Those skulls still look amazing in the fire pit and the lights look like coils still burning slightly. Don’t be discouraged because you had to redo it. I’m tired of seeing fake crafters, be real. That’s what encourages people like me at home watching your videos. We need to see that other crafters mess up just like we do.
Well you came to the right place my friend! I am always sharing my mistakes and struggles. There are a lot of people who don’t like to see that part but I will always share how I could have done something different or better so anyone trying to recreate it doesn’t make the same mistakes 🥰
@@angelajonesdiy that’s what I like. You always have beautiful work. I like that you show the real in crafting. I made a mistake yesterday, I learned something from it. Win! When you share your mistakes, others learn something from it. Win! Win!!
Your work is Awesome.
Love your ideas!
@@angelajonesdiyI appreciate you doing this! This is how we all learn from each other❤
I think you are way to hard on yourself Angela. Your crafts are gorgeous ! As the late great Bob Ross would say he only makes " Happy Accidents" . I believe that's what you can say about your burning skulls. Keep your chin up kiddo and keep smiling. You're doing an amazing job! Love your channel!
I love that you include mistakes and messes, it helps us to learn!
Thanks for showing your mistakes. Love seeing that everyone can make mistakes and still come out with great projects. These were all fantastic!
I'm glad you also showed something that didn't turn as well as you wanted, it's a nice way to learn for us.
I would use these all for year round decor 😂 Girl you’re so talented!
This was a lot of fun to watch!!! that last one turned out pretty cool when you plugged it in and I was really enjoying watching you wrestle that spray foam. THANKS for the cool video and ideas.
Hahaha it was definitely a struggle. Lessons were learned
Girl that fire pit is amazing. I love it. And thank you for being real and showing mistakes. I make mistakes all the time and feel like I am the only one. So it's refreshing to see someone else make mistakes too.
I'm not into skulls but, I like the way the planter turned out and the mirror.... I appreciate all the work that went into it. As a crafter I am lazy and don't spend a lot of time on projects so kudos to you and others that do take the time .
Love these crafts.
i LOVE you including the fails. i was so stressed and laughing at the same time with the foam fire pit.
Love all of the skulls!!! The burn pit turned out awesome!!
i actually love the planter skull pot... that is a really cool effect... glad i found you.
Thanks for showing us your entire process - mistakes & all. ❤
Wow I love the mirror 🪞 it’s so creepy and cool!
I love the fire pit! You did a wonderful job salvaging it!
I would love to come to your house at Halloween just to see the decorations. Awesome. OMG that doll on the rocking horse she's beautiful.
These all turned out great!! Even the last one that you had trouble with it looks really good. I like when you show your mishaps or when things don’t go as planned. As crafters it happens to us all and if we want to recreate your projects then we know what to do and what not to do. The main thing is that you didn’t give up and trash it you kept going until it looked good! Love your work and your channel!!😀❤
Thank you so much! I love to share the full process. Good bad and ugly. Like you said it is meant to help so you don’t make the same mistakes 🥰🥰
On the skull mirror, I liked his hands “backwards”, he looked very menacing to me ! Btw, I would of put them backwards too 😊😂☺️
🤣
Fire pit turned out great. I couldn't have thought that up and I'm happy you did.
Love the geode skull!!!
Loved everything!
I have heard that when you put the mirror into a frame after spraying it like that that it shows up better if you put black paper or poster board behind the mirror.
I LOVE all of your work, girl you got skills and talent for sure!! You are doing amazing!
Thank you I’ll have to try putting a black background behind it
Ok, I like where you’re going with the fire pit, and it gives me loads of ideas. I personally liked seeing your “mistake” because it happens to everyone and that’s how we learn! Cheers!
Amazing! Your imagination and talent are awesome.
Im in love with the skulls in the coals...it looks so cool! I think i wanna do it myself
They all turned out good, girl! I LOVE the last one! I think that one is my favorite! Thank you for sharing and being real with us!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I really thought the skull planters were a great idea , loved the colors you chose to paint them with!
love the mirror !
I love all your project. Great job. It's good to see your foam mistakes before I do my cauldern and wreath.
After I finished my project I saw someone do a wreath in a similar way and wish I had done that instead. It looks so cool. Good luck with yours 🥰
Wow you had some excellent ideas!! The skull with the geode was cool! I think your skulls with the spray foam look good, great job on all!!! 💕💕💕💕 💀 💀💀💀
Hey we learn from each others mistakes and they still turned out super cool! I think these ideas are really neat.
