So the challenge was cone shape decorations for Halloween….. And Well I love mine … Had some help from my grand daughter Elizabeth, she tore the napkins and cut the paper for the shingles witch is another project… LOL… so We have been very busy creating the halloween fun …
started off with poster board type paper and made cones. then used our great glue recipe .. which is below……
Step 1:Squirt 3/4 cup of Elmer’s white glue into a measuring cup.
Step 2:Add 1/4 cup of water to the Elmer’s glue in the measuring cup. Alter the measurements to make the amount of decoupage medium that you need for your project. The ratio of glue to water is always three parts Elmer’s glue to one part water.
tear paper napkins in strips add the glue mixture with a sponge brush. layering all around to give the cones strength. paint the colors in sections add the fluffy fur for hat rims.orange for the pumpkin man, green for the witch don’t forget to give her a cone nose…… and of COURSE MR. SKELETON!!!!!!!!!!
THOSE BONES THOSE BONES!!!!!!
OH SUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enjoy your Halloweennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!
I am practicing, painting faces its a paint over the face lesson to learn where and how to paint the eyes and nose ect. in the correct areas and it also help s you to notice where the shading goes. I really like how this is going. and hope to do more of this type of painting.
Not to sure where I am going with this one but its in the Halloween booklet… so need to think more any ideas? lov to know what you think, I should do….
I have discovered paper mache , I made this hat out of a paper plate and then added strips of napkins and mod podge, and layered it also used strips and made paper balls and shaped them into pumpkins, by using extra layers and placing to look like the pumpkin layers. I used pipe cleaners for the spider. I then mod podge string and glued to form the spider web. and then added glitter . this was great fun working on this project with My grandson, He thinks the spiders are real scarrrrrry…….
I did the witches head and body with paper mache, as I don’t have paper clay as of yet.
OH SO WICKED!
I made the cat with card board base and paper mache he forever, I have some photos of the long process of the cat and will post it another day. My first project of this type. I really loved doing this one, And I like the wicked witch look also, but I really wanted to make the eyes closed and painted so I made another but different . …
this one so a lot of fun… love how the broom turned out. All the hats around the base have M&M’S
in them ready for my grandchildren yes there are 4…..her dress has glitter and her black veil. BAAHAAAHAAA HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
foam board grave stones.. cut your foam to shape you want. I use a craft knife. a tip is to heat your knife with your heat gun it cuts easy-ier. I used grey stone paint and flicked some black paint for spots to it. then I used Green paint to give the moss look to it and some vintage brown shoe polish to give it a dirty look. Draw a black bird or crow on sytro foam then cut out. and glue to top. I used fabri tac , only because most glues melted the styrofoam who would have guessed.
oh these are endless on ideas, so many ideas… and options… You know they arent just for christmas ,LOL. love making these cones fabric or paper…. I added fabric lace to the paper cones… fun, fun,fun. Is it halloween yet?
or if you need to have something Flameless, like me…. heres my verison…
