They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but this spooky village was! With the simple use of bird boxes, paint and a few spiders, we were able to take Halloween home decor to the next level. This spooky village is a fun way to get creative with the entire family, maybe even making the neighbours jealous. Halloween is all about fun and creative expression, and we think of no better way to do that than this eclectic DIY project.
