I love that it's the time of year where I see Halloween content. 😊

[@chloearmenta]

Right?

[@algu97]

Loving it 🎃🖤

Idea for the terrarium: you could paint the inner background black so the cemetery inside will be more visible and not blend in with your surroundings, since it´s all clear glass. Everything looks great!

[@samanthawhat]

I agree about the black background. She could even slip some black paper or something in the background if she didn’t want it to be a permanent change.

[@jurosed]

I agree! She can also use some black paper and use a toothbrush to do the paint splatter effect with white paint to look like a starry night c:

[@meirich8028]

lydia angel great idea!

[@Renae.oschwald]

I was literally just looking to see if someone would suggest a background! Yes!!

[@FR3SHWiLL]

What about cotton pulled apart as fog? Might 'frame' the headstones like the grass does but can also lift up as more of a background as well.

[@Tunanunaa]

As an art major in college, I just wanted to say that you are doing everything perfectly. Art should be messy and experimenting/not knowing is part of the process 💛 Though if you do more painting projects in the future, I recommend using a plastic palette since the paint absorbs into cardboard which makes it dry faster. You don’t need anything fancy either; literally just a plastic lid to a yogurt container or something or plastic packaging is just fine.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Save any plastic food containers and they're perfect for mixing paint. For ex, i have a couple shredded parmesan and yogurt ones.

[@theNatalieGonzales]

I would hot glue some moss and stuff like that on the signs to make them look even more abandoned/worn/weathered/etc😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AstralAustin]

“I’m into plants, I just can’t keep them alive.” I felt that😭🖤

[@weikaillustration]

"I'm just not creative", proceeds to diy a bunch of killer halloween decorations Girl these look awesome !!

[@lauraigla6319]

So what are your thoughts on decor purchasing habits? I almost feel like the amount of decor turnover being pushed by store like michaels, home goods, Ross, etc approaches a fast-fashion type of wastefulness and unsustainability. Love going to goodwill for their halloween section though.

[@meanestmachine]

This is true, though I think Sarah has said that all of this stuff she stores and reuses. Nothing is just a one-off item. She might not use everything on year, but it doesn’t get tossed and will likely see another season. I think for people less mindful than Sarah it’s definitely an issue. That’s why I try to get all year round home decor so I’m forced to really love an item, not just think “oh this’ll be cute for Halloween” because then I’d have no self control lol

[@nocterniaobscura]

yeah Halloween is in fashion the last few years and the amount of stuff produced is ridiculous. Sarah reuses the stuff fortunately, we can see that in her videos. So even the stuff she buys new have a long life ahead of them. Personally I use them as decor all year round so I think 2-3 times before buying and I try to find them secondhand too! Also a great alternative is the little DIYs like the one she made with the bottles, were you do not really buy anything, you make it! Even the candle holder with the snake is an easy DIY if you have a candle holder and an old snake toy! I wish more people went for the DIY or second hand option, but I get that not everyone can, so I hope people at least minimize the purchases and use them many years!!

[@kimackerman2183]

I have two bottles of wine and you just gave me an idea with them! I don't have money to buy Halloween things so I always try to make my own every September. Thanks for the idea!

[@pinkesthibiscus]

I really liked the whole sit down DIY vibe of this video! It actually lead to me pausing the video and fetching my own supplies to craft along with you, which never happens. The simplicity of the crafts was nice too. I’d love to see more like this! 💗

[@helenedmunds2932]

Cobwebs would look really cute in the terrarium!!

[@lizlushouslife]

I could watch this content all day, every day!

[@bebenoeliaisabel]

KZbin BEBE Noelia 🌟🧟✋💀💀📲👍

[@MissGlitterGeek12]

You could try putting a thin layer of dirt under the moss ! I think that would add more dimension to it!

[@AngieWade]

I think everything turned out so good. I was most surprised by how well the snake turned out. I wasn’t expecting it to look so different from what it started as. It’s amazing how up cycled the green took it.

[@shannonleigh10]

Seeing Sarah vlogging again is just sooo oddly comforting! My Halloween-loving soul was so soothed by this! Everything turned out great!

[@victoriawalker3891]

Hi Sarah great video everything is so beautiful I love it all thank you for sharing

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Love the Mrs. Doubtfire reference. THE WHOLE TIME. Hehe! Great video!

