Witches Broom and Hat:

Revisiting the Petal Cone Die

Hey there!

I know, it has been a LONG time since I posted!

I have been SUPER busy....

My visit to Scotland was great fun,

My Christmas Stamp 'n' Stacks are done..

and I have even done a workshop!

Then, went on retreat this past weekend!

But, as I type this, I am in a collar and wrist splints.

It seems that cutting and prepping over 2000 cards

was just too much for my old

(and getting older by the day..it is my birthday tomorrow)

to cope with...I have been ordered by the doc

to rest up - and that means NO CRAFTING!!!

Can you believe it??!!!

So, I am going to use the time to post

all the projects that i have pictures for that I have

not shared yet!!

Today is a Halloween Treat Broom and Hat

This is such an easy and quick project -

great for last minute Halloween decor in the entrance hall

which is where it is sitting in our home!

That Petal Cone Die! Don't ya love what it can do??!!

To make the broom, cut 2 of the petal cone die and adhere

toegther. Cut a slit across the top about 1/4 inch down.

Roll a 1x 8.5 inch strip of eggplant around a straw

and pop it in the slit.

I spritzed mine with smooch spray, and did the same to

a sheet of black card. I cut strips about 1/4 inch wide

and adhered them to the top of the petal cone, leaving a bit

of an overlap at the top.

Tie a bit of Old Olive ribbon around, fill with treats and

add a tag - simple!

The hat is made the same - assemble the petal cone.

Add a scallop circle as the base.

Add a strip of Eggplant around it, and a punched circle of Olive.

So, since I am ordered out of my craft room

I will post tomorrow!!!

I am appreciative of your comments.
