This project started when I purchased a wine stopper at a yard sale. It had witch's legs sticking out of the top. Then with a little imagination, I came up with a cute Halloween decoration. I listed this as medium skill level because of having to cut critters in two.
Start off by bending some stiff wire into a mummy shape. Next thing is to wrap it with gauze, then glue on some wiggly eyes. I cut the gauze in little strips and made sure to leave a little hanging in places.
I bought a little cauldron at Dollar Tree. It was orange so I painted it black. Then I cut out a circle to fit into the cauldron out of cardboard. Next I cut the center out so the stopper could fit into it. Then I glued purple glitter to the cardboard and glued it into place. Sorry this tutorial isn't showing step by step, but this is a finished project that I wanted to share.
I put the stopper in the middle, then cut part of a frog and bug, and glued them to the cardboard. The spoon is actually a kabob stick that I stuck into the cardboard.
I made the snake out of clay, glued it on, as well as cutting a turtle in half, and gluing it on. Lastly, I had to have an eye of newt, so glued a wiggly eye in there.
Here's what it looks like when it's altogether.