[@wander.flower]

Yessss that giant toad reminds me of in Prisoner of Azkaban when they first go back to Hogwarts and the choir is singing, they are holding giant Toads that ribbet like instruments lol - at least that’s what I saw 👀

[@bebenoeliaisabel]

KZbin BEBE Noelia 🌟🧟✋💀📲👍

[@SpookyGhostHands]

I’m going to celebrate Halloween from now until the end of the year 🤷‍♀️ I’m gonna make the most of 2020

[@harushouse]

My mind is blown at the rechargable batteries!! 🔋 Thanks for the eco tip & awesome craft ideas

[@daliasimpson8733]

I did a cemeterrarium this year too! Mines just a bit smaller. I used a glass dodecahedron and some black sand from dollar tree and I made a tree to go along with it

[@squirrel_tea5740]

I swear.. the EXACT layout of the shelves, and the position of everything on the shelves looks JUST like a store I went to in Portland, OR last week

[@cristydavis9651]

So glad you were able to take us Halloweening with you. I love the bottles and terrarium. They look fantastic. I can’t wait to see your Harry Potter themed video.

[@RedRona7]

Everytime you say you're not creative I think about how beautiful and elegant all your DIY'S turning out. I don't know if it's creativity or talented but you're good! :)

[@SarahDaviK]

I feel like that cemetary terrarium would look dope with a string of lights woven in and out of the moss!

[@agneskorea5000]

I love the arrows! To the terrarium, I would use coffee powder and little bits of the other stuff...

[@belperkins]

U could keep the switch for the terrarium on the outside so it’s easier to turn on

[@robotmusik]

I love your Halloween content! These diy and decorating videos are my favorite! Give yourself some credit lady! You just inspired all of us to get crafty!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@Sunshine34891]

i LOVE that snake candle holder!!!! it's very cute half green 👏🏻👏🏻

[@megandeucore3174]

Definitely heading to the thrift store tomorrow to pick up a couple bottles and/or vases to do the black dripping DIY. Totally thinking of switching it up and having a Harry Potter Halloween next year

[@ladyemma94]

I love the snake candle holder and the graveyard terrarium!

[@MichaelaDanielle95]

I see Harry Potter and Halloween and am instantly excited and subscribed! Can’t wait to see everything since those are some of my favorite things!

[@kicks1975]

I like you!!! Coz you’re so real and makes everything doable! Some DIYs are just impossible to do. Thanks for posting the process (including errors)!

[@mainecoonmomma9494]

The snake pillar candle holder reminds me of house slitherin. I love all of it.

[@marriedtomyanxiety]

Loved those signs you made. You did a really good job from what I could tell. I'm so pumped for Halloween! 🧡🖤

[@juliagalvao169]

you working with paint with a cute shirt and your hair down, what a hero

[@lukeycharms]

watching you do the DIYs was so relaxing! you killed them can’t wait to see them all come together in decorating

[@Blueyez369]

These are great! I love how your signs turned out, and the two toned wax drip bottles.

[@kennedy5352]

some little pumpkins and a black cat figurine would make the terrarium perfect!

[@RedRosesDead07]

I love your DIY videos and your Halloween decor hauls, this is my favorite time of year! Spooky Queens UNITE! I bought the tarot bowl because of this video (NO blame, ha ha), it's GORGEOUS and I also bought the tarot card drink coasters that was on the World Market website! I needed them, you understand lol! I'm hoping my order won't be cancelled, I had that happen with a JoAnn's order yesterday - I tried buying a black crescent moon wreath and it was plucked outta my hands, so sad! I have gone to a few 99 Cent Stores to try and find the ceramic Palmistry hands but I found none, I'm so sad about that... I've been collecting Palmistry hands for a couple of years. I saw the gold snake candle holders but the two that were left were sad snakes, very wonky. I love how much stuff the dollar stores have this year, they are upping their Halloween game, it's just not my aesthetic. Halloween decor is lifestyle decor for me.... I need things to look like they would fit right at home in an Oddities cabinet and not cutesy, kitchy, or cheesy. I would say Michael's has been wonderful for that kind of aesthetic for me the last two years and they keep getting better. One collection I saw on another video had a green, burgundy, and black color theme - skulls with flowers, dragon eye bottles, snakes and such. JoAnn's was a disappointment, the spooky art deco thing is pretty but not my cup o' tea. My favorite of your DIY's were the bottles, the "wax" looks amazing! I painted tall glass jar candles last year and the more you touch them, the more the paint can scratch off so beware!

[@Radargold]

I think if you put little tiny pumpkins in your terrarium it could look really cool :)

[@Wintercirce]

Loved them all!! I think the signs and the bottles were my favorite ❤

[@clubemerald]

I loved watching the diy process. Also, my cat was trying to communicate with your cat meowing in the background.

[@meganhultman9693]

Just a tip on the snake boi: dry brushing is a really good technique to age things. Just a tiny bit of paint on a dry brush and apply until you get your desired effect. I really do love that wash of dark green though!

