"I make these Cute Halloween figures out of skulls I ordered off the internet without checking the descriptions. When they arrive they were smaller than I expected, so they became these table decor figures. The bodies are shot glasses that have been decorated using mixed media. I made them some top hats from empty toilet rolls. To make them look more cute than scary I used some beads to make them some eyes. To finish them off I decorated them using gesso and bronze wax paste. "

Instructions

  1. Paint the glasses using black gesso primer.

  2. Glue the skulls onto the top using a hot glue gun.

  3. I made top hats from the tube of an empty toilet roll and carboard

  4. The hats were painted and decorated.

  5. The shot glasses were decorated using self-adhesive rhinestones and broken jewellery.

  6. The pockets were cardboard cut to shape.

  7. To get the bronze colour over the black. I used bronze wax paste that I applied using my finger to the surface area of the glass. Don't fill in all the nooks and crannies with the bronze paste or the effects will be lost.

  8. To give them a softer look I made some eyes. I did not have enough for them all. The beads were painted white then sharpie was used to add the detail of the pupil and veins in the eyes.

  9. I used offcuts of fabric the make the scarves and added some spiders for special effect.
