“You’re Ghoul” Mixed Media Halloween Tag 1

Halloween is the perfect time for mixed media fun. Messy drips, cracked paint, and other distressed effects that can be found in mixed media play it up great as spooky effects for Halloween. Jennifer Priest here and today I am sharing a fun mixed media Halloween tag that you can use for Halloween decor or for a gift! My nephew’s birthday is this week so I am attaching this fun tag to a gift that we’re giving to him. Here’s the tag:

You don’t need fancy pants art supplies to pull off this mixed media look. In fact, most of the supplies I used can be found at the dollar store, like the googly eyes and the crepe paper, as well as in your stash of Tombow adhesive and pens. Here are a few ways that I used Tombow adhesvies to pull it all together:

• Use Tombow MONO Aqua Glue as a decoupage medium to cover a surface, like this tag, with paper
• Use crepe paper instead of book pages or tissue for a textural effect when decoupaging
• Tombow WideTrac Correction tape is great for making stripes but also creates a surface perfect for journaling or adding sentiments. Scratch at the tape to distress it to look like crackled paint
• Write on non-porous surfaces with Tombow’s Monotwin Permanent Markers. They work great on Tombow’s WideTrac Correction Tape
• Stick heavier items like googly eyes to paper using Tombow Adhesive Dots
• Use Tombow Dual Brush Pens to add shading to fabric and felt

Here’s how I made this tag using the techniques and ideas I listed above:

Supplies:

• Tombow WideTrac Correction Tape
