Halloween Page Without Having All The THINGS! 👻🎃 Step-By-Step Tutorial

[@lindabsstitchesstuff2728]

Well done Barbara, using just items on hand, without all the ready made creepies and crawlies. And beautiful too.

[@kadieb1020]

I cannot help but to talk to you through the whole video I love when we have the same idea and we move the animal or the piece to the right place as each other is thinking it's part of my friendship with you that you don't know about😂😂😂😂

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw that’s so cute! ❤️☺️

[@rachelpatten8889]

Simple items made into something spectacular!🎉🎉🎉. This could be a cool shadow box that you can put out at this spooky time of year. The raven could rejoin the group as a frame element.

[@priscillamontoya]

You are a genius, Barbara, truly! I always say Brayed Furlap and can't go back now. 😅

[@49dragonflies]

😂😂😂

[@joannagg9707]

Brilliant. I love how you work your design and use your mistakes as well. Fascinating.

[@LeighReiki]

I’m usually “meh…” when it comes to seasonal pages with ghosts and goblins. But I just love your creepy take on the Halloween theme! So much so that I’m gonna give a spooky page a go, and I never thought that I’d say that! Thanks for the inspiration. 🕷️🕷️🕷️

[@49dragonflies]

That’s awesome! 😃

[@arlettepasche1219]

Absolutely gorgeous, love it ! Thank you so much Barbara for all your wonderful artworks ❤️❤️

[@tonyashatley5040]

Ooo! I love it! What a great Halloween page without actually having Halloween items! I actually love how the wallpaper turned out!

[@cindycreateforlife]

I think your page is much better than the regular “Halloween” ephemera, it has a very authentic look! I don’t like Halloween personally but I love your page and creativity! Love it when you say brayed furlap!🤣💕🇨🇦

[@teresitalamas5304]

I tell you Barbara I never saw in my mind the end result. But you nailed Halloween spooky page! Just loving it☠️👻🎃

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@judylarson6719]

WOW! What fun! Turned out very Halloweenish. Glad you put her in your journal.

[@pambotter355]

Barbara! This is the coolest page! That background! Love it. The lady with wings and spider so cool. This is a perfect Halloween page! Loved watching you creating it. TFS! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@pambotter365]

You’re so welcome!! ❤

[@heathersullivan8494]

What an awesome piece of ephemera!! Looks amazing Barbara!

[@cathyskrehot8925]

For someone who had no Halloween "stuff", you did a fabulous job. Love how it turned out. Nicely done!

[@gabrielearmbruster6226]

Liebe Barbara deine Seite ist so was von genial geworden . Ich bin begeistert wie das Thema umgesetzt hast und das obwohl ich mit Halloween nix am Hut habe. Aber du bist ja auch eine tolle Künstlerin ❤

[@mahahemimi]

The page turned out spooky! A great example of using what we already have in our stash. Thanks for sharing, Barbara! 🖤

[@stephanieschneider3618]

❤❤❤quelle créativité !!!! C'est magnifique, et tellement mieux que des dies ou die cut, j'adore ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lynndavis9432]

Ha...using bat wings is perfect! I have some collage books with bats and mean looking birds that I will never use in my usual crafting...but now I have ideas! Thanks for the inspiration! Your spray sheet is also looking yummy...I imagine it will show up in a project at some point. 😊

[@49dragonflies]

Wonderful! Have fun! 😃❤️

[@robinknutson8765]

Just enough to be spooky. Love it

[@catherinekelly8097]

Really, it’s about the “candy” you have and not about the stuff you have to buy! Great inspiration and encouragement!

[@NatureSpiritJournals]

Das ist eine sehr schöne Seite geworden! Ich finde es gut verschiedene Sachen zu mischen, so wird alles noch einzigartiger. Ich bin generell der Meinung, man sollte schauen, was man zuhause hat und das mixen, dabei entstehen interessante Seiten. Eine SchönheitsOp an einer Paperdoll, sehr gut! Hihi! Liebe Grüße Nicole

[@KateriBurnett]

Barbara Wow!!! This turned out so good. You go girl😊😆 I don’t do or have any Halloween stuff either or maybe I do as you have shown us 😊😊 love it.

