wonderful witchy royalty!

I had several girls join in the crown making fun for halloween and they all turned out sooo cool. I love them all!

This first crown was made by Linda in new mexico.
Isnt it absolutely wonderful!!
I love it!


I love how she coiled up the pieces of newspaper and also the great newspaper fan in the front! Thanks for playing along Linda!
t
hese next two crowns were made by the fabulous lulu kellogg. I love the shape of the first one and the picture of the angry sisters! (Im pretty sure thats what she called them!)



In this one she used the chicken wire which is something that I was wanting to try, but i dont want to have to buy a bunch of something Im never going to be able to use. I dont think you can buy just a small amount.. like a couple feet! Anyways, I had bought that same beware piece to use on one of my crowns, but forgot i had it! great crowns Lulu! and thanks for sharing them!


This adorable crown was made by Julie Campbell of A Vintage Chic. SOOO freaken cute.

I love the little pumpkin girl picture.

I LOVE the little hayride tickets and that the little witch with the moon pic!

Thank you so much for joining in the fun Julie!


This one was made by Jane Palmer. Again, I'm so glad she joined in the fun.
Love the spider webs on her crown and that very famous picture is one of my favorite halloween images... as is the witchy girl that linda and Julie used on theirs!


Great Job Jane! how did you do the spider web?

Really I am sooo glad these girls joined in the fun. there were a couple of others but I didnt get their pics yet, if I do get them I'll post them.

I did a google search for halloween crowns and there are quite few out there. I wouldnt usually ever take someones photo like that, but I HAD to show you this soooo awesome crown. It was made by a girl named karenlouiseM . I couldnt find out if she had a blog or flickr, so I couldnt contact her, but I LOVE her crown! There were other crowns there too, but Holly Abston and Lisa Kettell that I just loved! Anyways, that brings me to mine! You already saw the first one I made which I am reposting at the end here, but I just made this halloween candy one this week..
I had fun making it. I make them flat and then when I'm done I tie them closed with ribbon, but this one I really liked flat and was thinking about framing it open like that.

any how.. thats it for tonight.. lots of halloween fun..

Cant believe its almost here.. and soon to be gone.. and then I'm going to have to put ALL my precious halloweenie stuff away!
crown 6
Its such a big job.. and time consuming.. I'll end up leaving things out that can double for thanksgiving. I dont really have lots of thanksgiving stuff. but I'll get there..
crown 4

The thing is, there is such a short time period for having it out! really only a month. The day after thanksgiving christmas comes out!
crown 3

OK.. I'm tired and am rambling on here..
just want to say thanks again to the girls who sent me their pics!
halloween crown 2
THank God tomorrow is friday!! I'll be working on bears again this weekend..
fiinished 6 last weekend.. will show you pics sometime soon.
night night all!

Wow, such fabulous Halloween crowns! Mine is so simple compared to the rest, but now I've got lots of ideas for my next one! Hmmm, maybe I should go ahead & make another one before I pack my Halloween supplies away!

Thanks, Vivian! Such fun!

Thanks for this opportunity to join with some really talented crown makers. Viv, you're a goodie to have pulled us all into something so fun. Just for the record, and I should have told you before but mine isn't made of newspaper but from an antique Sears catalog. Not really important but I thought I'd mention it.
This was alot of fun, I gave my crown away in a Queen of Halloween giveaway and added your link to the party.
