Caroline’s Craft Corner: Spooky Season Crafting
Halloween is around the corner and spooky crafts are back in full force. For this edition of the Craft Corner I have two new projects to make for some frightening furnishings around any haunted home to celebrate the spooky season.
Ghost Page Garland
Materials:
- Twine
- Mini close pins
- Book pages
- Black marker
- Scissors
- Pencil
Steps:
- Trace a ghost outline, google images of ghost stencils as references.
- With the scissors, cut out the ghosts.
- Using the marker, draw on two black eyes towards the top of all ghosts.
- Lastly, secure all ghosts to the twine with the close pins.
Haunted Rocks
Materials:
- Smooth rocks
- Acrylic paint (colors vary depending on design)
- Assorted paint brush sizes
- Modge Podge (optional sealant)
Steps:
- Clean off all rocks with warm water and dry.
- Using the paint, coat rocks in the desired base color with a paintbrush.
- Once the base coat has dried, apply more paint in the same color as needed.
- With a smaller brush, add smaller details; faces, leaves, accessories or stripes are some examples.
- Optional: Coat the whole rock once the paint has dried in clear ModgePodge to help protect the designs.
Happy Crafting & Happy Halloween!