[@chiagirlmyfatcat896]

I literally laughed out loud the third time that paper ripped 😂. Great insert for your October journal. Love the elements you used. That paper you sprayed on is now great fodder!! Love those nuetral colours together! You DO NOT NEED 😊all things Tim holtz!😊

[@cibinskymojo5750]

What an absolutely BRILLIANT page!!! It's incredible what you did with with all the staining and distressing. I wish I had the talent you have! Thank you for the crafting lessons and the inspiration.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! I believe it’s passion and curiosity rather than talent. You can do this! ❤️

[@lauracerezo7623]

That turned out perfect for Halloween! 👏

[@LidaJoy]

Love it! Turned out spook-tacular! 👻😊

[@margaretcomella3318]

I think this turned out PERFECTLY!! Just creepy enough! I was calling for you to put the spider in her hair because I think that's the worst of the bunch to have in my hair!😵 And it worked perfectly with keeping the word exposed! All the things that "went wrong" ended up being great!👍👍 Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@ИевлеваКатя]

My internet reception is glitching out just as you're showing the creepy insects and spiders, i think i've been spared😂

[@prof.mommyarty]

Lol ooh spooky 🙊

[@lyndacrawford521]

The spider in her hair is my favorite ❤

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara:sensational looking! Carol from California

[@genevieveDawn6542]

The ripped wallpaper ended up looking like it had been peeled off the wall and it's amazing!

[@alli_went_bonkers]

From now on, it's Brayed Furlap," in your honor (I think it could stick)!😆 Love it (and I love your artistic determination)!😘

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much!! I’m honored! ☺️❤️

[@alli_went_bonkers]

@49dragonflies Don't be silly! You honor us all by sharing your creativity. You are really very talented!😘

[@dbabybear]

I think adding a veil made of grungy cheesecloth would make it even creepier 😬 and it is so cool that you used regular items to make this project.

[@69Sugah]

For you to NOT know how you are going to start your page or what you are going to do with the elements and images you have chosen, your pages ALWAYS turn out beautifully, Barbara. Great page. 🎃👻🔥💋

[@carolmc1744]

This recycled image page is fantastic!!

[@dawnhiggins6802]

Your talent is amazing! Love this

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

You did good. You see it's good to get out of comfort zone occasionally. We all have to challenge ourselves sometimes

[@nicolecalhoun7670]

Barbara, this is just gorgeous! I love how you use what you have! I buy so much I never use! Ty for sharing! Love u and ur art!!!❤❤❤

[@jeannetimme7337]

Love all the embossing, etc! The spider in her hair and her bat wings make it so creepy.

[@theresaamato5776]

I love how that came out!! 😊

[@susietruelove3657]

For not having any thing Halloween you did a fantastic job

[@annette8051]

Not into Halloween at my age (72)but am impressed with your attempt here. 😊

[@tharp2499]

For not having any "Halloween" supplies...This is amazing, Barbara!!🤩 I so enjoy learning from your "happy little accidents".😉 I L🖤🖤🖤VE the way the dyes stained the tears in the Damask wallpaper. It looks like weathered wood. It's just beautiful! Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year.👻👀💀 Thank you for all of the inspiration.💗 Blessings, from California.💜💜💜

[@iliketocutandpaste]

I love that you used creepy animals from the books. That is brilliant! Awesome project! :)

[@paulette44martin]

Perfect look, my kind of Spooky.

[@izzyp.1763]

Thank you for another great video 😊 I love the idea of using what you have, goes to show you can take anything and turn it Halloweeny if you like 👍 ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Yes! Thank you! ❤️

[@francesferguson5398]

You are so creative and inspiring. That also would have made a wonderful journal cover ❤

[@Trueivorydesigns]

You’re so talented! Love!!

