Elf on the Shelf Door

We have a few ways for you to reintroduce your Elf into your home. Yesterday we shared Elf comes back with a welcome back package. Today we have another option for Elf returning to your home. Consider having him come through an Elf door.

Elf is Back! All of a sudden, a door showed up in our home and the next day an Elf came through! In our photo, we added this Mud Pie Elf Door. I love the Christmas lights around the door frame! Very festive.

Arrival Elf Door

You can also find more Elf Doors online. I mean, you guys, the possibilities are really endless.

In first Elf on the Shelf Door, you can get a ladder (to climb up the baseboard) and little footprint templates to have your shelf walking across the floor (just add flour!)

In this second Elf Door, you get a cute white picket fence and evergreen wreath. What would scream home sweet home more?

This final idea is a sticker Elf Door – easy peasy.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Shelfies Are the New Gallery Walls – Shelves Decor Ideas

August 22, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Home Improvement, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media

What are Shelfies? How Can I Decorate My Shelves? Bookshelves are the new gallery walls. Get inspired with these Shelfies Shelves Décor Ideas.

Shelfies Shelves Decor Ideas

You heard it here first, mmm-kay? Shelfies. Shelfies are the new gallery walls and learning to display your “stuff” can express more about yourself than you realize.

What are Shelfies?

Shelfie is an amazing picture of a shelf. It’s top notch shelf decor ideas to show off off someone’s books, movies, art, collectibles, special belongings, etc. A shelfie displays completed bookcase decor with aesthetically pleasing design and home decor ideas.

How Can I Decorate My Shelves?

It’s easy to decorate shelves. Mix up the size, orientation, and shapes for visual interest. Begin with collectables and home décor that tell a story of oneself. This can be family heirlooms, travel souvenirs, favorite books, photographs and more. When you have collected pieces that tell your story, place them all together on a table for easy assembling. You want to begin with a cleaned off shelf.

There is a formula for decorating shelves. When searching for things to put on its important to mix larger and smaller items, as well as textures. Try to keep complementary colors together (i.e. Navy blues and lights blues, blacks and whites.) Your shelves need to produce layers. Backgrounds and foregrounds. Remember simple is more. When you create a cluttered shelf, the story is lost and no longer told.

A few shelf décor ideas include the tips…

Start with larger items and then add touches of smaller items (high and low)
Use a triangle formula for bringing yourself together
Mix textiles and consider contrast and texture
Create layers (photo in back, vase in front, small décor piece beside)
Mix in greenery to give life
Arrange in odd numbers – pair things in sets of 3, 5, 7…
Place collections together like candle sticks or glass bottles
Pull elements forward on the shelf (not pushed back)
Add lighting without hiring an electrician to highlight favorite pieces

Once you have decorated bookcases, look for areas where the are gaps or missing pieces. To fill these spots, it is time to visit a flea market, thrift store, or your mother’s china cabinet (please ask her first). You can even visit home good stores like Michaels, T.J.Maxx, Home Goods and more. I have even used the internet or Facebook Marketplace to look for treasures from favorite countries I have visited (i.e. India, Singapore, Mexico and more.)

Whatever your personal style, perhaps you’ll feel inspired when challenged by your next bookshelf organizing endeavor!

Consider painting the back of bookshelves the same color as the walls, allowing the white frame of the book shelf to pop. Break the rules for decorating shelves and keep all your books horizontal, grouped by color with small accessories dispersed throughout. | Amanda Reynal on Martha Stewart

Speaking of color coding books for display, try this fun idea. Organize each shelf individually. For instance, keep warm colors on the right, cool on the left, and neutral in the middle. The end product will make the color coding vertical. | Up to Date Interiors

Have grandmillenial taste? Style with your favorite coffee table books and hide your magazine vices with artwork and sketches. | Coastal Home

Have a built-in can be quite expensive unless working with something like a DIY Billy Bookcase Design. If DIY isn’t your think, try a floating bookshelf like Clear Acrylic Bookshelves. (This is what we used in my sons room and they look amazing!) | Source

Organize books by the color of their spines to create color-blocked bookshelf décor. Vary heights and create interest by stacking books horizontally as well as lining them up vertically.

