How exciting!! It's the first day to my 31 Days of Crafting! Every day for the next 31 days I will be posting some sort of craft that I have done. These crafts could be anything from scrapbooking to cooking. This week, I am trying to focus on Halloween decorations. I have never decorated the house for Halloween, but thought it would be fun this year to start.
A few months ago, I pinned this. I really loved how it looked and really wanted to make it for my own house. Then, a couple of days ago, I was checking out some crafting blogs and stumbled across this blog, and saw her take on it. I liked that better than the pin, and started thinking about how to do my own take on it.
So, I headed over to my trusty cricut and started flipping through the cartridges that I have. I decided on a font and cut some letters out in Halloween paper. While those were printing, I went to our recycle bin and pulled out some cardboard. I traced the letters onto the cardboard and then painted them black (you can see Lucy's painting box here I had to borrow it).
After the paint was dry, I mod podged the scrapped letters to the cardboard.
This morning, when I woke up, I used some twine I found in the garage and strung up the letters, and then hung it on our front door. I am really happy with how it came out!
