we made them for the fourth of july and thought they could be just as delightful for halloween, but with a little dash of frightful-ness, of course.
- wood letters from hobby lobby
- foam brush
- patterned paper
- 5×7 black frames from wal mart
- glitter
- acrylic paint
- glue (we used elmer’s)
the three of us girls got together to create this project and each of us had to make them a little bit different.
last time the letters were spray painted, but we decided to just give them a quick coat of acrylic paint this time.
as soon as that dried, we brushed some glue over the paint and sprinkled on the glitter.
let that dry for a bit while you trim your paper down to 5×7’s.
place the paper in front of the glass and attach your wood letters with the glue.

Cool! I like these a lot and this is something that could be done at nap time or in the evening while watching TV. Jenn (www.thismommyloves.com)

Love this idea! Bought the stuff to do these for the 4th, but haven't made them yet. Think I will get the supplies to do the Halloween ones too. I have 19 & 17 yr. old daughters that want to do a Christmas craft day with their friends this year – I'm thinking we'll make these with "JOY". Thanks for the inspiration! Love your blog!

I love each of these. I couldn't choose a favorite. They are all fabulous!
ellie g says
Will I "like" you? Are you freakin' kidding me? The question is: Will I love you unconditionally? And the answer is YES! You have been "liked" and added to my blog's "Favorite Pages" on facebook. Will I like you? Now that's just silly.
Now, on to this whole cuteness….I LOVED the 4th ones….and I'm lovin' these. I've used that Basic Grey paper before, and it's a gem. The pattern and aging are totally perfection. And I gotta say….a little glitter just makes my day!
Homerun. Again!

I LOVE these as well as your USA ones. How do you store them without glitter getting everywhere is my only question? Once I figure that out, I'll be making them for every holiday!
