I seen this cool skeleton in a jar on Pinterest and thought the Apothecary jar from SVG Cuts kit Toil and Trouble would be perfect. I had a skeleton from the dollar store already so I just cut it up.
The tickets are stamps from Unity and paper is from Echo Park's Chillingsworth Manor, the clear is a transparency sheet.
Here is the website with the original skeleton in a jar, Inspiring Pretty, check it out there are other great Halloween decorations over there!!
Remember this kit is free this week with a $9.98 purchase, it's a $6.99 value, what a great deal!
This is an awesome project. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for the plastic part? i saw the apothecary jar thing on a pin the other day. Good thing Mary and Leo came up with the set at the right time! Great job!
ReplyDeletewow. Love the way you cut up the plastic. Which machine do you have? eclips?
ReplyDeleteThanks you!!
ReplyDeleteLinda the plastic is a transparency sheet, it's about the same weight as medium cardstock.
Pam, yes I have and use my Eclips love it!!
Does anybody have another idea for the the plastic? I went to staples to buy the transparencies and the thicker ones (and yes I sat there and felt how thick the different ones were) cost $69 for 50 sheets. I about fell over at the price. I love this project and would like tomake it, but I wasn't paying that.
ReplyDeleteDanielle that's a lot, check Michaels, ACMoore or Hobby Lobby and make sure they are bigger sheets because the cut for the jar is bigger then 8 1/2x 11.
ReplyDeleteHere is a video link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=869gK0icqa8 to someone cutting .007 craft plastic on the eclips, looks almost like the same weight that I used. Should be able to get 12x12 sheets at Michaels.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks. I looked on Joann's website and there was some but didn't want to order not knowing if they would work. But knowing how thick the sheets are helps too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see yours, and you will definitely find projects to use the them with!!
ReplyDeleteOne other thing I was thinking about, what did you glue it with?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your help,
Danielle
I used my ATG gun and it came out good!
