Junk Journal – Chucky Fanta

I loved when Fanta teamed up with the Chucky franchise and released the Fanta horror character collaborations. I was quick to get the packaging when this came out and this came from it. It is layered on top of red cardstock hinged together with a paper hinge with the bottle label, the pop can case pieces, the pop can itself, and various promotional advertising that was made available online that I printed out. After it was glued down (the can was fun to figure out and only got flattened and attached with lots of E-6000 and flattened out with a piece of wood larger then it and then a large brick on top of that for four days). I then had fun with dry brushing red acrylic paint onto it here and there trying to give it a horror feel to go along with Chucky. Yes, I am a horror movie and thriller/horror book fan and love true crime documentaries. This was right up my style and so much fun. I also have the other Fanta horror collaborations I have worked with that I will post soon! I love junk journaling but have to have a focused design so it is more of a junk journal and collage spread. Let me know what you think and if I should post more soon.

Pop The Balloon On The Pumpkin – Great Halloween Game

733865_10151551782610266_470924686_nCreate a cutout from green paper that looks like the top of a pumpkin and attach high on a wall. Blow up orange balloons and attach with masking tape of push pins.  Use this as a display for the party or on the outside of your home for trick or treat night. Older kids, with supervision, could use a push pin to pop balloons in turn until they are all popped. Could be done for different parties making a strawberry, heart, Christmas tree, wreath etc.

Decorate with paints and trim and left over doo dads – just make sure none of it makes noise because it might scare of the birds. Make a loop with thin wire and with two punched holes in the lid (use a push pin or if you want use a very small drill hole. Make the top half go over the bottom half and glue with epoxy or E6000.
