Add a little glitter.......

I decided while I was shopping at Michael's and A. C. Moore today to pick up some things to make a couple of fun Halloween projects. These were very easy, inexpensive and took very little time to make. Here is how to make them:

I bought the large white wood letters to spell out "Boo" and small wood letters to spell out "spooky"

I painted the large letters with a purple paint and the small letters with an orange paint.




































































I used an acrylic craft paint.



















Once your paint has dried, apply a good thick coat of Modge Podge or white glue to the top surface. Work fast so it doesn't dry.



















Sprinkle on your glitter quickly and evenly over the surface of the modge podge or glue. I always put on alot to make sure the entire area gets good coverage.





















Now gently shake off the excess glitter. Let dry and coat with a spray matte sealer. Add a ribbon or metal hanger and you are done!!! Try using seed beads or sequins instead of glitter. Have fun creating!!!
