Upcycled HaLLOwEeN Tray

..  
Yes.. I know... Halloween is just a few days away.. I SHOULD be done creating items.. but I just can't help it... it's fun!

I found this sweet tray

 in a recycle store and just couldn't help but snatch it up for a whopping...

So I started to make it creepy with paint, Decoupage papers and Antique Mod Podge

I painted my tray black.

Then started Mod Podging my Skeleton.. cause the head bones connected to the

rib bones.. and the rib bones connected to the 

arm bones... and the arm bones connected to the hand bones..

and the hand bones connected to the POISON!.. oops.. 

and the jar of mice!.. Yikes

And of course he is.. all reconstructed!

Fun, CreEpY and Easy.. three of my favorite things!

I am sharing with these fun parties!

Happy Haunting,

Roadside Rescue: Sit a Spell Chair

I have been wanting to make one of these for awhile!

I made it from this old chair that the hubby grabbed for me as a roadside rescue!

I started by scuffing it up with a sanding square (with a little help from my puppy)

Next I gave it a coat of crackle finish.

Once it was dry I added my vinyl pieces.

Then I painted it all up with orange

Gray

And black.

Then I peeled off my vinyl,

And then I wrapped it in webbing and set it up outside....

So what do you say?  Want to sit a spell?


Love,

BeWitching Shadowbox

It all started with this little mdf dress..

 

that became this witchy dress...

that wouldn't have been complete without a pointed hat...

which needed to put away neatly in a closet...

that housed the little dress perfectly!

And somehow it all seemed to match with my Halloween display~

It's soo Bewitching!

Happy Haunted Crafting!
