All Patched Up!

Hello My Little Ghouls and Gals! 

Ive got a crafty design that's sure to have you in stitches!

(ok bad joke gol!)

Today I've got a Halloween themed patchwork design. 

I've done this design 3 years in a row now, but each in a slightly different way.

This year I wanted to have a little more fun with it and add designs to my "patches."

I am absolutely in love with how they turned out this year and hope y'all enjoy them as well!

I took the time to do a pictorial so let's get started! 

Step 1:

Paint your nails with a base of orange. This step is optional, you can just skip ahead and paint each color section on a bare nail if you'd like, but my orange is very thin and using it as a base made things much easier for me. 

Step 2: 

Use a striper brush to draw outlines of your purple patches.

Step 3:

Fill in your purple patches. I just used the polish brush for this.

Step 4; 

Draw your green outlines and fill those patches in next.

Step 5:

For the orange patches I chose to do black dots, so use a small dotting tool or something similar like a bobby pin, to make small black dots on all the orange. 

Step 6:

Use the striper brush again with black and outline all the patches.

Step 7:

For the green patches I wanted spider webs so fill that in on the green and then add stitch lines into the purple patches across the black outlines. I also at the last minute decided to add some white dots inside a few of the black dots. 

I really loved how these tuned out! It seemed great in my head and on paper when I planned it out but on the nail it turned out greater! I love this time of year and all the inspiration that comes with it! 

Here's my patchwork designs from years past.
