-QQ24d5li8O52f6RGWeUiQO2iPYbu1BuiPMgV_iGetvRXGQ4SJmGbcRs03J47rkndh2Sw/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Decorative Memo Station</b></span></div><br />Turn a plain bulletin board into a decorative accessory that's functional, too. Display a bulletin board in a stylish frame  try a chunky black frame for modern decor or gilded molding to fit more traditional style. Then add a decorative wall decal on the cork to dress up the memo board.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8CQHIvYepM4F83Ls5YnJNdheewNxzln-zERLfvUgLsiVXZAkzkcvQIxNZWszsqGl5v6ljLTYkk-qqVdEnYa0A7Nz7k0RqswNKUqjXzW6INZVGz8lJYSGhgINbPFJ9kt8jJddsAH2j/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Unexpected Bookcase</b></span></div><br />Turn a nonfunctioning fireplace into a practical and pretty storage space by outfitting it with shelves. Measure the opening and build a plywood insert to fit snugly inside. Cut shelves to fit across. Then paint the pieces and wallpaper the back of the insert. Screw the shelves in place and set the insert in the firebox.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiriWbvWbYL5N_4-wuLeIOLyY2SfYbc5UJfrDExoqQBSrewEwy_6H6DmjM4JTYQKOU9X5o7YyzxDNWepShDSoRoslnpkD6JdtQ5QjwBfpo2cYFoKxHir-wgHLtlx-24dRcaKk2lirdn/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Facelift</b></span></div><br />Turn a tired piece of furniture into a new treasure. Search flea markets and garage sales for old furniture with good bones. This charming desk was originally a vanity table. After the mirror was removed, the table was sanded, primed, and painted. Pretty papers decoupaged onto the drawer fronts and new knobs add decorative character.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAjYTzDXPXJ6j8C5uaG5h3ERfNlWLaRtijpnLV5nqFcJ3v3xgrKNniYBd04HNR8L539MU2crFxl9OlpSJBM4xwHkYUftAEzhGjsTNXRd9VxR1wndBmSugPLafBmc6dRJvANiMT_zv/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Creative Dining Display</b></span></div><br />Think outside the box. In the dining room, try this creative alternative for a standard hutch or china cabinet. Hang a pair of bookcases horizontally on the wall, then slide a third on the floor below. Display favorite dinnerware and keep serving pieces handy in the cubbies. Install the middle bookcase at counter height so it serves double-duty as a buffet station or bar.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOjQV8Vm36xk1MpqhHFivWjpY4ORqczW4qSx9E0sDmVH4tXaKMis23hNiIv46bCGrLoPP9zQYxGRCtRa1dTm16AJ0IxoJ_cfq-N0OtX4Gd-fxpEOrBc92PpHvs8qEMiP6dP6laUqE/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Pretty Wall Panels</span></b></div><br />Finding artwork to make an impact on a large, empty wall can cost a fortune. Instead, make your own for a custom look and fit. Choose sheer curtain panels to coordinate with your room's decor. Paint large stripes on the wall slightly wider than the panels. Mount short curtain rods at the ceiling to hang the curtain panels in front of the stripes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfwIjxrdbhIGhyoP8ewS2oXegZAl6GV__HUAv7fKOZHurfey3kO2zWbulqqUm4BkuyF3bQPsBHyi3tbPKGHxwFAdevnES57vU1Pwbneccyi_Dv-hfJsUy4b7URCfRbvHHntz-APeZt/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Easy Access</b></span></div><br />Save money by repurposing old furniture. A paint job and a new set of casters turned this old bedroom shelving unit into a rolling kitchen cart. Its shelves are perfect for holding linens and dishes. The drawer, with its updated drawer pull, can stash takeout menus.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicyibY-mrSFBWPIPL6JL1BWmh5_07mJpHMt3mwgsqNfr82ceddLh7orEeXd_LhUU-OTYhxcMS9tX4RUNbZWQvE6OA6ACb1aJKBFemIbUQSgVU2OaM6OQsd1TmDTRocC_yzgROKMmrq/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Classy Update</b></span></div><br />Transform a dresser with paint and wallpaper. Chic taupe paint and toile wallpaper highlight this dresser's traditional lines. Play with the position of the wallpaper until you're happy with the design, and then cut the paper to fit the drawer fronts. After painting the dresser, apply the wallpaper; protect it and the painted surfaces with an acrylic sealer .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQ_QDKD9P_rV0C_XN_tYGq3302JZo2LGKqNzBgrWagEfK3mtRbjur1S1C8XTr8fQyImQbSXD5OZYQXUp6_6_H0eNktgEi1Qp0WdFJyglNAa6fJ6a7gdTI-elUxTw-CywHKsSItkZ6/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Wallpaper Effect</b></span></div><br />Try this alternative to glue-on wallpaper. Use an oversize stencil to add pattern to your walls. Paint the stencil pattern from floor to ceiling for an overall wallpaper effect. Or stencil below a chair-rail or plate-rail height, or on just one accent wall. A mottled paint finish gives this damask stencil design more dimension and texture.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXIjoPWZQ2JiADlPraiTS0xpzWLVPVD4skxqJ33-nE-T6R8yuy4KP8bl3ELns432hhMBEaOTqaTXAwrxNNE15VNzUtO2dDpDeARtt3D__RAkYjBRqUVRTICHOtWM14MC_LxXpEThd/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Easy to Assemble Table</b></span></div><br />Whip up a one of a kind side table in a jiffy.

With a dab of construction adhesive, glue the tray to the top of an adjustable-height stool for a handy table you can raise and lower.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMe3ERUKx586Q1DVruPO7Tor3uY9c4ZpcczJiVFtWEYOWp3hOINO9zfLiAx5qDLTh5A7WcZyJddY6eIKht25ISRMq_g2niJPRAjzq4WkQPnTK40nUyTlfYAaimz_wGwfib7ovQvDjt/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Make an Entrance</b></span></div><br />Transform a simple doorway into a pretty passage. Hang curtains in a standard doorway to add a soft, decorative touch to a room. For a sophisticated finish, top the curtains with a classic valance made from an architectural pediment. Paint the pediment and add wooden rope trim, if desired, for a traditional accent. Then screw hooks into the back of the valance to hang a tension rod for the panels, and screw the valance to the doorway molding.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi36U8n9EnmTrJ5T_SH5cAKWMvByXbPUEhxdiOIxRBt2_7-2xx1vSK51mCVwg6VmzIcLH_uAwRG5UjdAaVuzV5xz5k_D8-6SBsD-6eLhxXULpLj62XbrIvqQo-Xx_0pAmNUSfqF1oxG/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Easy Artwork</b></span></div><br />Artwork doesn't have to be expensive or hard to find to be pretty and special.

The ready-made PVC latticework panels are mounted on the wall above the baseboard and topped with a chair rail made from 1x4 and 1x2 boards. Screen molding is nailed in place to hide the joints where the panels meet. Paint the raw wood pieces with white paint color-matched to the PVC.
