Hello creative friends!
So excited to share this spooky home decor craft with you.
It's perfect for Halloween, super easy and the best part versitile!
Think, Christmas, Spring and Summer!! All you need are your favourite StencilGirl stencils and a few supplies.
Today I will be creating with two fabulous stencils from my stash, Alchemy designed by Laurie Mika and Leafy Garden by Rae Missingman. This will be the first time they get paint on them and they are perfect for this project.
Also if this is your first time creating tissue skins YAY!! you will love them!!
A step by step video is also availble here~DIY Spooky Stencilled tissue paper skins
Let's get started.
Supply List:
Stencils~ Alchemy & Leafy Garden
ModPodge
Craft mat/waxpaper/pallet paper
Tissue paper
Acrylic paint
Water spray bottle
Various sizes of embroidery hoops
Jenga blocks
Hot Glue
Moss and nature (optional)
The Process:
- Select either of the matt, wax paper sheet or pallet paper for the foundation. What is required here is a non porous surface that the tissue can lay on without sticking
- Spray water on to the surface (remeber a light mist is all that's needed) ensuring it is covered from end to end where the tissue will lay
- Lay the tissue paper on top and smooth it so it is making contact with the water. It will have lines and wrinkles and this is perfect! Exactly what we are looking for
- Once the paper is lightly saturated and with light strokes brush on the modpodge (if you happen to create a hole it's ok it will add to the spookiness!
- Once covered allow to dry completly and if you are impatient like me take a blow dryer to it
- Once dry grab the embroidery hoop and outline the inner circle on to the tissue~this will provide the guide for the stencil application
- Select the stencil images and stencil them to the tissue. Remeber to allow enough extra tissue diameter to be folded into the embroidery hoop if creating multiple on one piece of paper
- Allow stencilled image to dry completly
- Once you have all the images on the tissue it's time to peel the tissue off the backing!!
- With slow pulls it should easily come off
- Take apart the embroidery hoop placing the smaller piece on the bottom, tissue image in the center and the final larger hoop on top. Press down and ensure the hoop is even all around. Tighten the screw on top and flip it over. Cut any excess tissue off.
- With the glue gun apply a dollop of glue on to the center of the jenga block and place and hold the hoop on it till it can stand on its own
- Feel free to glue dry moss or nature around the base
- Note: these spooky hoops can also be hung so there is no need to do these last steps
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, thank you for stopping by.
