Tutorial: Pictures and Frames

 Hey there!

I decided to add in a tutorial for the Salem Witch Academy frames just in case there is someone who needs a little help with that.


Whether you have a frame or pictures first, it is helpful to know what size they are. So get out that ruler and measure the inner dimensions of the frame.

If your picture is larger than your frame you can use the insert for the template to cut the picture, or the glass if it didn't have the insert anymore.


The frame is slightly smaller than the picture.
 

I used the insert that came in the frame as a cutting template to make it the correct size.


While the frame is all apart it's a great time to give the glass a quick clean and spray paint frame the desired color!
Then place the picture on the glass then add the cardboard and close the holder pins.


There it is. That one was easy! I actually took this one back apart and spray painted it black to match the theme.

  

Here is another example of an oval-shaped frame.
Repeat steps as above. 

Then I have one more example that has multiple pics in one frame.

The frames I used held three 4 x 6" pictures.

I cut the pictures to the correct size making them slightly larger than the 4 x 6" mat and used a glue stick to attach to the back of the cardboard frame. Then I painted the white mat black and inserted it back onto the glass and frame.

I had three pictures that fit stacked and three that were side by side. 



Happy October, Witches!

Who's that Witch?

 Hey there!

This year's Halloween theme is The Salem Academy for Witches. I've already started decorating and have lots more to do but wanted to share some with you as I go along. I will be adding tutorials when I can.


Today's post is "Who's that witch?"  



For the Witch Academy, I wanted to display pictures of current and former students and staff. I rummaged through my basement and found some old frames that I have been saving for projects, repurposed some other, and purchased a few more at the dollar store. I painted most of them black sticking with the Haunted Mansion feel and hung them gallery-style on the wall in the stairway and threw in some keys, candles, and mirrors.



I found pictures online that I thought fit perfectly so I printed those in black and white or sepia and sized them to fit my frames. I made a small how-to tutorial for pictures if you need help.



Another picture I wanted was of the school that would be the Academy for Witches. I made a how-to tutorial on this as well because I had a very large frame that I wanted to put it in as a focal for the landing wall so I needed to make it BIG!




See ya tomorrow.

Happy crafting Witches!

Ahh, October. That means Halloween and Halloween makes me Happy!

Get out your decorations (if you haven't already) and start decorating with me.

This month I will be posting what I'm doing in my house for Halloween along with tutorials and anything else that I can think to share.

Halloween Theme This Year is...

 Hello there!

When the weather starts to change and whispers of Autumn can be seen I feel the need to start decorating for Halloween! 

Since moving to Canada it has started a little earlier than when I lived in the southern states. Some people think I am crazy but my friends know me so well they tip me off to the shops that are already displaying Halloween items so I can begin my shopping.

Every year I pick a theme. From Harry Potter at Hogwarts to Ghosts and Goblins, I enjoy many themes but save most of the gory, bloody stuff for the haunted houses.


This year I have decided to have a Witches School theme, not Harry Potter wizards more like Salem witches! So I began by collecting ideas with my kids on a Pinterest board as you can have collaborators so everyone can add ideas. After a few days be sat together and scrolled through the ideas until we agreed on

  the Salem Acadamy for Witches.



I have begun on projects and have lots more in the works. I like to give myself plenty of time to make them because, well, life is busy and I want to enjoy this! So, I will be posting as I go along with some tutorials if I remember to take pics along the way.


Stay tuned to see how the Salem Acadamy for Witches turns out.

Happy crafting Witches!

Unicorn Horn Headband ~Isabella

Unicorn Horn Headband ~Isabella

Hello! 
I have been busy playing with clay again. This time I have been thinking about woodland and fantasy creatures.  
Well, I am actually ALWAYS thinking about woodland and fantasy! 
Today I started listing some finished items in the SHOP.
I will keep adding them as I finish and picture them.


This one is all about Unicorns
I have made a small group of Unicorn Horn Headbands.
Each one is handmade and unique so if you see one you like and it is not available I can make something similar but not exact.



I hand sculpted the horn from clay, baked and sealed it in a clear varnish to protect it and give it a nice shine.


Affixed it to a light blue fabric-wrapped headband.
Embellished with blue & white flowers and berries.


Gave it soft white fur ears.


Included a wide white ribbon.

This beautiful headband is comfortable to wear and stays in place.


Here are a few others that will be available soon!



I have really enjoyed making these and wear my little deer horns all the time :)

Thank you all for your support!

Harry Potter Mini Magic Wand Necklace

Harry Potter Mini Magic Wand Necklace


One day while working on Harry Potter Magic Wand orders I was daydreaming about how I could carry around a wand discretely but have it handy at the same time. Then I thought of my mini Harry Potter Magic Wand Keychain.  I already carry one around on my purse ( It helps repel the muggles if they get too close). Why not use the same style but make it a necklace?! So, that's what I did.
