Learn How to Create the Look of Peeling Wall Paint for Halloween, Abandoned and Aged Miniatures!

[@agneschrismer9946]

So very cool. How disturbing to think that patient had been forgotten. I would leave this out all year round. It would be great with my little family. Really awesome!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

yes the thought of a forgotten patient is so disturbing to me too, it also reminded me of the opening episode of the Walking Dead.

[@CatMom4704]

Oh just wonderful

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

I really appreciate that! So happy you enjoyed the video.

[@heathermartinez8640]

Definitely creepy! The peeling walls look great!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Thank you, I was happy to have a home for my wheelchair skeleton. I was very happy with the wall texture, it felt perfect.

[@paulaneary7877]

Great job Whitney! Very high on the Spook meter!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Yes I agree, It even creeped me out! I had it sitting on the dining table and my husband came in and was like..."babe, that's creepy, move it off the table" lol

[@jonihenry8124]

I want to do an abandoned something. This turned out really good.

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

I love abandoned projects, its remarkable how much goes into creating spaces that look destroyed...I learn new things every time I make a new project! I hope you create something soon, I'd love to see it. :)

[@Siennaflower]

Very effective! ❤

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

yaassss, very effective. What a creepy little room!

[@CajunCraft24]

I love this so much❤

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Thank you for that! My husband did not love it, and said I needed to move it out of the dining room cause it was too gross! lol

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

woot woot! yes I decorated my dining room today for Halloween, since I'm starting a little early this year, I'm going to take my time and enjoy the process!

[@jenpink4298]

That is a whole lot of creepy packed into a tiny little space! You have such a good eye for those details that really bring it to… Life? 😂 And I love the wheelchair, it’s perfect in here

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

hahahaha! yes...life? Was so happy to make a home for my little skeleton and wheelchair!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

The hair really made it creepier, yes I'm already half way into a Halloween project which is unusual for me too!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

That's so great, what project are you working on, a mini or something totally different? I am happy with the hair, I feel that now that its dry I could mess it up a bit more!

[@lindacleveland3923]

Omg!! This is awesome ❤

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

@@lindacleveland3923 everyone is talented in some way girl!!! Maybe your talent is making people feel wonderful 🥰I’m doing well, my “real” job is quite demanding so sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed, I haven’t been able to focus on my channel as much as I’d like lately but other than that, I’m doing well and feeling good about the holidays around the corner 🎃🍗🎄

[@lindacleveland3923]

@WhitneyLaBrie aww ty!! ☺️ my "job" is stressing me out but I can't believe it's almost Halloween I'm ready except there's always a million clowns around here!! Someone should ban clowns!!! I'm glad to know your doing good!! Your channel will be here and your subscribers will be here too!! 😀

[@RiverCityMiniatures]

Omg you have a daiso near you! I'm so jealous! We don't have any in the Midwest that I'm aware of. This project turned out amazing. I wish I had your motivation. Lol Quick question about the walls. Do you think adding a crackle medium to one of the paint layers might add some of that curled peeling paint look that you sometimes see in old spooky rooms like these? Like when the paint almost comes completely off, but is still hanging there somehow in a miraculous, undisturbed decay sort of way.

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

My first experience with Daiso was in Texas, not sure if that's considered Mid-west, but every time I go back there I have to go to this store, now we have them closer to where I live in CA. I love that store for so many reasons I love the idea of the crackle medium..I will have to experiment. I think it could work with the right foundation! Maybe not on the latex cause it's rubbery and it may make the paint bounce back on you. But now I'm curious!

[@vickinoeske1154]

Spooky cool, Whitney! All it needs (imo) is a patients chart attached at the end of the bed.💀🖤

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

oh man that's a great idea! Ok I must add that!

[@ghoulgoil5029]

Cool. I love it. I’m goth all year round but I add more traditional Halloween decor around this time of the year. I was gonna suggest The Shining, but you did it already 😂. We recently rewatched it (we’ve been watching all the old & classic scary movies) and I have to say, I hated it lol! I wonder what projects you’ll come up with this Halloween.

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

My BFF is also goth all year! I love going to her house cause it always feels like Halloween and I love it. I also love all the holidays and so I like for my house to reflect all of them when the seasons arrive. I'll be doing a few projects this season including E.T.

This is phenomenal. There is a certain skill to making things look genuinely old and decrepit,a finesse to it. This is a perfect example!! Well done!!

[@charlesperez9976]

Also,I am overdue for my silliness,as I would once again like to say how much I love seeing your watch 🤣 I do! I love the way it just twinkles about on your wrist,sometimes flashing alight,like magic😊 You know that I like to mention this from time to time,I just adore it!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Awe thank you! I had to take it off for a bit, I was getting quite a tan line, which is unusual because I stay away from the sun as much as I can, but I took my sister and her friends to Disney recently and boom...tan lines or should I say sunburn lines! I love creating these spooky scenes, its remarkable how much you learn from creating a delapitated scene versus something shiny and new, its amazing how much technique is needed!

[@charlesperez9976]

Well thanks for telling me your watch story😅 It’s so super cute on you! Regarding aging things: I specialize in ivory/bone carving,and one of the key points of aging is the application of henna. Henna binds to proteins,which bone and ivory are,and it browns it up magnificently! I can create tribal artifacts that are not tribal artifacts at all,it’s a delicate balance of henna application,combined with very subtle fine grit sanding

[@panacheluxury4262]

How macabre, but so creative. Excellent work, Whitney!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

yes I like a little macabre this time of year! I made a little spooky fairy last year and actually named it Macabre! lol

[@barbararosensteel8031]

Wow this turned out so great! So spooky!! I definitely would scream if I came upon this scene in real life 🥺

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

oh me too for sure! I would scream if I came up on this in a haunted house, even knowing it was fake! lol For as much as I love the spooky things, I'm really a scardy cat!

[@thedollcupboard]

The wall is crazy realistic! Ok those blue cloths are exactly what we use in the hospital! Never seen those before 😮 Such a fabulous room. I totally remember that wheelchair. The hair! Ya totally scary! 😱 🎃✨

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Right!? When I saw those blue towels I was like I've seen these before in skilled nursing homes. I love this creepy space and I was so happy to find a home for my little skeleton and wheel chair!

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

Brilliant! You nailed the haunted abandoned vibe for sure. It looks just like one of those ghost hunter sites. You've taught me a bunch of new techniques that I will have to remember. Like you, I love ghost hunting shows too, heck I even used to go ghost hunting with a small team way back before the pandemic. I think a lot of people would be surprised just how many places have some kind of presence lurking about!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

Yes I love that, I have done some ghost hunting myself. Super fun and very spooky. I prefer to watch it on t.v. versus actually going anywhere, I dont like the idea of bringing anything home with me if you know what I mean!

My October project coming up will be right up your alley or should I say Down your hall ..maybe the room next door..lol ❤😍

When installing the magnets, make sure that they are all correctly lined up with regards to their North and South ends. Nothing worse than trying to connect your pieces only to find that one of the magnets are fitted to repel!

this is totally great advise! I did almost do that on one of them because I dropped it right before install! ugh
