Spooky Ornaments

This post should really be titled I am too impatient not to post about my crafty project and too lazy to take a picture with my good camera. See previous post for details.

So today (yesterday) I had a craft day with my in laws. Also known as an excuse to get together and have my mother in law make us tuna sandwiches for lunch. Everyone else wanted to make these cute mummies from Martha:

And I thought I would try my hand at these:

Long story short, I sort of forgot the mod podge step (um...OOPS) and wasn't happy with how the paint came out on my ornaments. So I went for a combination of the two crafts. And this is what I got:

The mummy, but ornament style. I painted the ornament black, wrapped it in torn pieces of muslin that I secured with a little mod podge, and then used a hot glue gun to stick on the eyes.

A ghost. This was used to hide an extra hideous paint job. I cut a circle out of the muslin, cut a hole in the too to string the ribbon through, and hot glued the eyes.

And this one was my favorite. For some reason the black paint worked really well. So I covered a couple of them with googley eyes and added them to the mix.

I have them all strung together on black ribbon and plan to hang them as a garland as soon as I can figure out what my husband did with the staple gun.
