If you were following my blog last year you may remember the Christmas Cottage I had made from one of two houses I had bought for $1 each at Liquidation World . Well as promised I said that I would make a Haunted House this year for Halloween from the house that was left.
With a simple coat of paint (and some distressing) you can really make it something new:
I made a 'beware' sign from broken Popsicle sticks which I painted and hot glued together.
I also made the little pumpkins out of felt (tutorial coming soon).

I wanted to make the door way a little bit more 'creepy' but the mesh that was already in place made things a challenge. I decided to try and paint something that resembled a spider web and a little spider over top of the mesh, and this is what I came up with...
I wanted to incorporate a bat somehow and decided to put him on the very top, coming out of the chimney/steeple?...I decided to hammer in a small nail which I then painted black and hot glued two felt pieces (cut out in a bat shape) together with the nail in between.
...and there you have it my cute but spooky Haunted House.