[@amychuck2357]

Barbara!!!!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY L❤VE the way this “spooky” cover came out. Fabulous job!!!!!

[@wendyk2557]

I loved watching you put this page together. I much prefer brayed furlap....

[@49dragonflies]

😃❤️

[@lisas7025]

I loved watching how you put this together and just kept going even though it wasn't going as planned at first. Thank you for showing us how to look at things differently and come up with something amazing when you don't have all the "stuff"!

[@ItadakimashuU]

It was too funny to see you constantly ripping into the wallpaper, but it turned out grungy and very yummy!!!

[@lindabenny4454]

I love watching you laugh at yourself, you make my day. I nearly wet myself when you were distressing the wallpaper. Great project idea with a fantastic end result! 💜🧡🖤

[@49dragonflies]

Glad you enjoyed it 😃❤️

[@debrak5314]

Amazing, simply amazing!!

[@novallasuter5265]

Oh, this gloriously ghoulishly spooky. Great job.

[@robinknutson8765]

Wow strong wallpaper.

[@carolgefre2643]

I think it's so funny the way you say Frayed Burlap backwards I actually didn't catch that until you said something. This is so cool Love the way it turned out and does show you don't have to have all the Halloween ephemera to make a grungy spooky journal card.

[@angelaarnold4255]

I’m so glad you used the backside of the black glittery paper. All of the inks and water made the grungy factor go through the roof. I think your Halloween page turned out so good!! And I love the way “accidents” like the way the Wallpaper ripped downwards in what seemed to be too much at first, ended up being one of those things you couldn’t have planned to be so good. Lol. A Happy accident. I love this page. It was perfect for the end of the October signature. ♥️♥️♥️

[@EucARTs]

Liebe Barbara! Ich bin auch nicht unbedingt ein Halloweenfan. Deshalb begeistert mich deine kreierte Seite um so mehr! Super toll gemacht! Love it!

[@lidimaparis4799]

I love watching your process and how each element adds up to a cohesive, interesting and aesthetically pleasing piece. Thank you Barbara

[@allisonjames2923]

As a Halloween baby I approve this creation 😁

[@alysonhovanec6314]

Wonderful Barbara!! ❤❤❤❤

[@prof.mommyarty]

Yay bats! (I have a bat tatoo!) Ugh yucky spiders lol and angry owls 😄. Oh I scored loads if leftover black glittery wallpaper, so happy (you'll see some in my Halloween flip through soon). Yay 🙌brayed furlap 🙌. Yes I like the grungy side 😍. I LOVE the bat wings, you mind if I pinch that idea 💡? He's so angry 🙈. I love it, it's right up my street! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! Yes, please pinch the idea! And pls send me a video link for your flip through once it’s done! Hugs! ❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Yes I definitely will honey and I'll probably use the wings with your haunted kit which I LOVE 😍😍😍

[@GayleRobinson-bu2vt]

SWEET! This looks great! I was SURE you were adding color that would be way too dark but I WAS WRONG!!! I can't believe that sparkly black paper was wall paper. Who on earth would want that black sparkle on their walls (as least I understood you to say it was wall paper)? The tag on the owls foot was an extra special touch! You are so creative. I'm in awe. Great video!

[@donnamorina7846]

Brayed furlap! 🤣! I love how this turned out and if someone did not have the distress inks or die cuts, etc., a similar effect could still be created with watercolors or acrylics in dark colors. I love this design you created!

[@cyndieevans5628]

I had to stop the video and just say that watching all those accident tears ... I would have thrown in the towel.. but in my head I'm thinking " at the end of it all Barbara is going to create something absolutely gorgeous out of this as she always does". ok back to the video to watch until the end when I'm proven right. Well you surpassed my expectations!! That turned out incredible!! I have no idea how you do it.. but I'm in awe and inspired!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ☺️❤️

[@4GraceCreations]

How much fun is that. I do have to tell you that I was laughing right along with you. I love that.

