Trick or Treat

We are out having fun. Kaelyn is Twilight Sparkle from my little pony and Aria ended up being a fairy, its cold lol.

Here's the pics!
Sorry they are side ways I'll fix when I get back from Trick or Treating. Joys of a cell phone update hehe!

Everyone have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Candle holders

Okay so finally got around to the old candle holder project. Here I had two old black candle holders that I hated and decided to repurpose them. I took antique acrylic paint and painted it then took a piece of sand paper and sanded it down getting the cornors and edges good so it looks old and faded and then took pictures I liked and cut them the size of the candle spot and place it in there real snug. That was it. I hung it on my wall and I love it. Seriously took me like 20 mins in all. Heres the pics!

Sorry my pictures are not very good. I'm hopefully get a new camera for Christmas and they will look a lot better!!

Glued!

Okay so I tired super glue, hot glue gun and ribbon to.make my horn and ears stick to the head band. Did not work! So I had to use more modeling clay to wrap it around the headband. Not the best but it works and my fingers are tired of being glued together. So FINALLY! Here is a pic of the headabnd its still drying but at least its staying. 

Fall

Well, I decided to decorate my mantle with fall decorations. I took twine and old wine bottles and a serving tray. Then fake flowers and weeds for my fillers and there we have it a cheap and easy way to give your sitting room a fall feel when sitting in front of the cozy fireplace. I also like pops of color so I used purple and splashes of yellow and orange as well as red, mostly fall colors but the purple and white make it more elegant.

Unicorn

Okay, so I made the horn and the ears.
Pretty easy actually. I bought Air Dry clay from Crayola and made two long horn shaped clay models and then twisted them around each other. I then added purple glitter. The clay was $3.97, & the glitter was $1.00 at Wal-mart. Then I made two ear shapes and they just air dry for 24 hours and they are hard. Next ill hot glue them to a purple head band for her to wear. The costume is coming together. Ill post pics when its all.done, and remeber this was all super cheap to make and she'll be able to play with is long after Halloween is over.

Flying Purple People Eater!

Okay so got the stuff for my daughter my little pony twilight sparkle costume. Do you know how hard it is to.find purples that MATCH! So hard! I had to search everywhere and I just couldnt do it so I matched them as well as I could. So I have finished painting the twilight sparkle design on the pants and made hoofs for her ands out of purple socks. I just cut a hole for the thumb. its starting to come together. My next goal is to.make.the unicorn horn and ears. Wish me luck.
Oh I applied glow and the dark paint to her design too so now its extra special for her when she's out trick or treating in the dark.

Shopping day!

Well today im going shopping for my daughters halloween costume stuff. I know little late but I have been down with the flu. Ill be getting myself back into gear here quickly. Okay ill post pics when its all done!

DONE!!

Another set of classes done! Yeah! Now I'm now to my last couple ones this end of the semester and all I have left is my Practicum and Internship! Wish me luck! It's been a long journey to here and I'm ready for it to be over.

However, the end of a full class load also means more time for me to do some projects. I have A LOT in mind so hopefully I can get to them soon and show you my pictures. I'll be updating soon so look for my new post! How to reuse old Candlelight holders that you have no use for anymore! This also means time for fall decorations and "Vigil of Samhain" or All Hollows Eve.

Have a Great October Everyone!!!!!!!

I'll also be posting my kids costumes that I'm making. Twilight Sparkle and her side kick Spike, if you know my Little Pony you'll understand!
