Happy Halloween everyone ,

Had so much fun making the Grandfather Clock ( thank you all for the compliments ) from cardboard I decided I needed a fireplace to go with it . Same idea as the clock with the mirror frames,plastic web and skulls from Dollar Store , fake fire from a yard sale ($2) and the Spirit cemetery fence from a garage sale ($2) .

Thank you all for taking time out of your Halloween clean up to look and comment on the fireplace . Having a great time looking through everyone's posts .

"Saruman of Many Colours:
Very nicely done! Love the finish. How did you achieve the green patina? "

Saruman , I think the green patina is a trick of the camera . wish I could take credit for it .

"frogkid11:
You are the master at cardboard conversion!!! Congrats on another fantastic looking project. Where did the picture frames come from that adorn the sides with the skulls in the middle? "
Frogkid11 , the frames on the sides are the plastic mirror frames from Dollarama . I removed the mirrors , repainted , added tabs to the back to push through the cardboard and glued them on .

Here is a photo of the fireplace lit with webbing and lighting . Lots more added to the scene but still transferring pictures from camera .

Looking forward to seeing all of your pictures once the dust settles from this years Halloween .

Great job. I love recycling and inexpensive; you have a way of making your projects look like they cost a bunch. I loved your clock as well and pinned it for inspiration. Now I have two ideas to steal...ahem...I mean borrow. Imitation is the best form of flattery and all that....:D

Found both the clock and fireplace on Pinterest and looking forward to seeing your next project.
