Halloween is just around the corner and I really wanted to get started on some fun projects.  Every year I have a fun Halloween party for my family and friends.  I go all out with my party decor so I thought creating a fun Halloween Inspired Serving Tray would be a great idea for the table setting!

Let’s get started with this quick and cool tutorial!

 

Items Needed:

  • Foam Brushes
  • Adhesive Black Rhinestones
  • Foam Skull Head

Instructions:

Gather your supplies.

I was able to find the perfect colors in the Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics.

I started off by painting three coats of the Gold paint.  Allowing each coat to dry completely.

Then I went over the head with the champagne paint color and a sponge brush (lightly).

Finally I went over the whole head with the chocolate paint.  I love that you can still see the other colors showing through the chocolate paint.  I did go a little heavier in spots like the eye, nose and teeth area.

Now the fun part, adding our diamonds!! I wanted to add a little more sparkle to this project.  I was VERY excited when I found the adhesive diamonds.  They went on super simple.
