Yes, I'm famous for the little sentence, "So, I saw this thing on Pintrest and....". Once again, I saw something that was not only cute, but I had everything for! As mother would say, "It was meant to be!". The kids helped with this one too. Took a board out of my husbands wood pile, cut it into 4 pieces (no need to measure, just eyeball it). Sanded down the edges. Then we painted them. The Pintrest item had a pumpkin, a mummy, a ghost, and Frankenstein's monster. I was successful with the pumpkin, ghost, and green guy. However, i though i had some old burlap in my fabric box, but no such luck. I had already painted the board black with big yellow eyes, though, so, what to do? AHAH! An owl! (My husband said it could also be a raven, but whatever). While the creepies were drying, we painted another longer board for the base. I'm not that great at free-hand painting letters, so i just used some fun sticker letters i already had and then did a clear coat over them. Drying, done. Screwed it all together and ta-da! A fast, fun, inexpensive, yet, cute porch decoration. Go me! Looking for other stuff to create now, any ideas? Please share!
