So, I wanted to make the cute little "boo" signs I've been seeing online. I gathered my supplies. I got three small 4x6 black frames from WalMart for 97 cents each. I had some black cardstock for my letters and halloween paper for the backgrounds on hand as well as the glue.
I took the filler paper out of the frames to use as a template for my Halloween paper backgrounds. I made little tick marks on the side so that I could use my paper cutter to make my straight lines. (below).
Next, I used a cricut to get my perfect little black letters cut from my cardstock. I set it to 4 inches and used the DonJuan cartridge.
I took each letter and spread glue over the surface using an old artist paintbrush then covered them in glitter. I totally need to find a better way to do glitter. I didn't make a huge mess but would love a better system. Of course, I was catching up on my DVR'd Sing Off - that may have been distracting.
Look how pretty they're getting! Next, I glued the letters to my backgrounds and placed them in the frames. More glitter everywhere.
I took this opportunity to get my Mickey Mouse jack-o-lantern and my little spider candle holders out to complete the dining room table decoration. Simple, but cute!
