Day 11 of the
Crafting Over Sweeting Challenge
as you know was yesterday, and there's actually not to much to report so I'll keep it short.
Sweets eaten: None
Sweets craved: My Mom's cheesecake... it's A-MAZING.
It's like light, fluffy bits of heaven that melt in your mouth... Mmmmm.
The day 11 featured Halloween craft is:
I really do love these pumpkins. They are super easy to make,
and who doesn't love spray painting?
I will admit though, it has been one of THOSE crafting days. I've been through various versions and designs before I landed on this one. Lots of painting... lots and lots. This is the best one out of the bunch (I know... there's a smudge on the "O". Can we just imagine it away this once??).
Then the day ended with a puffy paint debacle that almost brought me to tears, but we'll save that for later.
Even through all of that, I am still really excited about the end result!
For this craft you will need:
Cupcake Wrappers
*who knew they could be so versatile?*
Pumpkins
*as many as you wish*
Spray paint of choice
*Mine is metallic bronze by Rustoleum*
Spray Adhesive
*Prepare ventilation people!*
Letters, shapes or phrase of your choice
*Bats, skulls, "SPOOKY", really whatever floats your creative boat.*
Take 3 cupcake wrappers and attach just 2 together,
then spray the backs with your spray adhesive.
Attach the last link (to form a circle) and stick onto the top of your pumpkin.
**Press firmly all around and make sure nothing is sticking up.**
Spray then attach any shapes or phrases.
Spray paint!
**My most favoritest part :)**
Carefully remove the attached items of awesomness and...
Oooh!
I totally want to make some more of these. Practice makes perfect, and I know these are SO worth it!
Happy Crafting!

Oh yeah, the puffy paint incident. Well, here is the pumpkin in question:
Now this was sitting on our kitchen counter drying and my three year old found it. We now have to repaint half of our front room and two-thirds of our dining room. I'll just let your imaginations run wild to figure out how THAT happened.

That is a cool! Love the details it creates.
ReplyDeleteI would love if you can link it up to my weekly party @ http://www.jaqsstudio.com/2011/10/made-by-me-2-and-last-weeks-link.htmlQ
Thanks Q! The really great thing about cupcake wrappers is there are so many designs to choose from, you could really do a lot of fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteI would love to link up! Thanks for introducing me to your blog, it has some really great tutorials
(found ya on a link party)
ReplyDeleteI havent seen those cupcake wrappers before.. where did you get them from? The pumpkins turned out great!
Thanks for visiting Kelly! I got these cupcake wrappers from Wal-mart in their Halloween section. They also had some with a spiderweb design that I loved! You can also find cupcake wrappers in the cake decorating section of most crafting stores.
