We also asked Kristen how she decided to decorate this October. “I focused on a mixture of a cottagecore, woodland creature, and witchy decorations,” she revealed. “It gives off a fairytale vibe. Blending everything together is like composing a symphony.““I recovered two simple slip seat cushions with woodland animal fabric. Recovering slip seats is an easy DIY project that makes a huge impact. The fabric options available are endless and provide for fun and creativity,” the host explained. “I also picked up some dried moss and glass display boxes from a craft store. I added multiple colors of moss to the bottom of the glass boxes and added faux bones and a few small Halloween decorations I already had on top. It looks amazing and was so easy (and no mess!).”

“I also recommend getting glass display boxes. It’s even easy to find coffin shaped ones. Line the bottom of the box with dried moss and then place some nature-based decorations on top, like faux bones, little Halloween collectables, plants, rocks, sticks, etc.,” Kristen says.“Another option is to put down a base of shredded black or orange paper, and then arrange marbles, candy, or collectables on top. The possibilities are endless. To elevate it even more, add a battery operated votives or fairy lights.”
