Halloween Bat Decor Plaque
Posted by DecoArt on Oct 1st 2013
Items Needed:
- Wood Plaque
- Vaseline
- Hot Glue
- Sandpaper
- Die Cut Paper Bat
Instructions:
Step one: paint your plaque with two coats of black paint. Allow paint to dry. Once your black paint has dried apply a layer of vaseline around the edges and front of the plaque. The vaseline will act as a repellent against the white paint, so that you can later sand the white paint off and expose the black paint.
Step three: apply two coats of the White Birch paint. Allow paint to dry.
Step four: once the paint is completely dry lightly sand the plaque to create a distressed look. I used a fine 150 grit piece of sandpaper.
Step five: apply glue to the center of your bat and glue onto the board.
This is a simple way to add customized halloween decor to your home.
I hope you have a Happy Halloween!
