The Glittery Hands Box Sugar Skull Shaker Card

Hi all

I have a shaker card to share using the October box from The Glittery Hands. I used the sequins and papers that you receive with the box.

Cover card with orange paper.

Take a nesting die and place two different sized dies inside each other to create a frame.

Hold in place with washi tape.

Cut out 2 or 3 frames from craft foam depending on how thick it is.

Cut out a frame from the skull papers.

Now take the smaller die out and use the larger die to cut out 1 acetate and one patterned shape.

Glue the craft foam frames to the solid base and leave glue to dry.

Fill box with Halloween sequins and glue the acetate top on.

Once dry, glue on the patterned paper frame.

Glue box to card and decorate with paper flowers and small embellishments.

Cut a sentiment out of scrap craft foam and glue it down to finish.

Thank you for visiting.

The Glittery Hands Box Easy Halloween Tags

Hi all

Just sharing my makes from The Glittery Hands Box for October. I made these tags up using the skull die and tags that come with the kit.

Use the die cut to cut out skulls from different colours of craft foam. Pop out the pieces and swap them around to create different colour combinations.

Apply glue to the back of the skulls and glue onto the neon tags.

Add the sequins around the tag and add a sentiment.

Things to Alter Day of The Dead Shrines

Hi all

I made up a few shrines for Dias De Los Muritos using the MDF Shrines from Things to Alter. Day of the Dead is a Mexican celebration of those who have passed on and families will get together to remember them. They create shrines with gifts and food left out for their dead relatives and that is where the sugar skulls come from as these are made out of sugar and given either to Children or left on alters. 

We have a new group just for Things to Alter makes,Tutorials and crafty tips. Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1784251875124998/

I used a stencil mask and White Modeling Paste to create the embossed background. I then painted over the top in bright colours using Crafters  Acrylic.

I painted the flowers and sugar skull with white gesso before painting on the detail. Use gesso first to stop the paint soaking into the MDF

I then decorated the shrine with lots of flowers

I used gold Dazzling Metallic on the cross and coated it with gesso first

For this one i glued MDF flowers around the skull and decorated the frame with small resin flowers.

The last shrine is actually one of the coffin boxes that i painted up and added modeling paste to the lid. 

I used Metallic Lustre to add color to the flowers and layered them up.
