Halloween Masks

Fun, rainy day activity for kids!

Over the years, I have collected some printable Halloween Masks. These can be printed, embellished with sequins, glitter, glow in the dark paint or whatever your creative mind can come up with. I've even used glitter nail polish to jazz them up! Two of them are made for children to color and then, with adult supervision of course, cut out.

Feel free to send me pictures of any you use and I'll post them!

Altered Paint Cans ...

SO VERSATILE!

Altered Paint Can, you say. So what exactly is an Altered Paint Can? It's this ...

 

These were created for a friend and personalized for her new baby boy and her daughter. The photo block instructions will be given in another blog.

The possibilities for design are only limited to your imagination!

Basic Supplies Needed

• Paint Can
  Lowe's carries the paint cans with handle and lids, gallon size, for about $5.00. I prefer the all metal ones over the plastic body ones as the metal really holds up!
• Sanding Block
• Mod Podge
• Sponge Brushes for apply Mod Podge
• Template for Can and Lip
• Download PNGs below file that can be used to put in artwork of your choice. You may have to make some adjustment to the side holes where the handle attaches as I have found, these can be off a little from one can to another.
  
  Download File   A new page will open, right click on the image you want to download and save image file.

• Optional Pony Beads in your color choices to cover the can handle. Approximately 50, depending on the size and shape of the beads. Just be sure when you purchase that they will fit onto the handle on the can!
• Polyurethene Spray to seal the artwork.
• Optional: Ribbons for trimming handle.

Instructions

1. Print your can artwork, cut and set aside.
2. Remove the handle from the can. Wipe both the can and lid off, remove any stickers from the can.
3. Take the sanding block and lightly sand the outside of the can and the center portion of the lid.
4. Wipe the outside of the can and the lid again, being sure to remove all of the sanding residue.
5. Working quickly, apply a coat of Mod Podge to the outside of one side of can, from one handle to the other.
6. Apply your artwork, starting at one handle and smoothing it out to the other handle. Be careful not to damage your artwork.
7. Repeat Step 5 and 6 to apply the other side of the can, from one handle to the other, overlapping the pattern and the handles or butting the two together and the handle.
8. Let this sit up for about 30 minutes.
9. Now, working quickly and carefully, apply a coat of Modge Podge to the entire outside of the can over the artwork.
10. Set up to dry overnight.
11. Follow these direction for applying your artwork to the top of the can.
12. Once the can and the lid are dry, spray both with the Polyurethene Spray, let dry completely and apply a second coat if you like.
13. Let the can set for at least 24 hours. 
14. Now take the handle and put the Pony Bead on it and reattach to the can. You can then tie some ribbon at the ends or leave as is.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are looking for a particular artwork. I may be able to assist you!

Enjoy!
