Day 15 of 31 Days of Halloween
"Catrina"
Day of the Dead
Hanging Rosette Ornament
by Leigh
Today begins our 3rd week of Halloween SPOOKtivities and what a SPOOKtacular haunting month it has been already, we're loving all the faBOOlous makes shared in our Haunt Hop, keep the eye candy coming!
I'm back for Day 15 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities with a drop dead gorgeous hanging ornament featuring a Day of the Dead themed kitty from my new CAToWeen 2024 Halloween Loveleigh Kitties Collection! Check everything out and more in my Halloween Sale too!
Catrina Loveleigh Kitty is the star of my hanging ornament today.
On Day 5 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities I shared my Dia De Los Muertos book panel where I used 2 prints of my coloured Catrina kitty and fussy cut out just the flowers from the 2nd print. I kept her head of course and used it for my hanging ornament make today!
To make my hanging ornament I used both sizes of the Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Paper Rosettes and die cut them from a sheet of Crafter's Companion Vintage Halloween cardstock in shades of pink and red with a spiderweb design. Once assembled I applied Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink to all the ridges and edges of both rosettes, front and back.
I then decorated both sides of each rosette with paper flowers and the front of the smaller one has a spider crawling around amongst the flowers.
From my stash of jewelry supplies I upcycled a beaded wine bottle decoration with green beads and gold jewelry findings and re-assembled the linked components to create the hanger, the connecting piece between the 2 rosettes and the 3 strand beaded tassel.
Using the existing perforated fold holes in each rosette I widened a hole and attached the rosettes and the beaded components with jump rings.
For lots of pretty sparkle I embellished Catrina Kitty and all the paper flowers with Diamond Sickles glitter.
To complete my Day of the Dead make I adhered Catrina Kitty to the large rosette with black foam tape and attached a gold swirl hanger to hang up my fun Day of the Dead rosette ornament.
We
hope our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities are inspiring you to do your own Halloween crafting, do come and share them with us in our 14th annual 31 Days of Halloween Hop, there's lots of spooktacular makes linked up already!
