Halloween DIY Witch Hat Decor - Buttons Galore

 





 Halloween  Witch Hat Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

 I love creating holiday home decor to freshen up the house at Halloween. 

My piece today is a wooden witches hat decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.  

What are Half Pearlz?  They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls.  The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.



After painting the hat with black acrylic paint, it looked a bit flat when it dried so I added texture with a  bubble stencil and gloss gel medium (Ranger Ink - Multi Medium - Gloss which dries glossy - and    The Crafter's Workshop - Random Bubbles stencil ).

The gel medium is a great adhesive gel also so I added the Buttons Galore Half Pearlz to the hat while the gel was still wet. It's a great permanent bonding medium. Glue woks fine as well, but the gel medium was easy and convenient.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore.  In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some  3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316 and the 3D Buttons - Bats.




 The wood witch hat is from Foundations decor.

DIY Halloween Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern Home Decor - Buttons Galore

 



 Halloween Pumpkin Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

 It's almost time to decorate the home with Halloween fun.  Why not create something new to freshen up your holiday collection? 

My piece today is a wooden jack-o-lantern decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.  

What are Half Pearlz?  They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls.  The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.


I painted the jack-o-lantern wood figure and twisted green wire to create vine tendrils.  After the paint is dry, I'll wrap the vines around the wood stem to secure in place. 





The Buttons Galore Half Pearlz are super easy to glue to surfaces however when I'm creating home decor, I prefer to adhere embellishments with a clear matte gel medium like The Crafter's Workshop - Gel Medium - Matte .   It's easy to use and is a permanent bonding medium - unlike hot glue which loses it's bond over time.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore.  In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some  3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316.

Popsicle Chill Summer Shaker Card - Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set


Time to chill and enjoy summer.  I'm pulling out a few of my favorite crafty cool things this July; shaker sets, fun shaker material and Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club for July.  

Did you know Spellbinders has a monthly Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club for quick card and project creativity?  This month's "Have a Chill Summer" Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Die set is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.

Here's the image of the clear stamp and die set for the month of July: 





The secret to perfect stamping starts with a stamping platform.  My favorite is 
My Sweet Petunia Mini Misti - Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented.  Why do you need a stamping platform?  Because you can keep stamping an image until it's absolutely perfect.  I often need to stamp an image a few times to get complete coverage.  The MISTI helps provide perfection. 

This particular card uses clear embossing ink ( Spellbinders Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink  coated with orange and lemon yellow embossing powder.  

The Shaker Set
The chipboard shaker set used one of many shaker sets available at Creative Embellishments.  The Creamsicle Shaker Set  is a great summer addition to your stash.  The chipboard is easy to paint, emboss or leave "as is". 
The shaker mix and embellishments
The shaker is filled with a combination of shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.  I mixed some Pink Champagne Half Pearlz  with some delicate Pastel Blooms Sprinkletz  pieces.  

 I finished the card with some 3D buttons  also from Buttons Galore  from the Fruit Smoothie pack.The button shanks are quite easy to cut off and adhere to projects and cards.  



Remember,  Spellbinders monthly club dies are uniquely designed for Spellbinders and only found in their store.   You can find past club kits still available for purchase here while supplies last.