These are all pretty great even the last one that you get that turned out as well and you wanted it to looks pretty good
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing 😊
The fire pit looks really good.
What absolute fun!!! You did an awesoe job on all these projects. Love it!
Thanks so much! 🥰
These are really cute. Love the little succulent planters. ;)
Very cool designs. Love the creepy effects. You did an amazing job. Loved all of them.
Thank you so much! 🥰
i love the skull mirror it is superb, i wish we had a dollar tree here in the uk, the poundland is very limited and no skulls!
The fire pit is awesome
These are flipping amazing!!
Thanks friend 🥰
I think they all look good. I think my favorite is the fire pit. It turned out really well after all the trouble it was.
Using the moss sheets was a very good idea. I make Borax crystals and I think they would grow well on the sheets since they have something to grab onto.
I'm glad you included your 'disaster' with the expanding spray foam. So many crafters only post their 'perfect' creations which can be very frustrating for folks that want to try it. Perhaps next time you can make your foam piece first and let it harden, then drill holes for your lights?
I watched a video a couple days ago where the guy used a spray bottle (water) on the foam to keep it from puffing up as much as it would without it. Then he was also able to pat it down with his hands, layer, and spray again, and pat to get the form he wanted.
You could also cut divots in your foam for the bottoms of your skulls if you want them to sit down in the foam a little. Maybe a skeleton hand coming off the side of the cauldron.
Oooo I’m early today!! Can’t wait to see the projects!! ❤❤
They all came out great!! Even the one at the end!! It still looks creepy and totally how it’s supposed to!! The little skulls literally look perfect because they look charred.
I loveeeddd the first project - the stacked skulls and of course the geodes skull!!! Absolutely great work as always!!! You are one of my top faves always. You are so talented and creative!! Def have so many of your videos saved in a playlist of ideas to try. Like so so many! Thanks for all the inspiration and sharing your talent!!! ❤❤
Thank you so much, I love that you are finding inspiration from my projects! This is what it’s all about for me 🥰🥰
Loved each of these skull creations…even the last one with the foam! And that doll on the rocking horse sure added some real creepy vibes! Really loved this video so much and your creativity is awesome to watch. The decor in your home at Halloween time is so cool!!
Thanks mom 🥰
I must say, i think your stacked skulls are AWESOME! I LOVE your faux mirror.
Thank you 🥰
That geode one would look really cool with a stone type texture on the rest of the skull, just a thought. Love what you do, great videos.
❤❤ absolutely love the mirror skull and bedazzled skull , last year I did skelton hands and the mirror from dollar tree and made them, now I use them to hold my necklaces.❤ and this year I took a small 💀 skull the cup one from dollar tree. And turned that into a makeup brush holder. And I also made hear no evil and speak and see evil mini skeltons for decor
You did great 👍👍👍👍👍
Put some lights that look like fire around the skulls in the planter it will look like fire 🔥
Super cool. I saw video ,stopped an ran for supplys. Plus that old real rusty pit. I threw someunfished burnt branches, some foam, few feet red lights near outer edge foam. Let sit. Hour more foam, lights, body parts, few skulls, amber lights, hour wait. Last of red add twinkle bulb, foam, rest amber an last skulls and hand that points single finger palm up. Hour wait then sponge paint omgosh wow... now to find cool view spot. I have a old rectangle heat/fire pit that sits table half side won't work... but gave me idea foam, smaller skulls lights... inside hidden propane I'm going to add either dry ice or small fog unit i have. Thanks for the fire pit ideas
I subscribed! Fun tutorials, thanks 🎃🎃
Excellent! But that baby on the rocking horse! 😯💀😈🧡
So fun! Love the ominous music, too. 😅 I need to get a hot knife. I do believe the geode was one of my favorites but really enjoyed them all. ❤👍
Hot knifes are great for so many things! I think I got mine pretty inexpensive from Walmart and it has a bunch of different attachments. It is a wood burning tool but has the knife tip as one of the attachments
@@angelajonesdiy oh good lord, thank you! I've had one the whole time! 🙄🤭
Genius
That fire pit is seriously scary (in more ways than one!)
What do you mean the skull cauldron isn't your favorite & didn't turn out!?! It's freakin' awesome, & look at all the fun you had gooping around with that foam! Epic! I must try this. Think how cool flickering orange lights would be...
