I was able to reuse the paper mice I purchased at Michael’s last year. I mean, seriously? These are awesome.
In five minutes, I had this. (As an aside, the railing was installed during my pregnancy, when I slipped down all the stairs ON MY BACK. Yeah. That banister was up the following day. Thank goodness Henry and I were okay. Now, I just need to get around to staining it.)
I’m usually not much of a Halloween decorator. But these are just too cool to pass up.
Happy Weekend!

Love this idea! I wish I could do this but we don’t have any stairs…well we do in our basement, but it’s dusty and yucky down there.

OOh, I have those too – did more by tracing the original mice and cutting them off black cardboard paper! I have them in my stairs last year and this year too! I have them here if you wanna see …http://buhayatbahay.blogspot.com/2011/10/home-halloween-decor-for-2011.html 🙂

The only time mice are cute… Love these! Makes me wish we had stairs.
Caroline says
Very cute! I suppose it’s too much to hope that they frighten away real mice? *sigh*
Katy says
Too cute!

Mrs. Adventure says
Very cute! Last year I cut out ‘hanging bats’ out of black paper and hung then under the fireplace mantel. Oh how I miss having a fireplace… :o)
Gabbi @ Retro Ranch Reno says
So cute…I love your staircase! I wish I had a pretty one. Mine is EMBARRASSINGLY ugly and leads down to our outdated basement. One day, maybe I’ll have cute steps too! 🙂
Mrs. Chic says
I love those little mice they look so cool & real on your stair case!! I want to build a staircase to nowhere, just so I can have some mice too 🙂 lol
Mrs. 5C says
LOVE these. I always think they’re awesome in other people’s houses. I KNOW they’d make me jump every time I saw them out of the corner of my eye if they were in my house. 😉
