Halloween is just around the corner, and I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with Martha Stewart Crafts® and Plaid Crafts to come up with a fun project for the occasion. I opted to make a Halloween centerpiece using products from the new Martha Stewart Decoupage line.
Check out all the goodies they sent me!
Martha Stewart Crafts® Decoupage products can be found at Michaels. They are all dishwasher safe, machine washable, non-yellowing, dry hard with no tack, and can be used indoors or out. They can also be used on any surface, such as glass, fabric, paper, metal, wood — you name it.
For my centerpiece, I started with just a basic cylinder-shaped glass vase.
I used the Gloss decoupage and brushed it onto the vase.
I used gold spiderweb patterned decoupage paper to cover the vase. I brushed the decoupage onto the back of the paper little by little as I applied it. Then, I brushed a layer of decoupage on top of the paper smoothing it out as I went along. One thing I noticed about this paper is that it is so easy to smooth out and it doesn’t rip easily like regular tissue paper does.
I allowed the paper to dry for a little over an hour.
After the paper had dried, I added some black lace trim to the top and bottom of the vase using the decoupage to adhere it. I just had to go slowly and brush it on as I went.
Then, I used the Martha Stewart Crafts multi-surface high gloss paint in “beetle black” and stencils to spell “BOO!”.
I filled the vase with candy corn, then added branches from the yard with little plastic spider rings hanging from them.
I can’t say enough good things about these products. I have always loved Martha Stewart Crafts® products, and the Decoupage formulas and finishes are no exception. There is such a wide variety of products in this line to play around with, and so many project possibilities.
