Bleak Boo-quet!

Here is a boo-quet I made. I used a Styrofoam pumpkin from The Dollar Tree and spray painted it glossy black. Then I sprayed it with Easy Tack and glittered it with MS Black Glitter. I then took brown coffee filters, folded in half twice then inked the edges black. I took a 12" bamboo skewer and inked it black as well. I twisted the bottom of the coffee filter and spread it out to make a flower and attached to the skewer using wire, then poked it into the pumpkin and tied a small ribbon around it and hot glued the skewer into the pumpkin.



Glued a skull into the middle of the middle flower.


Cut out a tag from Echo Park Apothecary Emporium Paper and used Scrappy Mom's Stamps Betwitched stamp set. I used Trendy Twine's Halloween Twine to wrap the skewer and place a bow on it.

 I hope you like this, I enjoyed doing it and will see black glitter for weeks I'm sure! :)

Happy crafting everyone!



Halloween Wreath

So today I thought I would take time out of my busy "work" schedule and post something that has absolutely nothing to do with SVG's! :)

I saw a photo of a Halloween monster wreath in a small magazine at the checkout counter in Michael's a few months back. It is so adorable and I thought the kids would love it. It took me awhile to get my supplies since NO ONE within 40 miles of me sold rolled paper ribbon. I found an online store that is right next to hubby's work and sent him on his way. I decided to buy a few colors instead of just the "pumpkin" color since they are reasonably priced and far away from me.

I purchased the straw wreath at Michaels for $2.49 using my 40% off coupon. The paper ribbon cost about $2.50, the green fun fur was $4.99, but I used my coupon at Jo-Anns and saved 40%, and the assorted googley eyes I found at The Dollar Tree, so they were only $1. This was a fun project and fairly inexpensive. My carpel tunnel did not like this project as you have to unroll the paper ribbon.

Here is the first wreath.


I just love the way he looks, I do wish I added more green fun fur tho!

I have a double door entry to my beautiful home and I normally do matching wreaths but I wanted to make a different wreath for the other door. Very similar and the cost was exactly the same. Instead of purchasing googley eyes from The Dollar Tree I purchased a spiderweb.




Thanks for looking and I hope you have a fabulous crafty day! :)

Bat Wings, Toads Lips, and Eyes of Newt

Hello everyone. I decided to do a design team project today. I really enjoyed doing this project and think you will have fun if you decide to make some for yourself!



I created witches wands. I used a 1/4 inch dowell and cut it into three 12" pieces. I took the Rosette and Spider Web Rosette from the banner in the Happy Haunt Party Kit. I used DCWV midnight spell paper stack and used Celebrate It ribbon to wrap the dowels, then twine from, The Twinery to wrap over the dowells.



I added some eye catching goodness to the tops of the wands using some orange ball trim, orange tulle, two buttons and a googly eye from the Bo Bunny Boo Button collection. I then dangled a felt bat from Halloween Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique. I inked all edges using my black colorbox ink. I added the spider from the Happy Haunt collection to the center of one of the webs.



This spider web rosette is reversible and looks great either way you decide to fold it.
