Adorable Halloween Mini Shrines by Shannon Cooper!

Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Halloween Countdown Kit, Shannon Cooper, Tutorials

Oh my… Design Team Member Shannon Cooper has made the most adorable little shrines!

Her October Fun Mini Shrines use three of the new shrines — and I adore her little “pipe cleaner critters” she made to sit inside the cubbies!

Here’s some text from Shannon’s blog post:

The inside of the shrines are 2″ x 2″, perfect for a pile of mini pumpkins, a polymer clay candy corn, or how about a zombie arm? Ooooh, zombie arm…

I simply painted the shrines black, papered them, added glitter, and tucked a pipe cleaner critter inside the shrine.

The inside of each shrine was decorated with a black spiderweb paper, then a gathered circle of glittery orange tulle was stuffed in there, and finally my little pipe cleaner dudes were glued in place. I had a few old wooden letters in the stash (the letters for BOO and EEK were long gone) but fortunately I found FUN, painted them orange, and added them to the shrines.

Psst… scroll down just a bit and see the sides of the shrines… I love how Shannon decorated them, mainly with images from the Vintage Halloween Pumpkin Time Scrapbook Paper . And you can see the crepe paper ruff on the middle shrine better in that photo.

Read more in Shannon’s blog post (and as you can see from the photo at right, she includes steps for making the shrines, too). Here’s Shannon’s supply list (plus check below in the Giveaway for another photo and a chance to win lots of goodies to reproduce her project)!

 
New Halloween Goodies!

From spooky paper (just a snippet from those branches against the moon or cloudy sky would be a good background for an ATC) to tiny poison labels and faux vintage manila tags with old advertising prints, like “Asthma Cigarettes“!
