DIY Halloween Trampoline Costumes: Springfree Trampoline

Do you love Halloween as much as we do? Halloween is almost here and this season offers a chance to get creative with decorative projects around the house. Besides the obvious, why not go above and beyond by making a decoration out of your Springfree trampoline. Here are some of our ideas that you can use this Halloween.

Trampoline Ghost

  • 2 large white flat sheets
  • 1 package white pipe cleaners
  • Black duct tape
  • Scissors
  1. Take a corner of the sheet and bunch together about 1 inch of fabric. Twist the center of the pipe cleaner around it
  2. Thread the pipe cleaner through the enclosure net, around the enclosure rod to the right of the trampoline door, and twist to secure.
  3. Repeat Step 1 & 2 above each enclosure rod
  4. Using the 2nd sheet complete steps 1-3 moving right around the trampoline
  5. Take the bottom corners of the sheets, bunch together about 1 inch of fabric and twist the center of the pipe cleaner around it.
  6. Pull the sheet tight and wrap the pipe cleaner around the frame of the trampoline.
  7. Using the black duct tape create a ghost face and stick it to the white sheet. Be sure to press firmly to make sure it is stuck. Also for a cool affect at night place a lamp in the center of the trampoline so your ghost will glow!

Make it a creative night with pumpkin pals

  • Foam pumpkins
  • Pumpkin carving kits
  • Pumpkin decorating kits
  • All-purpose glue

Make some festive pumpkin pals to join inside your tent with you. For a reasonable place, go to your local value store and purchase foam pumpkins.

Make some wings to fly around with

  • 1 1/2 yard black fabric
  • 6 inches of 1/8 inch elastic (any color)
  • Headband

Trick or Treat Safety with the Southlake Community

Halloween is just around the corner and so are all those monsters and ghouls! To make sure your little monsters stay safe in our Southlake community, here are a few tips on trick or treat safety.

Plan Your Route

Whether you’re extremely familiar with the Southlake community or not, it’s always a good idea to plan your route before heading out for all the goodies. You can plan your route to be just around your house, or maybe you’re going to get in the car and drive to the neighborhood that has houses that look like they’re straight out of Halloweentown. Regardless of where you’re trick or treating, it’s best to plan your route.

Keep Masks Up

Masks may be a fun, extra piece of your kid’s costume, but when you’re going house to house, it’s best to either rest the mask on their head or simply leave it at home. The mask may complete their costume, but those eye holes will severely limit their peripheral vision, which can be extremely dangerous when crossing the street or simply not bumping into other little monsters on the side walk.

Make Sure You’re Visible

While Halloween may be a time when we dress in dark and scary costumes, you still want to make sure that you can be seen. Halloween is a great holiday, but it can also be a time when accidents spike. To make sure that you’re visible, add reflective tape to your child’s costume and carry a flashlight. While the Southlake community is normally a very safe place for pedestrians, you can never be too safe.

Check Your Child’s Candy

Last up on our list in trick or treat safety 101. You should ALWAYS check your child’s candy. It’s sad that we’re in a society where you have to do it, but it’s a very easy and doesn’t take that much time. Regardless of whether you got your candy at a church’s fall festival, a shopping center’s trunk or treat or by the old fashioned house to house approach, you should always check your child’s candy!

We hope you have a great Halloween in our Southlake community and that you use these trick or treat safety tips to make it as safe as it is fun.

Fall Wines with Coal Vines Pizza

When it comes to fall wines, there are just so many great ones out there that it can be hard to know which ones to try. That’s why Coal Vines Pizza has paired with Shops of Southlake to bring you this list of great fall wines.

2013 Fontanafredda Langhe Nebbiolo

Starting off our list, this red wine is an exceptional wine for early fall. With a fruity complexity and depth, you’ll be surprised at how truly light this amazing wine is. While we chose to highlight the 2013 bottling because of its classic floral rosy notes coupled with tart cherry and a bit of spice, most bottlings of this Nebbiolo will be exquisite.

2014 Borsao Campo de Borja Garnacha

While the Borsao Campo de Borja Garnacha isn’t as light as most red wines, it drinks easy, especially when slightly chilled. The tannins on this fall wine is modest and wasn’t aged in an oak barrel, which means this soft, medium-bodied wine goes down smooth with a cherry-bright fruit flavor.

2014 Cave de Lugny Macon-Lugny “Les Charmes”

So those first two fall wines may have been great red wines, this wine from Macon-Lugny is an exception white burgundy wine. Fresh and citrusy with a wisp of sweetness over notes of apricot and stone fruit, it’s balanced out by a racy little bit of spice and refreshing acidity. It’s the perfect wine to have at the end of a long fall day.

For more great fall wines and delicious pasta, which is the best thing to eat with wine, come to Coal Vines Pizza and Wine Bar at the Shops of Southlake! We have dozens and dozens of exceptional wines from around the world.

Fall Hair Color and Cuts with Glen Alan Salon

Fall is here, and now is the perfect time to head to Glen Alan Salon to get your new fall hair color. Here are some of our top fall hair color picks that you could get at our Southlake hair salon at the Shops of Southlake.

Slate Gray

While fall may be a season known for its deep, rich colors, when it comes to your hair color, a cool shade of gray is just what the stylist ordered! Not only will this slightly muted tone make you look sleek, but it’ll also provide a brilliant contrast to the vibrant colors of fall. If you have extra-voluminous hair, then this color is highly recommended!

Ruby Red

Now if you love those deep, rich colors of the new season, then the ruby red fall hair color should be on the top of your list. For the best appearance, Glen Alan Salon suggests that you also curl your hair for an even more bold and defined hair style. The great part about the ruby red color is that is can be easily pulled off with any hair length!

Cool Onyx

So close to black that most people can’t tell a difference unless in the right light, the cool onyx fall hair color is great for the professional woman who wants to maintain a dark, bold hair color while still slipping in some style. The best look for this fall hair color is to stick with a slick, straight look.

Alchemic Gold

They say blondes have more fun, but what about golds? Taking a natural hair color up a notch or two, the alchemic gold color hinders on using a creamy beige toner that isn’t too warm or too cold. With this striking and beautifully bright fall hair color, everyone will be talking about how your hair just looks magical.

If you’re ready to get your fresh fall hair color, come to Glen Alan Salon for the best Southlake hair salon experience. Schedule your hair coloring appointment at Glen Alan Salon today.