Thank you! It does look pretty cool I was just picturing it to turn out a little different in my mind
Mistakes? I don't mind your mistakes! I'm a professional prop maker and practical effects for the movies for over 30 years! I still make mistakes every now and then we all do! And we could get frustrated with ourselves but we can always fix them! Love channels like yours! I found somebody local to the LA area I got a hold of him and I hired him to work with my crew! He's a great sculpture! 22:33
I love the geode skull... maybe put the gold around the pearl eye or even paint the eye socket shades of black before you put the eye in.
Tbh I was nervous when I saw a mirror and spray paint .. oh dear she’s trying again. 😂… but you always prevail. These skulls and decor are awesome and creative.. great work
Hahaha! Always gotta give those project that give me trouble a second try
With spray foam you can spray water over it with a spritz bottle, leave it alone for 3-5 minutes, and then a film will develop that you can touch. Gloves help too, and be ready to spritz it again. As long as you're gentle enough not to break the film you can then sculpt it into a shape that will harden. You will loose the puffiness if you do this though.
I love these ideas. You just showed me how to save $40 by making my own skull planter using dollar store skull. 😄 Don't feel bad about recording the boo boos we allmake artsy boo boos it's how you learn to improve it! I was laughing not at you but in relation to boo boos I make on things & have to take apart & start over.
Thank you for this video & thank you hubby fir recording the boo boos as well!🙂
Oh question did you put a hole in the bottom of the skull planter for drainage?
I would love to see a tutorial on how to make a haunted mirror
I Love the skull/mirror DIY. That would be really Great for a "wreath". You may already know this, but Home Depot sells black expanding foam spray too. It's used for filling in the cracks in outdoor fountains. Might work good for coals. Great video!
I did not know they sold black! When I was getting my foam I only saw yellow and white. I definitely wish I saw black it would have made this so much easier 🥰
I use it on my garden pond/waterfall which is why I knew about it.@@angelajonesdiy
Shared.
I believe the fireplace. Turned out awesome. Even if u feel u failed. U didn't. I don't feel. Love that doll. On rocker did u diy that. If so. Can u send me to the diy video of it
Thank you! I did not DIY the creepy doll. That came from Home Depot
I completely understand about your mess.
Just recently I made a Halloween prop and it's a tall demon ghost. I made the 'spine' from a long curtain rod and wrapped it in white tape. The 'shoulders' were made from a white curtain rod (the kind where the ends bend down). I used four white sheer curtains that were on the windows of my house when I bought it and they are perfect for the wispy ghost. I also cut the curtains in jagged strips so they move in the breeze which they do! I used a large Styrofoam ball for the head to which I attached a white skeleton mask to. The eyes of the mask were kind of deep and have mesh on them. I glued battery operated tea lights to each eye and you should see how they glow at night. Spooky!!!
Here's the problem: When I attached the 'head' to the end of the long curtain rod I stupidly used cement glue instead of regular glue. I had forgotten that certain glues melt Styrofoam and this glue melted a big hole in the foam. I had to turn the foam ball upside down and use the other side which was fine. A lesson to all. Be careful what kind of glue you use with Styrofoam!!!!
I had an old long black shiny wig I purchased a long time ago for another project that I never made so I glued it to the head of the ghost. The hair is long and stringy and perfect for a scary look.
The 'stand' for the ghost like I said is a long curtain rod. I filled a mason jar with plaster of Paris so the prop would stand in the hole I dug. The plaster broke the mason jar which was okay (forgot it expands). Time to install. I placed the prop in the hole, packed the clay dirt in the hole as hard as I could. Perfect. Oh, I put a large Zip Lock bag over the plaster of Paris so it wouldn't get wet.
There was enough sheer curtain fabric to create long 'arms' for the ghost so I tied monofilament line to each 'arm' and used two landscaping 'pins' to stretch out the 'arms' into the yard. Small strips were tied to the fishing line so no one would trip including myself.
I then sat down and cut more strips in the fabric. It's always breezy here where I live so the ghost looks really good when those fabric strips fly all around. Oh and I put one of my solar lights under the front of the ghost fabric. At night it looks really good.
I worked at a major theme park (retired) and we made props for special events and holidays. Halloween and Christmas is a big deal there. I wish I could post a photo of my ghost on here but of course I can't.
