DT Post: Day of the Dead Altar/ House


Dear Scrappers,


This is my post for Paper Wings Productions: Day of Dead altar/ house I made to teach my crafty friends.



I used Paper Wings Productions:


I also used:
White cardstock
Neon colors cardstocks
Glitter cardstock
Crafty Chica day of dead printed cardstock
Liquid Glass
Distress Inks: antique linen, Ranger
Many little findings
Gesso, Hero Stamps liquid ink in Teal
Tissue paper
Mod Podge
Metal dies: Sizzix Crafty Chica dies
Michael's house
Cut n' Boss




Here some closeups:









For this project, I tinted the gesso with the liquid teal ink and roughly painted the walls and outside of the house:


Then, I modpodge some tissue papers on the outside walls of the house to resemble stucco. 



I cut several pieces of glitter paper and neon papers with the metal dies using my Cut n' Boss and Crafty Chica dies.

I stamped the banners on a crafty material I found at Hobby Lobby and cut then out:


I glued the banner pieces using fabric pressure tape to thick twine:


And added to the house using the CTMH pins:


Choose the pieces of printed cardstock for the walls:


I made a small table out of tread spool and round piece of wood:


I glued a dolly die cut to it and decorated a piece of plastic (found at the doll houses department at Hobby LObby) resembling a candle:


Finally after many other steps I decorated the house with the many findings to resemble a Mexican Day of the Dead altar telling a forever love story.
I added a tea light decorated with paper behind the banner I made:



I hope you enjoyed my little altar and visit The Aviary, Paper wings Productions' blog

Have wonderful and blessed day,

Vicky Tovar
