The DIY Home Decor pieces are large durable wooden shapes ready to be decorated as you please; 
paint them,  paper them,  stencil them, alter them, hang them, gift them.
  
Today I am featuring the new Creative Embellishments Wood Home Decor- Large Witch Hat.  While it's still summer,  we all know Halloween's gonna be racing toward us in a blink.  It's never too soon to think about creating fun Halloween decorations.  


Here are the chipboard and wood decor pieces used on the project: Creative Embellishments Wood Home Decor- Large Witch Hat , the spider web from Creative Embellishments - Halloween Scene 2 ( I saved the rest of the set to use on a different project),  and I used one of the cats from Creative Embellishments - Cat Set 2.  


The wooden shapes are large - perfectly sized for a wall, front door, decor grouping. Witch Hat is 11.5"w x 11.9"h leaving you plenty of surface area to decorate. 

The shape is smooth unfinished wood,  ready to finish.  No sanding needed.  I chose to paint mine with a base coat Dusty Concord  Distress Paint.  After the paint was dry, I used a sea sponge and dabbed a top coat of black acrylic paint - leaving some of the purple showing, sort of mottled.  


Below is a great image to show some of the other decorative details used. 
The top part of the hat was covered with black cheesecloth - for no other reason than added texture. Plus I really love black cheesecloth at Halloween. 

    I added a chipboard spider web from Creative Embellishment's Creative Embellishments - Halloween Scene 2.  Sorry it's so hard to see clearly - it was hard to photo.  It was painted black, then coated with Ranger Ink -Crackle Accents  for an eerie cracked effect.   It looks fabulous in person - but you'll just have to trust me on this. 

NOTE - Hat Band Shaker is a Special Request 
I altered the hat band to be a shaker.  This was a special request.  Typically the hat band is one piece.  I wanted two pieces to make a shaker.   
Creative Embellishments is great at trying to accommodate special requests if possible and reasonable. 

The shaker mix inside is a combination of buttons from Buttons Galore and More, plus some of their new Doo Dadz shaker mix.  

The cute tomb stone is a 3D button also from Buttons Galore 3D Buttons- Happy Hauntings pack - a cool finishing touch.   from  .
