BM-5 Tailgaters Custom Bears Vs. Packers Handmade Pin Up Girl Barrettes 🐻🏈🧀

The last thing you probably expected to read about on my art page is football. However some friends of mine over at BM-5 Tailgaters asked if I would be open to making some custom Chicago Bears Vs. Green Bay Packers pin up girl style barrettes for their female fanbase. As you all know I enjoy making anything that gets my creative blood flowing and loved the idea of getting to contribute to their team spirit and passion for the game. 👻✨

I handcrafted a total of 12 barrettes, 6 per team…

I individually packaged the barrettes so they were ready for their upcoming events and included a I Support Human Handmade Art sticker in each one for some added flare.

They really liked the way they turned out and I had a lot of fun making something where I was able to use my Dead Girl Decay pin up girl style but themed for something out of “my norm” or should I say out of “my weird”.

If you are a hardcore fan of the Chicago Bears I highly recommend to “bear down”and give this wild group a follow over on their Facebook page. These guys are not just fans, they are dedicated to the game. They have been featured on many news broadcasts, involved in charity fundraisers, and are proud Charter members of the Chicago Bears Tailgating and the National Tailgating Hall of Fame.

And if you are looking to add some unique handmade flare for your next event, be sure to contact me about custom orders and check out some of the other unique wearable creations I have conjured up on the Dead Girl Decay page of my official portfolio website. I also have a few remaining Pop Culture Decay barrettes available in my Etsy shop and on the shelves in my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL.!

Stay Strange & Magical,

Happy Autumn Equinox my Freaky Fanatics! I got a spooky fun treat for you today. Two new Pop Culture Icon Dead Girl Decay barrettes have hit my Etsy shop!

Inspired by my love of Daphne Blake (a past high school nickname of mine) and her ghoulfriend Velma Dinkley I give you “Jeepers!” and “Jinkies!” Fun and colorful wearable art with a touch of spooky cartoon fun!

The centers feature up-cycled plastic Daphne and Velma heads surrounded by a multitude of flower petals and feathers inspired by their iconic cartoon looks in Scooby Doo.

Perfect to wear for Halloween, Comicons or really anytime….these barrettes are limited edition (no one else will have one like you do) pre-made and ready to ship in my online Etsy shop. Love them but don’t wear barrettes? No problem! Many of my customers clip these to things making them unique additions to their home decor!

Like to shop in person and support a small local business at the same time? Then jump into your Mystery Machine and head on over to Closet Collectibles in Crete IL where these two barrettes will be available for purchase if they are not sold by the time I make my next art drop off!

Stay Spooky & Magical!

Game Over Man!

Spooky season is upon us and that is why I spent a majority of my weekend in my art studio working on commission orders. As most of the items I was working on needed time to sit and dry I decided to take the opportunity to make another Horror Villain Icon Dead Girl Decay barrette.

After creating my “Ugly Mofo” Predator barrette I knew I had to make another one inspired by their nemesis. I also decided to make Private Hudson proud and named it “Game Over Man!”

The center features an up-cycled Alien action figure head surrounded by a multitude of flower petals with each representing the color and feel of the Aliens movie franchise.

For those of you that are fans of the film this is a Limited Edition creation so there is only one pre-made and available in my online Etsy shop. It will soon be available to purchase in person when I make my next art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete IL. Love it but you don’t wear barrettes? No problem! Many of my customers clip these to things in their home making them unique additions to their horror and sci-fi collections and decor!

Stay Spooky & Magical!

Ugly Mofo!

I was working on a handmade gift in my art studio over the weekend and got a vision for making another Horror Villain Icon Dead Girl Decay barrette.

This time I was inspired by the movie Predator. I call it “Ugly Mofo” (I think Dutch would dig the name).

The center features an up-cycled Yautja action figure head surrounded by a multitude of tropical flower petals with each color representing the heat sensory they use to track their prey.

For those of you that are fans of the film this is a Limited Edition creation so there is only one pre-made and available in my online Etsy shop. It will soon be available to purchase in person when I make my next art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete IL.

Stay Spooky & Magical!
