![]() ![]() I want to thank Tim, Mario and Paula for all of their encouragement and support. I added a couple more confections pieces to the other side of the jack-o-lantern candy bucket but wanted the baseboard piece to still show. This sticker from the idea-ology curiosities sticker book was perfect. Glue onto the display dome base with distress collage medium.Īdd a few of the candy pieces on the base of the display dome next to the jack-o-lantern candy bucket.Īdd idea-ology boneyard bones and confections pieces to the jack-o-lantern candy bucket and glue into place with distress collage medium. Add walnut stain distress ink and water to your glass media mat and roll the cork in it and dry.Īdd the confections slices to a tall glass vial and add twine and a label from the idea-ology halloween snippets pack. Sand the cork and pull bits off to make it look weathered. Please note that alcohol ink will stain the white non stick mat so use the glass part, unless you don’t care and then go wild. You only want a light covering so add more blending solution as needed. Finally, add a few drops of mushroom alcohol ink and blending solution to your glass media mat to make a wash and roll the vial in it. Once dry, repeat with a layer of distress clear rock candy crackle paint and set aside to dry again. Put the vial on the end of a paintbrush to hold in place and using another paintbrush cover with a light layer of distress collage medium. To make the crackle glass vial for your confections slices, take vial from the idea-ology corked vials pack. Yes I cut directly onto my glass media mat. The ink is quite wet so I rolled it in kitchen paper to blot the excess and then took one of the confections sticks and cut it with my craft knife. I had planned to use alcohol inks with a blending pen but I couldn’t find my pen so I grabbed this and it worked. The new idea-ology halloween confections pieces are so cool! I blended in some walnut stain distress ink and used a faber castell pitt pen (sanguine) to colour. I used fossilized amber and rusty hinge distress sprays on mine and I skipped the glitter, because NO! My tree looks bedraggled and wonky, which is totally the look I was going for! Honest! LOL The candy corn tree is an awesome idea of Tim’s from way back. When I add tiny lights I always have them switched on as it helps to see where you’re putting them. I thread the tiny lights up through the candy corn tree and cut the excess off. ![]() Add a little hot glue to hold them in place, being careful not to get hot glue on the bulbs as it can short out your lights. ![]() Using the Tim Holtz Tonic craft knife I cut a wedge from the hole to the edge for the tiny lights wire so the dome will stand flat. I use a dremel micro with the drill attachment. Make a hole in the base big enough to thread tiny lights through. I added a piece from the idea-ology halloween baseboards pack, it was a little thicker than I wanted so peeled away a couple of layers of cardboard and stuck down with distress collage medium. Take a cork base from the idea-ology display dome and paint with black soot and crackling campfire distress paints. I LOVE him and I chose the display dome because I wanted to make it all about him. The colour, the face, the detail, it’s heavy in your hand, you can remove the handle or have it up or down and it’s thick wire so it just stays in place. It was such a fun party and the products are incredible! This was my favourite ever Halloween idea-ology release and this jack-o-lantern candy bucket is hands down my favourite piece. I made this display dome for the Tim Holtz idea-ology Halloween LIVE. If you’ve been watching the weekly LIVES over on Tim Holtz YouTube channel, I’m sure you’re either already way down in Halloween town or planning your visit. I’m so excited for pumpkins, chilly mornings, candles, hot chocolate, more pumpkins and lots of seasonal making. Tomorrow is the first day of my favourite quarter of the year.
