Boo- DIY

I've been wanting to make something decorative for Halloween for a couple of weeks now, but since I live an hour from a craft store my options are Wal-Mart or Wal-Mart. Needless to say that they don't have a lot of crafty things to choose from. But I managed to to pick a project that I've been wanting to do and they had everything (not exactly what I was going for, but close enough) that I needed to get a really simple and quick DIY project done. So with my supplies in hand I headed home and set to work.

Step 1 and 2 are basically the same. I first started by painting the block black all over and then once that was dry I went over it with oragne. The glow orange didn't work so I switched to a pure orang color.

Step 3- Then I used my Circut to cut out my letters. Here is where I was wishing that I had a Silhouette Cameo to use. It's on top of Christmas list though. So here's hoping!!

Step 4- I used my XYRON to make stickers out with my letters.

And then added the letters where I wanted them.

 I then picked out a couple border stickers to use

Step 5- I cut them to the size I wanted/needed and added them to the cover. After I had everything on the front the way I wanted it I went over the entire front with Mod Podge just to seal it really good so I wouldn't have to worry about any of it coming off.

Step 6- I cut a piece of ribbon and used my hot glue gun to attach it to the back. And you're done! Hang it wherever you want. After I was finished and was looking at it, all I could think of was that it was  kind of plain and wished I had some purple bling or rhinestones to add to it. I'm hoping the next time I'm in a craft store I'll remember to pick some up and then I can either add them to it now or wait till next year.  I know its a super simple and easy project, but with the limited supplies I could find this will have to do. Have you made anything for Halloween or Fall? I'd love to see it.
