My latest things are these really cute, pretty small Hallowe'en shrines. I used the Halloween Countdown kit (it includes the shrine with a sweet kitty perched on a pumpkin) and two other shrines from Alpha Stamps to make a trio of festive fun. The overall size of the largest shrine is not quite 6" tall, so small enough to finish a couple of them in an afternoon.
I used vintage images from several collage sheets for the sides and back. Look at those pumpkin faces!
The inside of the shrines are 2" x 2", perfect for a pile of mini pumpkins, a polymer clay candy corn, or how about a zombie arm? Ooooh, zombie arm...
I simply painted the shrines black, papered them, added glitter, and tucked a pipe cleaner critter inside the shrine.
After painting, I glued on a square of paper that fit along the top edge of the shrine front.
The front was flipped over and the excess paper on the edges and the center was trimmed off.
Here's the fun part: GLITTER! The pumpkin was painted orange, covered in glue, then a pile of Pumpkin Orange Fine Iridescent Glitter was dumped on top. So shiny.
The inside of each shrine was decorated with a black spiderweb paper, then a gathered circle of glittery orange tulle was stuffed in there, and finally my little pipe cleaner dudes were glued in place. I had a few old wooden letters in the stash (the letters for BOO and EEK were long gone) but fortunately I found FUN, painted them orange, and added them to the shrines.
I'm gonna go grab a bowl of Count Chocula and think about more Hallowe'en things.
