Well I knew I needed to get my rear in gear if I was going to get the galley wall up before Halloween.

Having no idea how to do a gallery wall I checked out Pinterest and Youtube to find inspiration.

I discovered that you need to make templates of the different sized items and with painters tape, you can arrange the items on the wall.

Getting on the step stool and arranging took a little longer than I anticipated.

But low and behold I did it.

I have to admit it looks better in person than in the photos.

 

You have to forgive the crappy video I made.  I could not glide over smoothly and really you cannot see a darn thing.   But it is what it is.

Hopefully seeing this pictures will make it easier to see.

I tried hard to get the whole wall in one picture.

It did cut off the beware sign, but overall you can see all the signs and you can see the pillows and quilts.

Most items were bought at Joann’s Fabrics.  When it went on a special sale for 60% off I could not resist.

After all Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

The Trick or Treat bat was from Joann’s

The Witch Parking, a nice distress tin sign was from either Michaels or Joann’s.  I cannot remember.

The flying lessons was from Joann’s.  It was hard to find as they ran out.  I found one stuck in another aisle and grabbed it.

The Pumpkin Patch sign was from Michael’s Crafts.

 

The orange October 31 sign is a Joann’s and I love the little spider handing from the 3.

The x-ray in sections is from Michael’s.

The Something Wicked sign is really heavy with a heavy rope hanger.  I was concerned it might fall off the hooks.  I bought it at Joann’s.

The round circle with a bug imbossed on the front is a Michael’s sale item.

 

High up on the wall is a witch hat with the phrase “I will get you my pretty”  It also has a spider hanging from the tip of the hat.

Below that is the BEWARE sign from Target.  This sign lights up the room.   It has a solid glow or a mad scientist lab flicker.   I decided It did not want to have a seizure, so I went with the solid light.  LOL.

 

I also put my Halloween Pillows out on the couch with a few Halloween Quilts.

The pillows are from the 2017 Halloween Target dollar bin.   I am not 100% sure of the velvet BOO! pillow.

The quilt in the back was from Cracker Barrel a few years ago.  It has satin and lace and velvet squares.

 

This quilt I made 2 years ago from a kit on Connecting Threads.  It was the fist quilt I did some fancy machine quilting.  You cannot see it but I think an older post outlines the things I did.

There is also another Cracker Barrel quilt underneath it.  But it is hard to see.

The pillow is new, it was from Pier One.

These sequin beauties are from Sam’s Club.   I love the glitter and the orange and purple.

Here is a close up.

The beauty of this wall is that I will take the Halloween stuff down and add the autumn ones, then I will do the Christmas ones.
