As I was browsing at Michael’s hobby shop I saw this wooden skeleton and I thought it would make a great decoration for my front door for Halloween.
Wooden skeleton
Hot glue large lima and baby lima beans to skeleton. I also used navy beans for the smaller areas. Think about where you are going to place the beans. The large limas make great teeth! I also used the large limas for the long bones in the arms and legs. The baby limas made great toes and navy beans were used for the fingers.
I spray painted the skeleton ivory to make it more bone like.
Search your local thrift store for picture frames. I really wanted to get something more ornate, but couldn’t find what I was looking for so I ended up with this frame for $1.
I distressed the frame with some paint I had. I just got a rag and wiped the paint on and then took it off. I used an ivory shade an touches of yellow.
I hot glued the skeleton to the frame and glued some black silk roses to the corners. I added the ribbon to hang it up.
I think it turned out really cute…don’t you?
