Create these creepy one of a kind pieces for your cabinet of curiosity with just a little paint, paper and a whole lot of creativity! Check out the tutorial below on how you can make these unique pieces for your table of oddities.
To make the glass cloche, paint a wood bead and a wood circle with black acrylic paint and set aside to dry. Once the bead is dry, attach it to a glass hurricane candle holder using hot glue.
Coil the wire that is attached to the butterfly and add a bead of hot glue to the bottom of the coiled wire.
Attach the butterfly to the painted wood circle using hot glue.
Add a bead of hot glue around the wood circle and place the glass cloche on top of the circle. Now your mini butterfly terrarium is all ready to go! Let's move on to the next faux taxidermy project!
Paint wood box frames with black and gold paint and set aside to dry. Next, trimpattern paper to fit inside of the wood boxes. Paint a layer of mod podge to the inside of the wood box and lay the paper inside the box and allow to dry completely.
Spray paint an assortment of bugs using gold spray paint. After the paint has dried, attach the bug to the inside of the wood box frame using hot glue.
Along with the mounted golden bugs, a faux crow can be cut and mounted to the wood box frame using hot glue.
Place the glass cloche and mounted bug frames on top of copper taper candle holders and attach using hot glue. Now you're ready to arrange your spooky pieces onto your cabinet of curiosities!
