Moss Monster Mansion Craft

The Moss Monster!! 

They are the new inhabitants of a spooky Victorian mansion I found at a yard sale this past spring. Here's the mansion:

 Spookiness, eh?? I adore it. I think it's meant for little porcelain trinkets, but I am not a little porcelain trinket kind o' woman. I appreciate things a little more wild. A little more funky. And...a little more....

Moss Monstery!!!!

Yaaaaaa!! 

Wanna make some of these?? They are super doopery easy.

You need:

wooden bead (with single hole through it)

reindeer moss

hot glue

green floral wire

black eyed peas

~Thread two pieces of wire through the wooden bead, one for the top half of the body (the arms) and one for the bottom half (the legs). I looped them through twice to get them to stay for the moment.

~Hot glue the wires into place by squirting some right into both sides of the hole. 

~Hot glue the reindeer moss on.

~Take two black eyed peas for eyes and hot glue them on as well.

Done!!

 Told ya. Easy.

Skeleton Family Tape Resist

I'm at it again with the heavy duty tape, this time the electrical. Like my Skeleton Family?? SOOOOO easy to do. Here's the drift:

White cardboard

Black paint

Electrical tape

Black Paper Twists

Hot glue

Dowel

~Take the tape and, using thin pieces (you'll have to tear it), make a black skeleton on the white cardboard. I made a whole family, including the cat and dog. :-) 

~Paint the whole thing black. You can go over the tape, it will resist the paint. 

~Once dry, you can lightly scrape off the tape and you'll have a skeleton looking back at you. 

~Take a wooden dowel and wrap it with the paper twist, securing it with the hot glue. I also made two little paper twist rosettes for either end of the dowel. 

~Hot glue the pictures into place on the dowel. Once cool, put that baby up on the wall somewhere!!

Simple, right?? This is a good craft for kiddos and adults alike.
