Skeleton case.
 <  Image 1 of 3  > 

This is for a costume that I'm making for my friend's 80's party in October; she wants all her girls to be a Madonna from the 80's, so I picked the one from 'Desperately Seeking Susan'.

In the movie she has a big drum case that she uses as luggage. I took that idea and made it more practical into a purse.

  1. Step 1

    Take your unpainted hinged tin purse, and paint the entire outside black.

    Once the outside is dry; you can paint the inside pink.

    Make sure that you have enough coats of black and pink paint, before proceeding to the next step.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    For the outside; you will need a picture of the skulls/skeletons and a piece of white chalk.

    On one flat side; take the chalk and sketch out the skulls. Paint them white (let dry) and then touch up the details with the black paint.

    Repeat on the other side.


  3. Step 3
