Do you remember this pretty little thing from our CHA booth in July?
Well "Gertie the Skeleton" has become quite popular! I will be on a local Utah morning show tomorrow morning to show how to make one of your very own! For those local to Utah, watch Studio 5 on Tuesday, 10/9 at 11am on KSL Channel 5!
*Update! Watch the TV segment HERE!
I will post a link to the segment when it is online. But the concept is pretty simple.
Get a Skeleton.
Paint it with chalkboard paint.
Doodle on her with a chalkboard pen.
Jazz her up with some jewelry.
Make her a paper crown!
Here is a template for the crown, you can make all kinds of crowns with this template and by only using one piece of 12x12 paper.
I will post a link to the segment when I get it! I just love Halloween and hope we inspire you to create fun holiday elements for your day!
Have a wonderful day :)
It's like a cross between Mardi Gras and Day of the Dead! :)
ReplyDeleteGertie is a rock star! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love Gertie!! I already own the paint, I just need to find a skeleton... and some bling :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I was beginning to think that Gertie was made of paper! And I just couldn't figure out how! lololol

ReplyDeleteGlad to find Gertie isn't made of paper. So much easier to use chalkboard paint and bling. Thanks for the crown pattern. Such a fun project and good luck on the show. Have fun!
