DIY Halloween artwork {mod podge and graphics fairy} {Newbie party too}
Well at least it is different each time and you can view the many art work changes
Have you ever done a project that was so easy, you started to think, how can this even look that good?
That is what I was thinking while doing this.
I tell you, I was the worlds worst crafter until I started blogging and getting more experience and inspiration.
Grant you, I am still not great by no means, but I have come pretty far.
Let me give you a quick tutorial on how I did this.
FIRST: I found my graphic from the Graphic's fairy.
I burned the edges of the graphic with a lighter, over the sink, made a mess, cleaned up, moved on....
I had this large white canvas sheet that I have used for photo backdrops.
I paid a 1.99 for it at hobby lobby.
I measured it out per my frame and used an exacto knife to cut the board.
I then took my craft paints, first the penny color and wiped it all over with a paper towel.
I then used the black on top and rubbed it all in.
There was my backdrop for the art work.
I lightly sanded the board as well.
I took my graphic and mod podged it on the board.
Embellished with some bats and spiders.....
I had everything on hand once again. This project was a lot of fun, and very, very simple!
It was an absolutely gorgeous day here today!
Enjoy yours, make it great one!

That is a great project. The edges and establishments gives it a professional look. Glad your having such nice weather, we are blessed with cooler temps here too.
I just had to laugh about the kitchen thing. I change mine just about every 15 minutes and you guys have looked at all of my changes about a million times. Oh well, I still enjoy yours too. I can't believe your new project. How cute is that. The spiders, bats and the whole thing looks great and you did such a good job with burning the edges. Love the candy corna nd skeletons too.
