She&#8217;s posted a tutorial, which could hardly be easier: Spray-paint a plastic skeleton hand (available at party and craft stores around Halloween or year-round at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pushindaisies.com\/candypress\/scripts\/prodView.asp?idProduct=652\">Pushin&#8217; Daisies<\/a>) in the desired color, glue on rhinestones, and attach a brooch pinback.  This is a super-cute fastener for a scarf or decoration for a tote bag.<\/p>\n<p>You could go further and cover the entire hand with rhinestones, or do the &#8220;blood dripping&#8221; thing from the original using a string of little red seed beads.  If rhinestones aren&#8217;t your thing you could spray it with glue and coat it with glitter, or decorate it with puff paint.<\/p>\n<p>Since the plastic is lightweight, you could decorate several hands in different styles and mass them together on a sweater or run them along a purse strap.  It&#8217;s certainly an arresting (and inexpensive!) way to make a statement.<\/p>\n<p><i>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/creepycupcakes.blogspot.com\/\">Creepy Cupcakes<\/a>)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a knockoff that I think I like better than the original.