[@bebenoeliaisabel]

KZbin BEBE Noelia 🌟🧟✋💀📲👍

[@Noe278]

I love the Halloween content! Since it's frown upon to celebrate Halloween in my country, watching your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you! 😄 I cannot wait to see more!

[@ransacktheelders5119]

I really liked everything you did, I can't pick a favorite.

[@ANGELB0T]

The cemeterrarium is so pretty, I’ve never seen anyone do it with candles on top, but I think that’ll add a rather interesting effect

[@jaclynfrankum2801]

Idea for the gold snake to make it even more cool! Do some dry brush technique on it with like a black or brown paint. Kinda where you have a very small amount of paint on the brush and kinda lightly go over it. Would just add some extra dimension to it and really accentuate the scales! Love the terrarium in this! Definitely going to do something inspired by that!

[@Stephy2185]

Love it all! The Shrieking Shack woulda been great to put on a sign too. I could see a literal crossroads sign worth knockturn alley one way and the shrieking shack the other *i commented this mid video and was happy to see you went with shrieking shack after all

[@froggyfella14]

I love the little Mrs. Doubtfire reference!! Such a funny scene

[@annawhite2005]

this is the ONLY content i want right now

[@cami632]

I love this video!!!! 😻😻😻😻 everything look amazing!! Cant wait to see the final result 💜

[@sleepingxrose]

Everything looks soo good! The signs are probably my fav

[@VICKYWELLER]

These all look amazing!! You are so creative. Can not wait for Halloween!! Btw, the music in this video gave me Sinister vibes 😍

[@linds]

I think the terrarium needs some fencing, you can get white picket fences from hobby lobby or other craft stores in the doll house making sections! Then you can paint it black and add them in :3

[@melissamenchaca9121]

I do a Harry Potter inspired Christmas and I think the wine bottle candle holders would look fabulous in a gold and white 🎄 🕯

[@JennaMcCallister]

A cemetarium! 🤣 So cute.

[@itsmekennyxoxo7047]

This is so gratifying. Always love your Halloween DIYs!

[@faesandwich2667]

Those signs are my favorite, but all of your diys turned out awesome!

[@psychopatyc]

these are all so cool! i dont really care for halloween but i love how excited you are about it and i also love watching the DIYs

[@marylie3435]

SARAH YOU MAKE ME SO INSANELY HAPPY EVERY SINGLE YEAR! ♡ your content seriously could not be more entertaining, soothing and wholesome. Lots of love from Germany ♡

[@ApprehensiveWitch]

You are so brave to paint things in the middle of the living room. I would inevitably get paint on my elbow or forearm, not realize it, and end up spreading it everywhere....LOL

[@lpr16]

Watching this is so calming!

[@itscinna5540]

Those bottles look so good omg !! I’m so happy they turned out so well

[@judyarlene]

My mom and I, every time that was worry that something didn't look good: NO, THAT LOOKS GREAT!!!! Especially the snake, what a quick and easy upgrade on that.

[@SeleneLedezma]

I definitely loved the bottle DIY might try it myself and the terrarium looked really good as well!

[@malena.p]

I love your videos! here in Spain we don't really celebrate Halloween so your content makes me feel cozy and ready for autumn 🍂 thank you!

[@NerdSquish]

I love the little terrarium! It’s came out so cute!

[@brimo3384]

13:20 subtle Mrs. Doubtfire reference lol Also the diys came out so cute 🥺 🖤🧡💛🎃

[@sarahhawkinson]

omg thank you for catching that 😭🖤

[@kimberlyreiter3213]

All your items turned out fantastic! Time to make a shopping list🖤

[@thegreenonions]

For the cemetary terrarium you could get some extra battery operated fairy lights (lairy fights!) and stick them in there, that way you could see whats going on much better!

[@norwAySMR]

I really like the Azkaban sign, especially with the paint splatter effect :D I would have tried to keep the top of the hot glued bottles open though, so that you could fit candles in them!

[@jennzames9044]

I'm doing little Halloween at home, and it's only Slytherin theme so I really love your ideas! 😍

[@ransacktheelders5119]

Yeah! Matching spider socks!

[@san1883]

Omg everything turned out SO GOOD. Also, you have such a calming vibe, you just give off this ”everything will be okay” energy & it’s so nice, I’m so relaxed right now ☺️☺️

[@AbKhaos]

Everything looks so gooood! I'm definitely going to paint some bottles

[@angxlicpxrity_2586]

Sarah: “I’m not an artist” Also Sarah: paints almost everything

[@fakyoy8042]

We love your channel Sarah! Never left us! 😩

[@KerlyFries]

If you could find some tiny pumpkins ooor little ghosts/zombies...or even little bats to hang from the top somehow, I think that could fill the missing piece of your terrarium. But it also looks amazing now!

