Wrapping Up a Night of WitchCRAFT. I love a good crafting party, don’t you? And a Night of WitchCRAFT was just what I needed. It was so fun to meet a few new Seattlites, seeing a few old friends, and getting our DIY on!! Here’s a few pics from our night of witchy craft. It was held at the lovely Trophy Cupcakes located north of Seattle. They have the perfect party room, complete with amazingly colorful tissue paper pom poms. Along with a few tiers of cupcakes… vanilla, chocolate, and apple caramel! Working with my partner, Lyndsey of The Stationary Place, was perfect. Now onto the good stuff… the crafts. First up was a lovely Halloween Felt Wreath. We had to have good ol’ Scrabble Tile Necklaces, Halloween style.
There were Stitched Spider Cards. We also had Typography Pumpkins, with tutorial by Font Crafts. Everyone made a Pipe Cleaner Spider as well. And last, we also crafted Glitter Spider Rings. There were 20 wonderful women who came, crafted, and cupcaked. Tagged as: Halloween, halloween crafts, pumpkins, spiders. Untitled. DIY: Make your own Halloween dinnerware. So now you've seen my interpretation of a Raven themed dinner party, I wanted to show you how I made the dinnerware. If you are like me you probably oogle over the holiday themed dishes but quickly shy away since you don't want to shell out for a whole set just for one celebration. (I don't even have real china so I think its safe to say I won't be buying any themed kind either) So when this idea of making my own for next to nothing came to mind, I just had to try it. Obviously this interpretation is quite macabre but you could totally mix it up to make it your own - think nursery rhymes for baby showers, holiday song lyrics for christmas, bible passages for easter, dirty doodles for hen nights...
I could go on and on. Start off with plain white plates of your choosing (available cheaply everywhere), a porcelain 150 pen, some blue masking tape and a small stencil (optional). Now on to the little plate. I added the 'nevermore...' under the bird and the hard work was over. Quick and Dirty Corpses. HOWTO make a terrifying specimen jar. Whoops I Think I Broke It has a quick HOWTO for making your own glowing, mysterious, revolting specimen jar filled with little bits of ick from the Elder Gods' plane of existence: Now all we need is a "thing" Here I've taken scraps of clay, wire, foil, wood bits, hot glue, and a cork to shape out the "thing". Basically I just took anything that was lying around on the floor of my workshop and fashioned it into whatever you'd call this shape. Weird but not very menacing. I then cover the thing in a mixture of liquid latex and coffee grinds (for texture).
