I love Pinterest. I spend way too much time there. It is absolutely amazing what you find, and what ideas it sparks. I saw a couple of things, and got some ideas...this is what my twisted brain came up with for Halloween!!! You all know it is my favorite holiday, right?!
Anyway, I got the foam skulls at Michael's, along with the wooden candlesticks. I painted the candlesticks black. While they were drying I got a battery operated tea light, marked where I wanted them to go, and carved holes for them in the skull. Then I got some red acrylic paint and drizzled and dripped it all over the skulls. When the whole mess was dry, I hot glued the sticks into the base of the foam skulls.
TAA DAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love them!! I think on Halloween night, these little greeters are going to be on my porch! BWAHAHAHAHA!!
Then I made this, sparked also by an idea I saw on Pinterest.
I made this coffin out of foam core, painted and distressed, added embellishments...and you are wondering just what it is...I mean, does it have a function or is it just a pretty...
I needed a Kleenex box for my haunted bathroom!!!! I family sized box fits neatly inside! I used embellies from Momenta, Petaloo, Kaiser Kraft and Jolee's. When I showed these to my husband, he just shook his head. HAHA! I can't wait for October 1st, the start of Halloween Season!
Here is a list of the links that spawned my creative play:
