Halloween set - bogey with arms

Hello, my friends!! Welcome at my DIY blog Kalamondin Design! I'm so happy to see you here, I have hope that you will enjoy the time that you spend here and maybe you will inspire to do something by your own hands!

Halloween is coming so as I said in my first post-Halloween Set I decided to try to earn some money. I had few block from the palette that I cut, few square scraps so this will be my Halloween set.
I don't have a lot of pictures of my work, but to be honest I did not work too much.
The most important thing is to polish wood scrap because as I said they are from different things and I had few splinters during this work. So if I want to have "safe" Halloween decoration I had to polished this scrap a lot.

After polishing the worst thing - painting. To base paint, I used orange "Śniezka". I found in Castorama nice series of paints that I may use to paint wood. They have a lot of colors (you may see them in my other post- Wood Holidays signs )and have small cans. As you know I live in a flat so space for me is more than gold. At the beginning, I was buying big cans because they are cheaper - but I had four cans in my wardrobe and I had no space. Now I'm buying small cans so I may have a lot of colors 😅
One of them is orange. As you may see it fits Halloween perfectly. It's like the natural color of pumpkin.
After base color, it is time for the face. And once again, probably the kid from elementary school would paint it better, but my kid got only 3 years so she can't paint (besides rainbows and my face 😆)
But I've made something as you may see, for sure you may see that this is handmade😂

At the end, it's time for nils. My Halloween set supposed to be spooky, but it is not. I think that it is funny but Halloween is for fun and for kids so I think that maybe some kid will buy it😉

Hello, my friends! Welcome at my DIY blog Kalamondin Design! I have Hope that you will like things which I'm doing with wood scrap and rusty nails.

Halloween is coming so I decided to try to earn some money on Halloween decorations. In Poland, Halloween is not so popular as in other countries in Europe or USA. But Warsaw is different than other cities. Here Halloween is more popular on every year so I will try to make some spooky Halloween decorations.

At the beginning, I found few pieces of square wood that I could use.

I polished the wood scrap to get a smooth effect and then I painted it with orange colors.

And now the worst part for me - precision painting. As I said before I got no paint skills so I had to look for some Halloween decorations to see how I can easily paint some spooky faces. I found it on Pinterest where I saw another Halloween decorations that I can make. But this time I'm using wood and nails so I will not talk about it. 

As you may see I made simple triangle eyes and nose and zigzag mouth. I' ll be honest that I was painting it for the first time! I have never before painted any Halloween decorations but as I said Halloween is not so popular here.

As you may see my bogey is not perfect but it doesn't need to be. It supposes to be original, simple and have nice look as a decoration. To be honest, I like it so much that I'm thinking about not selling it 😅

I think that this is a very nice decoration that everyone may do and you don't need to use any powerful or expensive tools. I had a lot of fun when I was doing it, because from wood scrap you may get so nice thing. As I said maybe it is not perfect, but it is not from any factory and no one else got figurine like this. Halloween is coming so, please give me a comment what do you think about it and what kind of Halloween decorations you plan to make. 

Of course, if you like my Halloween set and this bogey with legs please subscribe my blog and share my creations. I'm so happy to see you here!! Have a nice day and have a SPOOKY Halloween!😅

Hello and welcome to our DIY blog Kalamondin Design!
I am very happy that you are here and you are an interest of things we are doing.

Halloween is coming so I decided to try to earn some money at the decorations. Sounds easy but I have never before made Halloween decorations so this is my first year. Do you have any ideas of simple, wooden DIY decorations for Halloween? If yes please leave me to comment on it, maybe I will try to do it.

But this was my first idea. I have a lot of wood scraps if you know my second blog DIY Wood And Nails that you know it. I wanted to use them because it is great opportunity to clean my "workshop".

I think that this idea is simple as possible. Five pieces of wood scrap. Four of them I will use as figurines and one to connect them.

As you may see I used orange paint, green ( acacia), white and ebony.

I used the ebony mordant to paint the wood scrap that I used to connect the figurines.
But I had ebony "bogey" so I had to change it a little bit. To make it I used acacia mordant as you may see at the bottom.

If you remember I was painting like this my wooden flower pot and a wooden flower pot for succulents. I love the effect. It looks like old wood with a little bit of moss.

A lot of fun with this DIY Halloween project. Faces and eyes, I like the most the white ghost. As I said I have never before doing Halloween spooky figurines. Five wood scrap less on my balcony. Nice decoration for sale is ready.
Oh, I used altho eight nails to connect the wood scraps 😁

So what do you think about my first DIY Halloween decoration? Do you think that anyone will buy it? 😁 I have hope so I'm trying to earn some money for a new tablet for my kid😋 I think that I will use some more my wood scraps to make Halloween decorations like this. If no one will buy it I will try to sell them in next year. Halloween is not so popular here as in the USA so it might not be so easy.

This is a short post because there was no a lot of work and I think that I don't need to explain what I was doing step by step.
Thank you for your time. I have hope that you like my first Halloween DIY project. Please leave me feedback with your ideas.

Have a nice day and spooky Halloween!!!
