Some time this year I saw a post about these little creepy Figurines. I knew as soon as I saw it that we were going to have to make some. It was a fun fairly easy up cycle to help us get in the halloween spirit!
We went to 4 different second hand stores to come up with a total of 7 Figurines. I was actually very surprised at how much the cost. they are all made of various material, porcelain , plastic, and one is heavy enough to be clay. the smaller cats are actually a pair of salt and pepper shakers. i just filled in the holes on top with glue and let dry before beginning.
The first thing we did was clean them off, (apparently my diuter is broken so the book shelf has not been cleaned, it adds a little bit of character to the pictures , wink ,wink.) then we let them dry completely. we then took all of them outside to paint, this took about 3 hours. We sprayed one side and let it dry , then did the other side, and the top and bottom. Not the bottom of the figurine but the underside of each and evey angle that we wanted completely black.
Here is them drying between coats. Almost like they are looking in the yard. The net step is not pictured. my daughter and i painted the eyes on each one and she painted the tears that all turned out great.
They all look amazing!! I will find other places to put them around the house to creep people out.
The Owl.
Mama Cat.
Choir boy and Tiny Angel.
We had a lot of fun making these and will defiantly make more in the future. Maybe though next time we will find out when the half off day is at our local second hand store. This is not a very romantic post, the season is coming for all things scary so we must be prepared!!
Muahahahahahah!