Deep bookshelves give you the luxury to play with layers. Lean artwork along the back of the shelves, and anchor them with books or heavier objects. To decorate the bookcase, place a few small pieces of art near the front of the shelves to give them depth. Bulky vases or decorative plates can hide their heft behind small frames without losing their uniqueness. | BHG

Create vignettes. To keep your bookshelf from feeling too stark you will want to create a few vignettes within the stacks of books. Let the books be the focus, but adding a small lamp, a little accessory in front of books, or even some flowers can help break up all of the vertical and horizontal lines that the books create. | Style by Emily Henderson

Tide Pod Container Ghost Craft for Halloween

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

August 20, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media

You will never guess the upcycled product that created this fun and exciting Halloween Ghost Craft. Print our ghost template printable and use with or without a Cricut machine. Taking only a matter of minutes and a free ghost face cut out printable, this makes a cute and ridiculously easy Halloween craft for adults or the kids.

Halloween is coming up, and it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to make this year spooky. You could go the traditional route of telling ghost stories in front of a roaring fire or dressing up as your favorite character for trick-or-treating. But if you want to make something that is fun and easy to make, then this Tide Pod ghost craft is just the thing!

How to make a Halloween ghost craft

This upcycled craft is inexpensive to make and uses supplies you might already have in your home. Even if you don’t use Tide Free & Clear Pods, you can purchase the laundry soap and use it while repurposing the container for this Halloween ghost craft.

Materials needed:

An empty, clean Free & Gentle Tide Pod container
Ghost eyes and mouth template – download and save it to use later
Black adhesive vinyl for the ghost’s face – you can also use black Sharpie, construction paper or an adhesive printer label
Liquid glue (if not using adhesive vinyl)– to attach the eyes and mouth onto the ghost head. I found that regular craft adhesive works well but you can also use Modge Podge and it looks great.
Scissors (if not using a vinyl cutting machine)

Instructions:

First remove the top from the container and discard. We won’t be using the lid for this project.

Next I removed the label from the laundry pods container by soaking in hot water until the label softens. Then I scraped the label off carefully, using GooGone to remove it completely.

Tip: You can also use a heat gun to warm the label but the ease of this option varies based on the brand. For instance, I found using a heat gun to be easy on Gain containers but difficult on Tide containers.

Once the container is ready, print out the ghost face template and cut out the pieces. Place the ghost face pieces on the back of the adhesive vinyl and trace them with a pencil. Cut out the pieces.

For a Cricut Halloween project, if you’re using a cutting machine, open the template in your software and trace the pieces. Cut the eyes and mouth out of the adhesive vinyl.

Peel the backing off the vinyl and apply the face pieces to the side of the container.

If you’re using colored paper, trace the shapes and cut them out. Apply glue to the pieces and place them on the side of the container.

If you’re using printable labels, print out the template, cut the pieces out and apply them.

If you are using a black permanent marker, use the ghost face cut out as a guide to trace your own face.

Can I use a different container?

Although I used a Tide Free & Clear soap container, you can substitute a different brand that’s white or use a colorful one like the orange Tide container. Perhaps turn it into a fun pumpkin or spray paint it white.

Got milk? In our Halloween Hacks, we shared light up ghost crafts using a gallon milk jug for iSave A to Z. Just incorporate upcycled Christmas lights and you have a boo-tiful luminary. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

Ways to display your Halloween ghost craft

There are so many fun ways to display your ghost craft. You can place your ghost on a table or counter to set up as the perfect Halloween night scene. You might want to include other Halloween decorations like spiders, black cats, and witches hat bowls filled with candy for trick-or-treating.

This cute ghost would also be a great addition to your Halloween front porch décor with some pumpkins around him. Get a small hay bale from your local craft store and set up a spooky setting with spider webs that will impress your trick-or-treaters. Or use as fun Halloween lighting displaying up and down the staircase.

Ghost Template Printable

There are two formats you can get this FREE Ghost Template printable. Choose either a PNG for your Halloween Cricut Craft or download at a ghost PDF to use the ghost face as a template for tracing with a sharpie marker.
