DIY 90's Style Puff Paint Halloween Sweatshirts for Kid's + Adults

Y’all know I love anything throwback and holiday themed, especially if it is reminiscent of my childhood. I remember having so many of these tacky-but-adorable puff paint sweatshirts growing up for holidays that my mom or Memaw would make for my sister and I (usually matching!). After sharing some of my favorites from my collection earlier this year, and seeing how many of you also loved and remembered these, I decided we should bring the tradition back and make our own! I ordered everything needed from Amazon and was able to make a few different versions of these classic Halloween sweatshirts quickly and easily for me and JW! It was so fun and now I’m excited to do some for Christmas too.

Shop our Autumn Simmering Scent + Learn How to Make Your Own!

One of my favorite parts of fall is definitely all the wonderful cozy scents of the season! I’ve been making my signature “autumn simmering scent” for years since the very beginning of my blog and I always enjoy sharing it with you all each season! Each year I have added a few more ingredients and perfected my recipe a little more. This year I made my biggest batch yet so I could offer these online available for shipping (shop below) and also available in store at the mercantile inside the Amsden. These are available in single serve small boxes or larger bags that you can break up into multiple uses. You can also keep this as a dried potpourri mix instead of simmering with water and just place in a bowl or jar!
