I absolutely ADORE decorating my house for Halloween, ALMOST as much as I adore the eighteen25 girls! Even if it means working outside in 100+ degree Arizona Weather!
This year, I wanted to do something a little different to decorate my Front Door. And a few weeks ago, while visiting a friend's house, I saw the PERFECT Frame for my project hanging on her wall. So what did I do? I bought it off of her right then and there. So..... Do YOU Want to see what I did with it?? I KNEW YOU WOULD!!!
Isn't She PERFECT? So HOW did I make her? Well that is an EXCELLENT question. It all started with a Pencil and a VERY Large sheet of Paper.
Yes, I drew her! p.s. I never draw with anything other than a polka dot pencil!
You see, She measures 18" tall. I wanted EVERYONE who drives down my street to be able to see her! After 4 Rough Drafts, and 3 erasers, I finally had a good pattern.
Once my pattern was drawn, I cut her out with Scissors. Then I cut down a Piece of Foam Board to fit inside my frame.
Here's what happened next:
{1} I used some Antiquing glaze and rag and distressed my foam board. As you can see, {2} I used a circular motion to apply the glaze to get the look I wanted. Then I let it dry. Next {3} I used my pattern and a pencil and traced her again right onto the foam board. And {4} I then took a permanent marker and traced the outline That way, I had an nice dark line I follow as I painted the rest of her.
After letting her dry for a few more hours, I popped her into her frame and mounted her to my front door with a few command strips. Last, I applied Some Vinyl Lettering beneath her letting EVERYONE know that "The Witch is in"
She is Totally Wicked. And I can't help but cackle inside EVERY time I look at her!
