July-O-Ween: Stacked Poison Boxes

 


I struggled with what to call these because this was one of those projects that didn't really have a plan other than "how my brain works". I had two more plain wood shadow boxes from my Framed Skeleton Hand Shadow Boxes and this idea just came to me.

Supplies:
  • Wood Shadow Boxes (Dollar Tree)
  • Craft Smart Multi Surface Paint (Michaels)
  • Halloween Scrapbook Paper (Stash)
  • Halloween Labels (Stash)
  • Fillable Ornament (Stash)
  • Mod Podge
  • Epsom Salt
  • Halloween Glitter
  • Hot Glue and Glue Gun


For this project I used the smaller two boxes. I painted them black with my go to  CraftSmart MultiSurface paint (Michaels), then sized and cut scrapbook paper I had in my stash to fit inside. 


I used Mod Podge to adhere the scrapbook papers but didn't coat the top of the paper. 


I had this package of Poison Label Stickers I picked up at Michaels on sale years ago after season. There were 5 sheets of them and I still have two complete sheets and a couple of partial ones! 


I attached a couple to gold foil cardstock scraps and trimmed. 


Then I attached foam tape to the back of each label and attached them inside the boxes. Now it's time to "pick your poison"! I mixed up some Epsom Salt and Halloween glitter to make mine.


Of course I made more than I needed but I have an idea for the remainder. I spooned a little on top f each label, then glued one half of a fillable ornament using hot glue. 



I debated about putting some vinyl on the domes saying "Break In Case of Emergency" and may sti add a sign with that. 


I used a combination of thick tacky glue and hot glue to attach the boxes, then finished by adding more of the same black roses I used in my Skeleton Hands project. Elegant and Spooky is my jam!
