Blessed Scrapper: Authentique Paper Tutorial: Halloween Decor

Good morning! I have a little tutorial to share with you today to create your own Halloween decor - perhaps a spooky sign for your front door? The "Glowing" collection by Authentique Paper is perfect for all your Halloween home decor and now is the perfect time to get creating! Take a look at my "Happy Haunting" sign:

I picked up this black metal sign at my local Michael's a couple weeks ago (and I'm so proud of myself for using something I bought right away - admit it, you do it too!) :) I tied some black glitter tulle in a bow on the top on the wire hanger.

To distress my patterned paper, I simply used some black paint and a foam brush.

Once that was dry, I machine stitched around the edges for a little extra texture.

I used a wet adhesive to adhere the patterned paper to the metal sign and then tied a piece of orange ribbon around the front of the sign in a knot. I also glued a die-cut piece from the "Glowing" Icons sheet to the bottom.

Next, I cut a piece of this mirrored sprig that I found in the Christmas section at my local Hobby Lobby. It was black and silver so it went with this project perfectly.

I hot-glued the sprig (that ended up looking like a really cool tree) to the bottom of the sign.

The ghost was cut from a Halloween pick that I bought at Hobby Lobby and hot glued to the center of my tulle ribbon. The little "Boo" die-cut is from the "Glowing" Noteables sheet.
