TIP n' TRICK tuesday

I'm super excited to bring you this week's fantastic tutorial for making a super spooky super easy yard sign for Halloween! I'm totally new to MOD PODGE, but I'm already addicted. So here's the dilly!!

Stuff:

  • 1 wood board (any scrap size you have will be fine)
  • Mod Podge
  • Cheap-o foam brush
  • Black, Orange, Green, or Purple spray paint ( I just happened to have black on hand)
  • Printer w/ ink (which I NEVER seem to have!!)
  • Printer Paper
  • Small shallow dish with water
  • Scissors
  • Paper towels

How-to:

  • Spray paint the board and let it dry overnight

  • Print out your ghoulish saying (ex:BOO!..BEWARE...TRICK OR TREAT) I did mine using the Mistral font and orange font color.

  • Cut out the letters

  • Place the first cut out letter in the shallow dish with water. (simply lay on top don't submerge in water)

  • Put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the board will the first letter will go

  • Lay the wet letter down and carefully press any bubbles out

  • Take a paper towel and lay flat over the letter, press down and slowly remove the paper towel.

  • Repeat for each letter and let it dry slightly

  • Add a few thin layers of Mod Podge to the entire sign! (for more durability add clear varnish)

I hope you enjoy this weeks tutorial if you decide to try it out send me a link to your creation!
