I Can Breathe.....

My son is back

to his base in Italy

and no longer in 

Afghanistan

My thoughts

go to the mothers

fathers spouses and 

children of service 

men and women 

who are serving

Spooky Skeleton Vase

I got the inspiration 

for this project here

I had the vase 

and got the skeletons

from the Dollar Tree

they have glass vases as well

I had thought I would

need extra twine but didn't

First Take the skeletons off the 

twine and take the knots out

put a dab of glue on the back of the head

and attach to the vase

dip the twine end in the glue so it won't fray

attach it behind the back of the skeleton

take the twine

and wrap around the skeletons

do the same w the glue 

in the twine at the end
and tuck it under

I did a few twists

I had my hsb collect
some twigs 

I was going tp spray them black
but changed my mind

I kind of like the stark look of this

I added some gold jewels
 so the eyes glowed

I added some bats
they are foam stickers from
Michaels
I thought there
 were more black
ones in the bag

I had one skeleton
that had a leg missing so
you can see the
surprise at the bottom

Pumpkin-paloosa

Last year a friend

had made these 

and 

sold them

  I bought this one

I really liked them
 but wanted to

 put my twist on it

 I also bought 2 kids shirts

Once I started I couldn't stop
I paid btwn .50-1.00

I used twine I had on hand

and when I went to buy

brown twine

I found green

the tutorial is 

at Hummadeedledee Blog

On the arms I cut
them right under the pit
then in half

Turned them inside out
and placed 4 pieces of twine
(abt 24in long b=but will
depend on height of pumpkin)
folded in half

twist a rubber band around the end
hint: get cording in center

turn right side out

stuff

distribute the cords

gather at the top
and secure with rubberband

something I did differently
I wrapped the twine up the stem
while gluing it into place

I coiled the twine
and added it to the top
to make it look more finished
The one photo I forgot
to take!

I plan to sell these at craft festivals
and hopefully will be getting
 my esty store
open sometime soon......

Bet you can't make just one.....
