I had tons of fun with this line.  If you have been following the Moxxie Blog then you may have see my Haunted House!  I am in love with it and now it is proudly displayed in my home as part of my Halloween Decor.  


Here it is all lit up!
 For this blog hop I was so excited to add to my decor with yet another fun project.  I made a really fun candy buffet.

 I saw this idea on Pinterest and could not wait to make my own version.  Here is the link to the original blog post. Bargainbound.blogspot.com  You should check out her blog for other fun things to do. 

I started checking out garage sales and flea markets for candlesticks and glass pieces.  It took me a while to gather all that I wanted but I finally got it done.  I still find myself looking for more.  They were a mish mash of wood, glass, ceramic and some weird gold stuff.  I set them out in the garage and spray painted them with this yummy brown Textured Metallic paint from Rust-Oleum.  I love it.  It is brown but it has some orange glitter in it.  Not only is it perfect for Halloween but it works in just about every room of my house for any occasion.  So, I will probably offer a candy buffet a lot!  


With help from my husband, we used E6000 adhesive to glue the glass to the candlestick.

Then I made a series of tags using the All Hallows Eve line to attach to the different buffet pieces.  I used the paper, the die cuts and the stickers and I really like the way they turned out.  One of the tags incluedes a printed saying I made with the computer.  I was originally going to make all of my own candy or food related sayings but then just loved the stickers and die cuts by themselves.  I may take the tags off the buffet early and attach the tags to candy gifts for friends.  They really did turn out nice.  




 This one (above) is the one I printed.



I added them to the display.  Some are tied to the candlesticks or glass jar and a couple are just propped up into the display.  Then I added the candy.  It is so fun and I am so happy that I made it.  I can't wait for people to come over and have a bit of candy.   Here are some more photos





Rebbeca's Blog is next.   Thanks for hopping!  I hope you are enjoying the projects and I hope you have a lot of  fun along the way! 

Until next time,
Michelle
