I know it's supposed to be June-O-Ween and Christmas in July but July-O-Ween is going to have to do! I said I wanted to get ahead of the seasons and this still qualifies so there!
Supplies:
- Wood Boxes (Dollar Tree)
- Halloween Scrapbook Paper (Stash)
- Ornate Frames (Stash)
- Skeleton Hands (Stash)
- Multi Surface Craft Paint (Michaels)
- Mod Podge
- Hot Glue
- Glue Gun
I found these little wood boxes at Dollar Tree in various sizes so I bought two of the large and one each of the medium and the small.
This idea came to me as I was inventorying my Halloween Craft Stash. I had these ornate frames from one of those they were too good to pass up on clearance trips to Michaels and I had some Skeleton Hands from Dollar Tree in there too. Grabbed some Halloween scrapbook papers and started to play.
I painted the two large boxes with Black Multisurface Satin paint (CraftSmart) and cut the scrapbookpapers to size to fit inside. I also dry brushed the boxes with silver paint.
I love this Multi Surface paint and it works just as well as more expensive brands. I painted the Skeleton Hands with silver and dry brushed some onto the frames.
This is after one coat on the hands. I did a second. When dry, I used hot glue to attach each hand to a frame, then glued to frame into the box.

The frames already had a little gold on them so I let that peek through the silver dry brushing. I also picked up some black roses from Dollar Tree and popped two from their stems to glue atop each box.
Boo!
