I have a small Halloween gift for a friend and wanted it wrapped in something special.
I started with a 8" papier mache witches hat from Michael's.
I painted the entire surface with gesso.
This little cardboard box once contained fresh mushrooms and I decided to recycle it.
Next, I roughly painted the hat and box in purple acrylic.
I gathered collage materials - craft papers, magazine photos, stickers and other Halloween goodies adhering them to the hat with matte medium.
These were so fun and inexpensive to make, my friend Sherry will be very surprised with her gifts.
Once again, SO very clever & sweet of you!!!