[@katiehess1752]

I loveeee the bottle DIY but I would probably try and figure out how the leave the top open enough for an actual candle too

[@san1883]

You could probably just stick the candle in there and then apply the hot glue just like how she did, it would probably make the candle stuck there forever though lol, and you couldn’t use it unless you’re okay with the wax running down onto the bottle & hot glue. But it would look really cool regardless!!

[@aubrienader6049]

damn okay Sarah Stewart over here. I feel like i'm watching a pro. thoroughly enjoyed this. brings me back to the old HGTV days (maybe still current HGTV ..i'm a millennial i don't pay for cable XD)

[@superherocrap]

I really want to do the one with the bottles and wax! Maybe even use real wax of some candles I've in my craft stack for ever and just paint them black after aaah I'm excited now haha

[@shedevil6034]

I was just out of videos to watch before I saw the notification so ty, btw, Happy early Holloween everybody :) Also,I loved the cemetery terrarium the most, real spoopy

[@maistyle88]

Hard to decide between the bottles and the arrows - cause they turned out great! - but could see myself do all of these. :P Great job! Love your content. 😊

[@kassidyrice3791]

Did anyone else have to get up halfway through to make popcorn because she kept mentioning the popcorn bowl? Also everything turned out so great and this video made me so happy. And I bought that cauldron mug cake thing from target a week ago and it's my FAVORITE I've been using the mug daily.

[@laumoonchild]

Is that time of the year! YAY! I’m always looking forward for these vids. The melted bottles are gorgeous! Thinking of doing that!🖤✨

[@odessaodette7855]

Omg I love that cauldron!!! My Spirit Halloween sucked 😭😭😭

[@christawright3500]

Love all of your diys! I'm an artist and sell my spooky stuff on Etsy. You're a natural good job! Making your own decor is gratifying.. Can't wait to see your decorating video! Loved the Harry Potter one last year.

[@susanvinson2667]

Can’t wait to see it all put together. Great job on the dyi!

[@whatthehorror]

Absolutely loved this video! In the UK the Halloween supplies are pretty thin on the ground for some reason which is really disappointing. I've been inspired to just create some of my own 🖤🖤🖤

[@kalilovestheshins]

So gooood!! Love your videos 🤓 makes me fully get into spooky moood!!

[@marcelzapelini8254]

Can we talk about how cute was Sarah when she was concentrated on doing the painting and stuff?

[@itscarolinemary]

The green-ish snake kinda reminds me of the basilisk now! I really liked the wine bottles! :) You should add some cobwebs/mossy bits to the signs when you hang them up!

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

I think that the snake came out a lot better than it was! Gold is a dead giveaway (halloween pun intended?) for cheap dollar shop items. You can also try “dry brush technique”, which is probably quite self explanatory, to add depth to the scales and make the gold more tarnished.

[@beebeardia]

They all turned out good but I liked the cemetery terrarium best

[@maddalena5708]

Love it! You are relatable and fun!

[@mercy677]

I feel like the terrarium needs some tiny spooky little black trees. It's so cute already! Can't wait to see what you do with it!!!

[@d4arken3ds0ul]

for the terrarium you couldve added trees then add a layer above the branchy moss that looks like dirt followed by the grass then add trees and headstones after i.e. the moss lower layer would be roots with the graveyard above that with trees

[@meaganryall389]

One of my friends just got mad at me for celebrating Halloween too early 🤣 so I came to this video to feel like my Halloween habits are appreciated

[@Bhilithinn]

Your friend would hate me! I started decorating late August.

[@sarahhawkinson]

um it’s NEVER too early

[@meaganryall389]

Sarah Hawkinson thanks for being on my side 😭😭😭

[@meaganryall389]

Bhilithinn same lol

[@lunalovebuzz]

I lovee how you unapologetically go all out on this, at the risk of viewers saying it's not sustainable or whatever. I hope that doesn't sound backhanded cos I mean it! I know you'll use this stuff every year, and look at how happy it's making you!! (Also yes to rechargeable batteries 😁)

[@wiebelziel]

I just wish she got more stuff secondhand or DIY. You don't need to buy so many new things to go "all out"! Minimalism doesn't suit me at all either, I like a lot of decoration and art around me, but overconsumption is killing people and planet, so I just can't support that.

[@RH-bc8uh]

Charlotte agreed

[@froggybryce]

For the terrarium, you could try to put a little black iron fence in the back to fill in some of the blank space!
