Day Six of Halloween FaBOOlosity: Glitterati Skull Earrings Video!

What the what? Can it be? Day SIX of Halloween FaBOOlosity?! Huzzah! Today's spookcraftular selection is a video we made way back when...one of our first...and it has perhaps about 57 too many sound effects. There's a fun dance break and Avalon makes an ADORABLE cameo. Now that I know more about UTEE, I would not recommend stirring it like I do in the video and I would suggest adding some UTEE Flex. Though I still have the jewelry I made that day and it all looks great!

Lots of stuff happening here at Studio Madge, so stay tuned!

Spookily yours,
Madge

Halloween Repost: In Case of Emergency Necklace

In Case of Emergency Copyright 2009 Margot Potter

Today's Halloween fabulosity is the sequel to yesterday's design. This is one of the most downloaded projects on my blog. I like that the tables are turned on the villain here and it was fun writing short stories to go with the projects. These first two are actually springboards for a novel I have been working on since.

Dang. Halloween got away from me this year. I have been feeling so lousy, that although I said to myself, "Self, let's re-post some great Halloween projects on the old bloggy." I did not post them.

Until today.

For the next eight days I will post a link to one of my favorite The Impatient Crafter(tm) Halloween projects...except for Wednesday when I will post a new project by Avalon for ILovetoCreate.

It has been thusly decreed. 'Oh frabjous day...calloo, callay!'

Today's link is to a short story and project with a Vampire theme...

Hauntingly yours,
Madge

ILoveToCreate Teen Crafts: Hallowe'en Masquerade Ball Mask

I was really impressed when Avalon showed me the mask she created and the outfit she styled to go with it! Tres chic, n'est pas? I must admit, seeing my little girl look so sophisticated and grown up was a little tough to take, but I'm so very proud of her creativity. Here's this week's fabulous teen craft created by the lovely and talented Avalon Potter!

ILovetoCreate Teen Crafts
"Teen crafted, mom approved."

Since I created an invitation to a Halloween masquerade ball last week, I decided that this week I would make a mask for the ball. Every girl needs a sparkly mask to complete her fabulous ensemble. This is a great project because you really make it your own, for example you can switch up the pattern or size of the crystals or you could even change the color pallet of the mask. I had a lot of fun making this and I hope you will too.


Materials
• A plain mask of any color (preferably fabric)
• A fabric flower of any color
• Tulip Glam-it-up™ crystals
• Tulip Glam-it-up™ cordless heat setting tool
• Aleene’s Liquid Fusion glue


Instructions
Step 1. Once you have gathered all of your materials get your mask, hot fix crystals, and applicator. Plan out where you want your crystals to go so you know where to apply them ahead of time.

Step 2. Apply crystals using your applicator. Designer Note: If your mask is plastic or made of plastic do not use the applicator it will melt the mask. Use Liquid Fusion glue to apply the crystals instead.

Step 3. Once you have finished applying your crystals, decide where you will want your fabric flower to go. I put mine in the upper corner of the mask.

Step 4. Use Liquid Fusion to glue the flower to the mask.

Step 5. Allow glue to dry. Once you finish you’ll have a beautiful mask to complete your costume.
