Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say, HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!!! Whoever you're voting for, I don't care. I still like you.
So today, I worked my fingers to the bone. Actually... No I didn't.. I just made a set of Christmas Ornaments. I'm happy with them. I hope someone else will be, too.
So, what do you think? I think they're charming. These were actually plain white skulls from Walmart, in the Halloween section. They came in a bag of like 17 I think.. I am keeping the other.. I figured, out of all the ornaments I'm making, I might as well keep some for myself. These are available in my Etsy Shop.
Here's how I made them..
I cleaned them with soap and warm water, washed all of the whatevers were on them. Once they dried, I spray painted them with gold metallic paint, let them dry, and hit them again. I took these little tiny screw eye hook things and screwed them in the bottom of each skull, behind the jaw line.
I hit them with gold paint again. Then i started the fun part.. Making the little felt hats! I cut out three red felt circles, cut them in half, sewed the straight edge together. made a little teepee. I took the bakers twine, tied a knot in the end, then sewed it to the inside of the hat, making sure to pull the string to where it would come out the of the top, on the outside. So then i sewed on a little black pom pom and glued it to the skull. Once i got that done, I took more bakers twine, tied little bells to the screwed in eye hook things on the bottom. Then i made some clown collars. I just used a fat quarter, and cut six equal strips, folded them in half inside out, then sewed that closed, leaving the ends opened. I turned it right side out, sewed down along the seam, to flatten it out. Then I sewed the ends together to close it up. I basted along the same seam, and gathered it up, then I pulled the bell through the center, and glued the collar on to the bottom of the skull. Whew! That's what I did! So, if you don't want to do this, and don't have the skulls. I have them already done! Go check them out!
Thanks for reading, everyone! I appreciate the traffic! It makes me happy to know that someone, ANYONE is out there reading my nonsense.
Remember, the election is ALMOST over. Just a few more hours.. Be nice.
