But we don't really have anything all snowy and Christmas like. Our town is mostly a cemetery and these kids needed to be updated. They have to look more like something that would be chased by him:
So I pulled out my paintbrush and got to work:
The biggest challenge was turning the snowy ground into more of a mossy swamp. I used different layers of black, brown and green.
This is the final product. Don't they just look like two boys having a mud fight?
The last part where I painted mud all over their clothes was probably the final piece to bring it all together. My husband asked me why kids would be having a mud fight in a cemetery and I felt compelled to tell him that he must not know any boys.

Does anyone else get a little kick out of buying something and using a little paint (or other materials) to turn it into something a bit different?

Unfortunately, I am no where near as crafty as you, so I don't usually do things like that.
But that's pretty awesome, though! :)
You are so crafty! I wish I was as creative as you are!
That is so cool, you really are Ms Creative!
