Pinkoween: Glam Skeleton Plaque

 

Another Pinkoween project like my Glam Pinkoween Ghost. 

Supplies:

• Wood Plaque (Dollar Tree)
• Pink, Black, and White Acrylic Paint
• Small Skeleton (Mine is from a Dollar Tree Garland)
• Hot Glue Tomstones 
• Stand

I had this wood plaque from Dollar Tree in my stash. They seem to always have them in different shapes. The skeleton was part of a garland so I cut one free. 

The edge was beveled and I painted it in black. I think it looks like a frame. 

I used white acrylic paint to cover the center. I didn't even sand the wood because I liked it better if it looked rough. 

Once the white paint was dry, I coated it with white glue. This is my go to crackle technique!

Lightly dry brushed some silver and some white on the skeleton. 

Went over top with pink paint and watched the magic of the crackling work as it peeked through. Love how aged it looks! 

Gotta have more sparkle, right? I mixed some tinsel glitter (Michaels) and Mod Podge and brushed it on the skeleton and plaque. 

You can see the glitter here (along with a little black streak because I had a dirty brush, but it works!). Glued some beaded garland I picked up at Michaels on clearance around the edge as shown. And then using hot glue and tacky glue, glued the skeleton to the plaque. Couldn't resist adding some rhinestones to the eyes and tied a simple bow around the neck. 

To make the tombstones, I used a silicone mold and hot glue and will show how in a future post!
