A Spooky Little Tutorial:
This project above, came from the magazine below.
On page 111.
As you can see, the two jars on the right came from Goodwill, but the third came from a half-off sale at Michael's.
I typed the word "Boo" in several fonts, but settled on this one which is called 'LD Type keys'.
I wanted the jars to look like they were on little pedestals, so I put them on glass candlestick holders. Also, I needed the candy corn to keep the papers in place.
Martha Stewart inspiration below...glitter up your skeleton heads for a more "bewitching" effect.
Next, I took a "Poison" label that I got from the "Graphics Fairy" and glued it onto an old bottle.
I got this idea (below) of putting the moon face on a clock from another Halloween magazine, but I can't remember which one.
Just a little poly stuffing in the glass to look like a foggy-brew of some sort.
Happy Haunting. : )M.L.
Hi Mary-Lou, Your Halloween banner is too cute. I have those tombstones too . . cute stuff for sure. This year I just couldn't get myself to making anything new . . no quite yet, still trying to get there again. Lots of Happy to you, Sandy:O)
ReplyDeleteML, You are incredibly and endlessly creative. I wish you were my mom. So what if I'm a tad older than you. That's a technicality.
ReplyDeleteIsn't his such a fun time of the year? It certainly looks like you are having fun decorating your home for Halloween. I am so into the CANDY CORN that my shape is starting to look like one:-)