That sounds like it looks amazing! We all struggle sometimes. Even those of us who have been crafting for years. Ours brains get the better of us and we make silly mistakes. Even though afterwards we knew that would work. But in the end it all comes together! Sometimes even better than the plan 🥰
@@angelajonesdiy I completely forgot that certain adhesives will melt Styrofoam.
Live and learn I guess!
First video of yours I’ve seen. I adore Halloween 🎃 and loved your projects!! I liked your idea for the fire pit. I think you could benefit from a few videos on how to work with the foam, cause once you master that…unstoppable!!! May I suggest Stiltbeast Studios, he creates tons with the foam and goes into details in working with it. Consider me subscribed!!🧡🖤🧡👻💀🎃
On the three skull pillar you should get skeleton hands for hear, see and say no evil
Thinking about doing the skull stands❣️
Read thru description box twice and could not find the amazon glass crystals (?) you used on the side of the head.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry I’m terrible at remembering to add the links sometimes. Here it is!

What I noticed is that you put so much spray , bleach on the mirror to look edge, and with the black net, we didn't see the background of the mirror anymore, overall I liked everything you made for Halloween. Stunning! 😊
Yea I noticed about that too. I thought it was going to turn out a little different but that’s ok
Paint the jeweled skull gold or gilt it?
Amazing!!
I have a question, why didn’t you paint all of the skulls before staking?
I like to try and glue the raw materials together when I can. You can definitely glue them after being painted but then the glue might peel the paint off and pull away over time
I know who is winning this years Halloween Party!
I LOOOOVE the last one. Ive been wanting to do something like that but adding a translucent paper mache type thing to make it look like the mirror is stretching. Super hard to explain. But if you happen to read this and know what I'm talking about to help me out with some ideas
I know what you’re talking about in terms of making it look like it’s stretching that was how my inspiration images looked but I couldn’t figure out how to get that or what they used
The skull coming out of the mirror looks awesome but why do all that to the mirror when you can't see it? XD Love all the projects though, seriously! I'll have to do some for myself^^ Also, just a tip for spray foam, once you spray it you can spray some water onto it and leave it for about 3 minutes, then come back and press it down to help shape it. You'll have to keep pressing now and then until it's completely set up but it'll help with the floofiness of the foam. I think you did a great job though!
Thank you for the tips! And yea I realized once I finished it there really wasn’t a point to doing the mirror. I thought it was gonna turn out different
😊
I like the mirror project and have never seen this done before. Very cool. However, with the 'creepy cloth' put on, it's impossible to see the cool 'mirror'. You should make another one if you can find a cool frame again. This time leave a lot of the 'mirror' showing. Great job though. I like it.
Oh, and do you sell the stuff you make?
I do! This is my website. I don’t list everything that I make though only the things I feel will hold up over time and through shipping 🥰
ajdesigned.wixsite.com/store
@@angelajonesdiy beautiful items on your website!!!
Not my cup of tea this time around. However, I still think you had great ideas & your projects turned out well. That doll on the rocking horse sure is creepy! Also, your fingernails are very pretty!
That’s ok not everyone is into Halloween decor. Thanks you watching anyways 🥰🥰
@@angelajonesdiyYou are very welcome! I still love to see your ideas & how you craft! 👍👍
You should have just put the creepy claws around the top of the head and draped onto the fingers to make it look like a hooded cape
Just think how you can fix these up for Marti Gras.
You can also buy plastic succulents and they look pretty much like the real ones but you already knew that didn't you. ;D
Did she use rub n buff?
Yea!
I'm always disappointed that stores don't have cheap, full-sized plastic skulls. I'm not asking for ones the quality of the one from Michaels for a $1.25, just take the cheap, one-piece ones from Dollar Tree and make them 50% bigger. I mean, the plastic is so thin and cheap that it probably wouldn't cost them more than an extra couple cents to make them larger. When you think about it, a jug of their laundry detergent probably has more plastic than those little skulls that they sell, and it's full of detergent as well. They sell full-sized skeleton hands (only left ones though), so why not a skull to match?
Why not use real charcoal briquettes and intersperse the lights under the coals as well as the skulls and bones?
Read about Hobby Lobby.
You need at least mask but respirator better when melting plastic.
That is just way too much work for those cheap skulls😮 You spent so much time on the mirror only to not see 99% of it. The skull with the glitter, add some brown & black to it’s teeth. The spray foam planter was the best price you did! Mistakes sometimes turn into works of perfection!
