Halloween Printable Craft Project



Hi everyone, I am the #2 blogger of the 4 creative divas and I have a very easy craft for you.   This craft is using one of the Halloween printable that is offered in the blog.  I made a cute little Halloween plaque.

1. Start with a board that fits your printable, Make it big enough to have a border around it.
     ( I used MDF,  you can get it at Lowes or Home depot,  but you could use any type of wood.)

2. Router around the edges. Or if you dont have a router sand the edges to make a nice rounded edge.  Take a hammer and distress the edges a little.

3. Spray with a black spray paint and let dry.
      ( I used matte finish)

4. Use a thin coat of  Mod Podge to adhere the printable to the board.

5. Cover with a thin coat of Mod Podge let dry.
    ( I used two coats of Mod Podge)

6. Decorate with embellishments of your choice.
 ( I took  4 inch pieces of various Halloween ribbon , twisted it, and wrapped a brad around it. Then I glued it on with craft glue.)

I attached a small block to the back to make it stand up. You can put picture hangers, or staple a ribbon on the back for a wall hanging,  or use a small easel for a table piece.


Don't be afraid to try a new craft for Halloween.   When you get finished and it looks really scary, that's great, that is the way you want it.

hairstyle #9 braid buns

Whooa (Big sigh of relief), I am so glad that November is here.  Don't get me wrong I love October  especially Halloween, but now that I am a grown up person Halloween isn't quite as fun as when I was a kid. Or maybe it is still as fun, but now I have to do all the work to prepare for  it. I love this time of year (really who doesn't?) I love the Beautiful autumn colors, and the slight nippy feeling outside. I love sitting by a cozy fire,  and taking really warm baths while the air around me has a slight chill.  Most of all I love Thanksgiving, and being around people I love. Well enough of my sentiments, and on to this really cute and simple hairstyle.This style is cute on everyone, and it is very quick. Which is always a plus when your rushing to get a little one ready for school. First you create two pigtails. Braid each pigtail Wrap the braid around the base of the pigtail and secure the tail into the elastic holding the pigtail. Backcomb the

Book review

I would like to say a word about a inspiring book that I read a while back.   The name of the book is Hitchhikers by Bernard Poduska The true story of one man's amazing journey from a homeless and hopeless childhood to a life of conversion and faith . The story starts in the spring of 1948 when Bernard Poduska and his family was evicted from their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bernard was eight year old at the time, it tells of his family hitchhiking across the country trying to find a place to call home.  It tell of the hard times, and the suffering they went through.  It also tell of how Bernard, being an atheist, finds God.  This is a quote from the book.  " you will never know what's on down the road until you've made the journey; be grateful for any rides others may give you along the way, and whatever your destination, the journey is everything-- make the most of it." I enjoyed this book, it is very different than the run-of-the-mill books.  I incou
