Me watching this in the dead of summer: LET THE SPOOPY VIBES COMMENCE. Also maybe if you plan on doing something similar to the skulls in the future, try buffing the pearlescent pigment into the surfaces to give that pearlescent sheen (a lot like nail pigments that are buffed into acrylic or gel nails!).

I love that you factor in all of your cost, including things that you already have on hand, but I do think realistically those items last for many many different projects and people who DIY tend to make many projects, so I think you actually did way better than your "savings" were, all of these turned out so well and I'm definitely making the snake candle holder and the skull!

For the skull texture you can also use mod podge and tissue/toilet paper instead of silver leaf. Just smush it around and get all the texture you want. Let it dry then use a pearl paint over it. Cheaper and easier.
@chrisjackson2345

I agree. sponge painting over mod podge much cheaper. For old spell books take an old book. hot glue lettering add plastic spiders and or skulls. Then modge podge napkins over that.Dry overnight. Sponge paint dark stain, then gold or copper paint highlights. turns out really cool and spooky! fun stuff adding eye balls on the flowers is fun too for the florals.

On the skull, I'd try mod podging tissue paper and then just painting over it with a semi gloss white then a final coat or two of translucent opally metallic gloss
@whatanitemare
14 күн бұрын
I did just that. I made sure the white tissue paper was on the crinkly side and gave it an all over light top coat of more Podge to make sure the folded bits were glued down well. My objective was for larger folds instead of all over crinkles. Once dry, I gave it a dry brush coat of grey to accent all the creased bits. My iridescent pearl coat went over top. I think your idea looks more like actual shells because it's got more flat angles and breaks rather than the all over smoothed lump texture the drywall compound created.

I love the wreath and want my own now! As for the snake, next time you try something similar, I would suggest using polymer clay. You can also stuff it with wire and aluminium foil, but you can bake it right with the glass. You can even mix an acrylic colour into the clay and then bake it, if you‘re concerned about what will show on the inside of the glass.

For the wreath: If you use hot glue instead of the super glue and accelerator (SG & A), you can have a similar time save and cost less than the SG & A. Also, the wisps of hot glue that get stuck to the greenery can add a layer of faux cobweb to up the spooky. They also sell similar wreaths at The Dollar Tree here in the US or even just a wire wreath that is 18" or 45.7 cm. Snake Votive: Dollar Tree for glass, aluminum foil, floral wire both thick and thin, mini hot glue sticks, and black acrylic paint that can be thinned with water to create a wash $7.50. Hobby Lobby for white or grey air dry foam clay, a bucket of 8.82 oz (250 g) is $3.99, may need 2 so $7.98, and DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Acrylic Paint gold 2 oz (59 ml) $1.89, Satin Krylon Spray finish $9.99. Total: $27.36 USD or $37.18 CAD Skull: Dollar Tree for 1 skull, 5 floral stems and 1 pack sand paper $8.75 USD. Home Depot for Patch-N-Paint 32 oz. Premium-Grade Lightweight Spackling $10.58, Hobby Lobby silver metal leafing (25 sheets at 5.5x5.5 in or 13.97x13.97 cm size) $3.49, and Metal Leaf adhesive, $4.99. Alternative: Rub 'N Buff $6.49, DecoArt Enchanted Shimmer Acrylic Paint $2.59. Total: $28.41 to $30.49USD or $38.61 to $41.44 CAD.

You are just incredible! I always enjoy watching folks make these dupes, and even though they are so creative they often turn out a little…well…cheap looking to me. You, however, have such an eye for really beautiful pieces and then are so brave to take it on!! I saw that wreath and thought “no way! There are some things you just can’t diy dupe.” BUT YOU DID IT! You NAILED it!! You are some sort of twisted genius and I just love it! Thanks so much for brilliant, quirky, ambitious videos. They really inspire me. Also, the snake is WAY better sculpted with metal cast look than a spray painted rubber snake. Those are the details that make your stuff look expensive. Even though the material dollars are low, the time and originality make these expensive pieces. You have to love the craft.
