From Ferrero to Gotherro

I got myself a black Acrylic spray paint that can be used indoor. I have a few cans of black spray paint that leaves room unusable for a 12h and I'm not a fan of those. But this thing is a miracle. 
Just look what I did with the empty chocolate box. It took like 30 min. to revamp it :D


I got Ferrero Rocher for my birthday and kept the box. And one day ...



It was transform into one fitting to be used by me :D Have no idea what to keep in it...


It would be a nice gift with or without chocolate ;)

Creations for myself: Sweet chocolate hair clip

I used to love working with polymer clay. But now I use it only for making deer horns for my headbands. And my skills got all rusty. Now As I look at my new spontaneous creation I see what Could be done better. But I still like it. I don't know If I ever gonna wear it. Maybe I'll use it for a give away on Tumblr :D Being a little bit lazy for no reason...

DIY: Dead man finger tutorial

So, here's a simple tutorial how to make a finger part for any decoration ideas. You can use glue it on a pin, a bow, a hairband, even make a brooch out of it or a necklace. Just a simple spooky accessory for those in love with zombies and horror stuff.

 I use DAS modeling material for my projects. Polymer clay is also good.Then the "finger" will be more light.  You also need a spatula and some water.

Take little peace of modeling material....

...and form a plain "finger".

 gently squeeze it  to sections just like in a picture, this will let you form limbs.

Roll the parts you squeezed  between your fingers to make them more smooth. You'll notice that the main limb is now formed very nicely

Take a spatula and press in the nail.
Now add wrinkles to the limbs using the same spatula. A knife is also good for this.

 Here how it should look. 

 Now gently bend it

And let it dry for 24 hours. The bending gives  a better shape if you'll use it as a hair pin. and it looks more natural to me. You can choose not to do it.

 Now, when the finger is dry, just paint the nail how ever you like. You can add some red color to make it look freshly cut, to dye it green. Or do both for a zombie effect ;)

Now it's ready to be used... as a pin, bow decoration or even a pendant. Just don't forget to make a loop when it's still soft if you planing to wear it a s a pendant. Or you can use dough and make some nice treats for Halloween or your birthday..or any other time you feel like cracking some fingers ;)

Have a nice DIY;)

Holidays gifts wrapping. Do it in style

It's a tradition  for me to return home for Christmas despite how much I hate spending three hours in a train with all packages (present) of mine. And I'm working on 24th, so that means I'll have to take  a train early in the morning of 25th. 
Yesterday I was backing cookies all day long. I'll have no time latter so I decided to do it on my day off. Now I must to resist and not devour them :D They are so tasty. Need to remember the recipe.
I'll leave the packing for the last day. I've found very pretty wrapping paper with golden and white ornament on a black background :D How ever, most of my present won't have a certain form so, I'll just use a organza bags and keep the beautiful wrapping paper for future gifts :)
I usually do not Gothicize the gifts. I always want, but some how I end not doing it. I'll add some bats this year...maybe. 

How ever, here's some inspiring wrapping:

So elegant. The wood element brings out the warm. You can actually buy it here.

For your family males. Source

I find lace on gift packages to be adorable accent. Source


Why not decorate your present with stamps?

Learn how to make them:


Other cute wrappings


Simple but cute. Black paper/ white snowflake? Why not ;)

News paper can be handy too :)

I love simplicity :) It's stand out from ordinary wrapping and is so personal.

 And what about making your own present bag?? Tutorial here.
So, you are welcome to use the ideas if you haven't prepared your gifts jet ;)

New, creations - Lolita heart


Here's my last creations. The heart with a lock and a Key pendant :) This heartomania is still with me and I keep on making hearts. I tried to change the form but none would fit so perfectly as heart...




The key was made for a change. A comment from a bf "I would give it to you as a present if it wasn't made by you" :)




Thanks for watching :) More goodies at  my Etsy store

DIY: Gothic frame hooks

So, in one post I have mentioned I bought framed hooks similar to these.

The pictures were not very impressive but I had an idea to change them to fit my taste. So I ripped off the pics, painted all frames in black acrylic paints and with a smallest paint brush I could find I draw a new pic.
And here is the result.



They hang in our kitchen,as you see.

You can have many different variation with these such as




I like this last the most. I'm thinking about making more of them. You can glue your or your friends pictures, paint the frames, glue beads to it or decorative flowers. Glue details like bats, skulls, cameos. Glue something into the frame like tiny cup, parasol or any pendant you don't wear any more. You can put a mirror in, or a love letter. There are many options:)

It's just a tiny details for now. I still want my bloody bath with bloody mat and curtains. A mirror with candel holders in the vestibule and other stuff. But since it's only a second month for us living here we have only posters and my handmade bats.



 As you can see I am a fan of pillows :D Photo taken while preparing for a BJD fan meet :) new clothes end etc. My little boy will be neo East military man or something like that. Lots of black and some red :D

I just learned that Bullet for my Valentine is quite a nice band. All my life for unknown reason I was confusing them for My chemical romance :((( Only when I saw this poster that is now  hanging on our wall, I realized my mistake :/

We got the place absolutely empty, so the first thing on our list was furniture. Now that we got it, we'll do more decorations.
