BeWitching Shadowbox

It all started with this little mdf dress..
Pin It 
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!

Witchy Shoes

They say "If the Shoe fits.. Wear it!"
Pin It
 
and I for one would totally rock these funky boots if I was a witch!
Want to make a set of these fun and funky witch shoes?  Here's how!
Ingredients
Witch shoes
Wood Block
Scrapbook paper
Paint
Mod Podge 
Chipboard letters
Hot glue gun
Start by painting your shoes black or some other witchtastic shade.
While your paint is drying you can get started on your block.
Cut your scrapbook paper to size and Mod Podge it.
Once dry paint the edges black.
Then add a cute vintage witch to the side. 
Now it's time to make those witchy boots funky 
with Mod Podge and lots of scrapbook paper in different patterns and colors.
Then EVERY good witch needs a little glam.. so I made these fun flowers!
You can create them by tracing a circle,
cutting it out and then rolling it into a flower.
Now add your flower to your boots.
Hot glue your letters to your handy dandy block.
Glue it all together...
And stand back and 
Admire your handy work!
p.s. I made this sign last year with the same witchy shoe.. but totally different!
Happy Haunting!

Altered Art: Halloween Jars

Halloween Jars
Pin It
Hey Pink Hippo Followers!  After a 3 month hiatus I've decided to bring blogging back to Pinkapotamus!
Hi!

This is my spooky skeleton in a jar.. and he's soo easy to create.  Want to try?
Ingredients
Empty jar
Halloween Scrapbook paper
Mod Podge
Paper Skeleton
Tulle
Ribbon
Key
Start by putting your skeleton in the jar with some tulle behind him.  Makes him look spooky and the jar has a smoky effect.
Add the key around the cork.
Next add some Mod Podge to your Scrapbook paper 
and glue it to your jar.
Then of course, he just had to have a few friends.... like these lovely bug specimens
and some skeletons.
Then I put them together to create a Halloween centerpiece. 
Happy Haunting!
I am sharing with these fun parties~