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

And of course, it’s amazing! You make nothing less! 😂 I am making a Halloween journal and this is so inspiring! It would be a perfect topper for my journal! Hugs 🎃👻🦉❤

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thank you! Have fun with yours! ❤️

[@chuckkolb1270]

Well done. Your creative juices were flowing for this one.

[@dianadee23]

Really love this .

[@hollymaudsley3187]

So cool! Love it!

[@mbutler599]

Fabulous 👀🦇🦉 🎃

[@devinchatwood5217]

I am so impressed by how creepy you made that out of ordinary items!! Well done! Love it 🎃❤️💚

[@jennifercampbell2432]

I love how this project turned out but I was thinking you could add glossy accents to the spider & owl eyes so they look more creepy

[@craftingexperiments-StellaT]

I am really not into Halloween things but this page was good!!! It's the idea, the synthesis that matters, I believe, not the exact elements themselves. Thank you Barbara.

[@loribaca9065]

Oh how cool are the bat wings behind her? I love the grumpy owl.

[@TubeYouLena]

Delightfully terrifying! So stylish! The cheesecloth can also be used as a veil on a hat (for the paper doll's head). The spider could reside on the hat as well. But that would obscure the 'memory'... so not for this project, no.

[@lenawarelius4195]

Woow😍😍😍 and when you hold the spider in your hand... 😨😨 thank you for sharing some afordebul options🙏 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌼🏵🍁🍀

[@luv_paper_ribbon]

I absolutely love this! I would’ve never thought of using those images from a book. Great job!

[@katherinec3463]

Super fun!!

[@janillingsworth7478]

Hurrah! Brayed furlap. So sweet Barbara. Love your halloween piece. You are so skilled and imaginative.❤

[@jayneelinor]

Looks great! Giggled at the brayed furlap!😂

[@annaengberg]

This looks fabulous! 🤩And, I do love hat you said 'braid furlap'! I've missed that! 😄

[@ManuelaFantasieArt]

Ich finde es super, man braucht nicht immer nur Stanzteile, hast du toll gemacht🥰

[@msbecky]

That turned out so cute, spooky but not scary, great job!!!!

[@nataliechim5227]

Amazing Halloween page. Thank you for showing what you can do with the supplies you have.

[@christacreations]

Love this page! You pay so much attention to every little detail.

[@HappilyEllaAfter]

❤

[@bluemuf]

Barbara, I love, love, the Halloween page. Worked out perfectly. 🦇🎃Karen 🇨🇦

[@ValTwineDeaner]

You're an amazing artist, and this is superb. I was willing you to put the spider in her hair, and I cheered when you did it!! 😅 Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Also, I saw a video recently, where an artist was advised to shake ink spray bottles, side to side rather than up and down, because she was told it doesn't clog up the hole in the spray bit. I tried it recently, and it has worked so far, so I thought I'd pass the tip on. There's nothing worse is there, than having lots of ink left, but it just won't spray. Take care Barbara, xx❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@marusnak1113]

Best scary bats I've seen and some pretty horrid spiders. Pretty spooky sound trying to tear the wallpaper. Great overall!

[@maryannschuetz5155]

🖤🖤🖤

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Love how this came out….so much fun going through this adventure with you❤

[@sandikalin636]

❤❤❤ I’m glad you reminded us to look around and go through our stuff. I know I have tons and tons of stuff that I’m not using that I could use. This turned out spectacularly spooky. Love it Barbara

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Happy you feel inspired to use your stuff! ❤️

[@MH-ly3zs]

very cool halloweeny page with just the right amount of creepyness thanks for sharing

[@alishaking1561]

Fabulous!

[@lindacurl6337]

Awesome!
