Paper and Ribbon and Feathers...oh MY...what a Beautiful Witch Hat!

Welcome to Altered Pages and I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! Susan here to share my Halloween type of headdress made of paper, ribbons, feathers and bling. Are you playing along with Altered Pages first "Alter Your Creativity" Headdress Challenge? There's still time.

On Every Second Monday of the Month we plan to bring you a new Challenge to encourage you to step a little out of your comfort zone and "Alter Your Creativity". Each Challenge will run until the last day of the Month and the Design Team will vote to pick an overall Winner and a Top 3.


My paper hat is adorned with feathers and a beaded gem spider!


The great thing about altered arts is that everything and anything can be used for creating. I created a simple paper hat form finished with a rim with a pretty sheet of patterned paper. I really love the "Fascinator" style headpieces - so I created my own to adorn my witch hat. WOW! Now this will be so fun to wear to a Victorian Halloween Party.

Now its your turn to get creating and have some fun! We want to see your headdress creation!  Simply click on the Challenge Page Tab above and link up your entry with the InLinkz Tool at the bottom of the page.  We do hope that you'll join us for your chance to win a great prize from Altered Pages.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create something. Please visit the Altered Pages website for Collage Sheets, Papers, Ephemera, Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer, Rubber Stamps, blank items ready to alter, Project kits and more! I invite you to play along too and post your projects at the Altered Pages Facebook page HERE and you can also join the Altered Pages Artsociates Facebook Group HERE.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
