KathieB Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What a great collection of spirits! What are you planning for the walls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asherah Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have no idea! lol my daughter said I should paint them black but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think painting it black would make it way too dark. I'd look for a dark blue scrapbook paper that has silver spots or sprinkles on it to look like a dark sky, maybe with a gold foil moon with a man-in-the-moon face on it or a silhouette of a witch passing in front of it. I'd put the same paper on the ceiling/sky, too. Something to represent a night sky without being solidly black. Or paint dark blue and scatter star-shaped stickers or even dots of silver metallic paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurMama Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Looking good! I bet your daughter would enjoy putting on the stickers if you decide to go that route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I love the idea of doing the walls like a starry sky. Could you find a way to use tiny bulbs as stars? My thought is to drill a bunch of holes in the walls (randomly scattered like stars), and insert bulbs from the back side, and then cover the back sides of the roombox somehow to hide the wires. But maybe there's a simpler way to achieve the same effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asherah Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 hmm i love these ideas. I have some battery operated little string lights. Maybe I could poke them through some paper? Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could poke them through some paper? Not sure. That sounds like a great idea. The wires would be sandwiched between the wall and the paper. Are the contents of the box fixed in place or are they removable? If you can take them out, it would be easy enough to install the faux sky.

fov Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 How about if you drill holes and insert the lights, and then cover the inside wall with paper that has stars on it, so the lights shine through the paper? (So you'll actually see the stars lit up from behind the paper rather than seeing the bulbs.) That would be softer and might look more natural, but I don't know if it would light up the box very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewolf Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It's great. I did something like this a few years ago with a roombox I had. I had some black card and used that to cover the walls, ceiling and floor. (I'd acutally bought the roombox for another project so wanted to keep it as it was.) I love the pumpkin house.
