Hallow's Eve Nevermore Craft - DIY Show Off

DIY Halloween Nevermore Tree

Once upon a mid-day dreary, a Halloween ?Nevermore? tree served as a lonely focal point in a spooky Victorian vignette but nevermore thanks to the rare and radiant craft maiden, Martha Stewart Crafts!

It felt more like Christmas than Halloween when a stash of Martha Stewart Crafts?supplies arrived at my door?

This is my kind of trick or treat goodies!

I chose to accessorize glass candle holders with an Edgar Allan Poe/Victorian Halloween vibe with black lace accents {love Halloween that?s not so ?Halloween-y? and can be re-used all year round}?

DIY black lace candle votives

Materials:

  • glass candle holders, jars, vases (with a smooth surface)
  • squeegee
  • Martha Stewart adhesive silkscreens (lace doilies)
  • Martha Stewart metallic glass paint (black nickel)
  • Martha Stewart adhesive stencils (small holiday collection)

Tutorial:

1. Prep: Cut apart adhesive silkscreens. Peel away the backing of your adhesive silkscreen. Clean glass with rubbing alcohol.

2. Place adhesive silkscreen onto glass and smooth into place with a squeegee. They are re-position-able so if it looks crooked, just peel it away and replace. You may also want to tape the side to further secure into place but I didn?t find it necessary until after several washings.

Set aside to dry (and replace on original backing to store).

6. Let glass dry. Glass paint air cures in 21 days or you can speed up the curing process in the oven (follow instructions).

I love the metallic shimmer of the Black Nickel glass paint?

So pretty and the perfect accent to complete a Victorian Halloween vignette, don?t you think?

I also used the adhesive stencils (the crow) for a smaller glass votive holder?

And now the Raven tree is accessorized all the more.

The adhesive silkscreens and adhesive stencils are so fun ? you?ll want to go crazy with them! I can?t wait to try it on fabric.?Bri tested the adhesive stencils on painted/distressed wood scraps. So cute!
