DIY Halloween Figures
"I make these Cute Halloween figures out of skulls I ordered off the internet without checking the descriptions. When they arrive they were smaller than I expected, so they became these table decor figures. The bodies are shot glasses that have been decorated using mixed media. I made them some top hats from empty toilet rolls. To make them look more cute than scary I used some beads to make them some eyes. To finish them off I decorated them using gesso and bronze wax paste. "
Instructions
-
Paint the glasses using black gesso primer.
-
Glue the skulls onto the top using a hot glue gun.
-
I made top hats from the tube of an empty toilet roll and carboard
-
The hats were painted and decorated.
-
The shot glasses were decorated using self-adhesive rhinestones and broken jewellery.
-
The pockets were cardboard cut to shape.
-
To get the bronze colour over the black. I used bronze wax paste that I applied using my finger to the surface area of the glass. Don't fill in all the nooks and crannies with the bronze paste or the effects will be lost.
-
To give them a softer look I made some eyes. I did not have enough for them all. The beads were painted white then sharpie was used to add the detail of the pupil and veins in the eyes.
-
I used offcuts of fabric the make the scarves and added some spiders for special effect.
