A few weeks ago, I stopped in for some picnic wear and meandered over to the floral section. I never even saw what flowers were there because I spotted a few tiny acrylic cloches that I knew I had to have. There were only a few left on the shelf so I can imagine that other folks felt the way I did. I snatched up what was left and headed to the check out.
Because I work pretty much in paper only, I turned on my computer, powered up my Silhouette software and scrolled through my Halloween files. Lo and behold, the perfect file appeared. Apparently I purchased it some time ago and pretty much forgot about it. But now, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had to put a little elbow grease into resizing it, but only a little. It pretty much must have been designed with a container like this in mind.
I cut the basic shape out of black cardstock, backed it with purple velum to catch the light, and cut some bats out that I covered in purple glitter so that they would stand out. I attached the bats with strips of transparency so that they would have the appearance of flying. Glued two tiny pumpkins in to add another little zap of color and whah- laaah'. A tiny 3D Halloween project that can add a touch of décor to any surface. I can think of sooo many uses: sit it on a shelf, nestle it in a table centerpiece, surround it with fallen leaves, lift it on a pedestal in a window...what ever.
