Halloween Skeleton Pin Badge/Brooches

My apologies, as I am posting even more pin badges today, I know it’s only just March but I am in a Halloween frame of mind.

I still have quite a few MDF skeletons left over from last Halloween (and have since ordered a few of the tiny 20mm ones as they inspire me so much) ……….

  ……and wondered if I could use them with some of the other docrafts Bare Basics wooden wreath shapes I used in my Easter badges last week.

Again, there are no great shapes to the idea, I simply started by covering the skeleton with white Ranger Enamel Accents, colouring the wreath orange and covering a 4cm wooden circle with black paper.

When the Enamel Accents had dried I then stuck the skeleton in the middle ........ 


 ........adding a few tiny silver stars and clusters of white dots using a nails supreme pen hither and thither.

On the back of each circle I stuck a small brooch/badge fitting using E8000, adding faux stitching around the edge using a black fine liner pen and a Boo! for good measure.


I am really chuffed with how these have turned out, especially the layers and depth which adds real interest. I am also really trying hard to resist the urge to order another box of frames now that I  have unleashed their potential for other projects, I am already thinking snowman in front of a snowy scene ....... so watch this space.
