I love making my own decorations for Christmas, Halloween and Easter! I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Grandin Road and other places like those! I also get a lot of inspiration from Disney, Tim Burton and Dr Seuss. I love the whimsical style and I also like to combine vintage and modern.

Does anyone know if you could seal this so it could be used outside year round?

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

I'm not sure, I have never tried it. Maybe it would work with an outdoor varnish 🤔

The Evil-Eye Mushroom _(fungus maledictus)_ It is said that these mushrooms will pop up only where misfortune will strike. The more Evil-Eye mushrooms appear, the greater the misfortune will befall the area.
