I haven't tried of heard of that stuff. I tried Clearcote by Plaid from Michael's. How well does Modge Podge work? I don't want the actual glass to look coated, just the decals.
It could be patience that I have, it could be intense obsession too! I was up until midnight working on the glasses last night!
The glasses were a TOTAL score: 20 for $15! I bought them a week ago and I'm still super excited! Problem is, I have 40 people so far planning on coming to my party so I need more glasses and a bigger apartment!
I will post a picture when I finish my wreath. I'm so excited about all my project and am happy to show them off!

Great work! I need to see if I can find that candy corn! I used to have the Glitterville garland but didn't like it. I liked the idea of it, but just didn't like dealing with the candy unwrapping. I ended up selling it in my yardsale this Spring. I didn't have to pay for it originally, though. I got it through D56's home party when they used to do them.

I haven't had time to post follow up pictures of my projects, so here I go!
My wreath with pumpkin #2. #1 was brutally butchered on my front door. RIP #1! He lights up and the colors change.

My Pottery Barn bone stand with a Hot Blood lining the I can remove and put back on. The mummy plate stand which I intend to redo the base on.

Candy garland. The coffins and bats are Dollar Tree foam stickers I decorated.

My apothecary cabinet with some close ups...

The apartment decorated for the party…
The bathroom when the fogger was doing what I wanted it to.

The boys touching up their toothrot!

My table stuffed with food and decorations! You can hardly see my devil footed cake plate which has jello cups on top. It is really cute!

The shelf in the hallway....

Two shots of the living room with the scene setters, lanterns and spiderweb ceiling.


Here is a very crowded bedroom, but I really like how the Dollar Tree bones lined the curtain!

Here you can see some of the scene setter borders I had up as well as the bloody plastic table cloth dividers I put up.

The prop that my cousin made. I kept telling guests I had a bun in the oven and would point to the oven.


Whew!
The End.... for now!

Wow, wow, wow! Don't know what more to say. Everything looked simply amazing! And all the details in your cabinet...wow! That baby in the oven was really over the top lol I want more closeups of ALL those things in that cabinet and instructions on how you made it!
That winged creature in the display case is just as cool as the one voodoo willy made. You have a really creative and artist touch.
