A Halloween House

Post by **PutzinVT** » Sun Sep 25, 2016 8:36 pm

Since Will made a house, I need to make one too.
Looked like fun.

My wife is a Stampin' Up demonstrator.
She got a die set that had a house with different windows, doors and roof pattern.
I "borrowed" for a bit and cut out a house.
I then "Putz-ized" it.

Added a few embellishments.

The witch in the doorway is from Howard's website.

Going to be in the 30's tonight in Vermont.
Feeling like Fall already.

Sweet Halloween house Steve. You nailed it! Did you use luffah for leaves? Awesome piece of work.

The leaf material is a product called flower soft. A bit pricey but a little goes along way.

Just a note about the homemade "flower soft".

What I figured out after making my own using the method in the like Maria posted.

It is not styrofoam, but urethane foam that is ground up to make the base material.

I tried making mine w/ urethane foam, and you get the same look of the final material.

Question Steve:

Is the urethane foam the same stuff that foam "egg carton-style" mattress toppers are made out of? Thanks for your answer in advance!

Cheers,
Will ~
