Bone Appetite!

Hey Guys!


I think I'm finally running out of Halloween crafts, phew, I've got enough now to fill the house. 


But here's a little something I made for my guest post at Lolly Jane on Wednesday past!

Bone Appetite


I have seen so many versions of skeleton's on plates this year and I love how it looks, so spooky for that table top or mantle decoration.

Here is what I started with.

A Dora plastic plate.
2 packages of skeleton pieces.
A small glass candlestick .
A glass cloche.
Halloween tule & mini bats for embellishment.
Black spray paint.




This is so easy it's ridiculous.
  • I took that little Dora plate and gave it a couple coats of black spray paint, so much better now!
  • I hot glued the plate to the glass candlestick.
  • I dumped the bones onto the plate.
  • I covered it with the glass cloche.
  • I attached the mini bats to the glass cloche with double sided tape.
  • I tied a bow around the knob of the glass cloche with the Halloween tule.

Done.



I am embarrassed at how easy this was to make so I also made something else that's equally so easy it's ridiculous.



See these candle sticks? Drab and just plain ugly. My Mom picked them up for real cheap knowing that I would turn them into something fab.

A little silver spray paint and black candle sticks and these puppies look stupendous next to my bone thingy.


Well, I just might put some Christmas candles in them at Christmas time too - silver is so multifunctional isn't it?
