In comes The Dollar Store, next random stuff around the house ... and this is what you end up with ...
Collect needed supplies:- Bag of Skulls - Dollar Store
- Random pieces of fabric, varying textures
- Tea bags
- Needle and thread - I love the little sewing kits from hotels :)
- Glue (i used glue gun and Gorilla glue)
- Use tea bags to make dying solution
- Soak fabric in solution for varying amounts of time
- Allow fabric to dry
- Cut varying sizes
- Stack various fabrics on top of each other
- Bunch center, and bring to a point
- Sew pieces together and form the point
(I just did a quick cris cross over the top and
tied it off)
- Attach the head
- Add a little flare to separate the girl ghosts from
boys
Once everything dries you end up with this:
oh, what a great idea! i just bought a couple of those bags of skulls. somehow, that seems wrong typing that, lol! i don't think it's early-i've seen a few linkups about xmas. and mark my words, as soon as halloween is over these people will be all over xmas crafts!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe tea dying gives them just the right amount of color to make them look like very ancient ghosts, indeed! Thank you for joining us at A Crafty Soiree! I hope you'll come back next week and link up again!
