Johanna Parker Design Halloween Glitter House

 Hello Hallozween Readers and all you Spooky Crafters!!

I'm very excited about this collaboration because I really LOVE Putz houses. To be honest, I love Anything covered in Glitter! Little tiny, festive houses covered in glitter are even better. Halloween tiny houses covered in glitter and using Johanna Parker Design patterns are the VERY BEST!!!

Halloween Shadow Box Ornaments

 Hello Hallozween Readers and All Spooky Crafters!!

Who doesn't love those Vintage Halloween Cards? Black cats and pumpkins abound. I've made a small collection of Vintage Halloween cards that are in the public domain and free to use for personal use. Download the collection  HERE 


Print out the Vintage Collection on photo paper
You will also need
Scissors
Black Cardstock 
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
PVA (school) Glue
Old paint brush that you don't mind dipping in glue
Scissors
Glitter
Ribbon
An assortment of festive buttons and mini bottle brush trees (I found a bunch on Amazon and Ebay)

Cut out the Vintage Halloween Card images. Cut a piece of black cardstock that is about 1.5cms (1/2 inch) bigger around than the vintage image. Make a diagonal cut at each corner. 

    Fold the corners in and make the black card stock into a little box shape.

Hot Glue the vintage image into place. 
Pop a drop of hot glue on the outside flap of each corner.

Then secure each side in place. 

Repeat this until you have all of your images in little shadow boxes.

Gather up your glitter and PVA Glue

Brush the glue on the edge of the Shadow Box then sprinkle on the glitter.

After the glue and glitter has dried a bit, gather up your festive buttons.

Hot glue your buttons anywhere that strikes your fancy in and around the shadow box.

Pop a piece of ribbon on the top corners of the shadow box with hot glue.


Finished!! Your Vintage Halloween Shadow Box is ready to hang on your Halloween Tree!!
