Hello Crafting Chicks friends! My name is Kristen Duke, and though I blog mostly about my photography and how to Say NO to Auto, I am slightly obsessed with all things crafty as well.
I was pleased when the Crafting Chicks asked if I’d share an idea on here.
So I’ve had these two items for a while, and just knew they could be used for something, I just wasn’t sure what…
I took a phone pic of them and sent it to my crafty friend, Lorie at Be Different…Act Normal because I knew she’d have an idea (and because she’s AWESOME at getting back to me quickly). Immediately she said, “spray paint ’em and make them Halloween guys.” I knew spray paint would be involved orginally, but I loved the idea of making them into a pumpkin, mummy, spider, and bat. So that’s what I did…The mummy was tough because I didn’t want it to look like a snowman. I started with this situation:
Then ended up wrapping some fluffy white yarn around it. Not a whole lot of explanation goes into this craft: spray paint, googly eyes and a little paper for wings/stem.
I them plopped them on my piano next to my Haunted Houses, and voila! Hehee, there I am in the mirror…using my flash late at night…;)
Super simple! I’d love for you to come say hello on my site, Kristen Duke Photography, or even join me on facebook where I have lots of fun discussions as well as Freebie Fridays!
