Decoupage a Vintage Witch Halloween Photo
Pumpkin Witch by Collage Sheet Girl
Celebrate the Season with Halloween Photo Decoupage
It's quirky, fun and just plain silly
- Find an old vintage photo, the grungier the better. This will give your project a creepy Halloween look and feel.
- Don't use the original, make a copy of the print.
- Purchase sticker paper found at your local office supply store.
- Using the sticker paper, create a page of hand drawn elements using a fine tip marker.
- Draw cartoony pumpkins, wands and witch hats.
- Cut out your elements.
- Peel off the sticky backing and place.
- Finally, you can frame your finished photo with an old ornate frame or a simple frame painted black.
Have fun with this project and if you like it, please leave a comment.
Thanks for looking!

Making and Selling Decoupage Jars
Decoupage Jars
Recycled Jar Art
I have so many people interested in decoupage lessons I just copied this from my web site to share. if you like this please follow this blog. Because i will be adding more soon.
I love jars. I never throw them away. I alway re-purpose them using my images and adding a little paint and old jewelry. I use them for storage, give them as gifts, or sell them.
It is very green to recycle and it is very fun to make a little green while you are doing it.
Here Is How I recycle My Jars
I clean my jars and lids in the washer
I remove my labels under hot running water and use Goo Gone to get rid of the sticky residue.
If I am going to paint my lid I either use metal paint 2 oz. tubes I purchase at the craft store or I prime my lid with Kilz Primer and paint let that dry then paint my color.
Before I apply my image, I clean the outside of my jar again with rubbing alcohol to remove any grease.
I apply my image following the How To Make Stickers tutorial.
Or print out image using sticky paper and cover with clear contact paper to protect it.
To paint gold swirls, I use fabric paints in a tube found at the craft store.
I apply Swarovski Crystals right to the gold paint
Here is am example of using vintage jewelry on a decoupage jar.
This is so sparkling pretty!
To add vintage rhinestone jewelry like I did in the witches Brew Jar, I use a glue called E-6000 That can be found at Home Depot or any craft store.
Pricing Your Re-Purposed Jars
Many people ask me how I price my jars. The jars are basically free but for the sake of pricing I use the cost of the item plus supplies x 3 plus a little extra.
The Witches Brew jar was once strawbeery jam that cost $2.00 plus supplies of a vintage diamond necklace that cost 50 cents purchased at the flea market.
That's $2.50 x 3 = $7.50 plus I added $1.00 The price of the Witches Brew Jar is $8.50
That means not only do I get my jam for free while helping the environment, I also make money to buy more jam.
It is good to have variety of sizes and prices if you are selling jars.
Good luck with your Jar Art
Thanks

Super Close-up.... This is awesome because you can see all the details.
It not perfect it just handmade goodness! Haa Haa
I spray primed this lid with Kilz and then painted it a Girly soft pink.
Would you like to make your own Rose Jars.
