Hi everyone! This is Kelly from kbiendesigns. Today I have a Halloween wall or door hanging, which is a quick and easy way to decorate for the holiday!
I started with the new Happy Haunting paper Graphic 45. I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of black cardstock. I then cut down the striped paper from Happy Haunting to 8 x 10 1/2. I used foam tape (a lot of it) to adhere it to the black paper. I did this for two reasons - one for dimension and the other for stability. I then added a layer of plain orange cardstock cut down to 7 1/2 x 10, then a layer of bat paper cut down to 7 x 9 1/2. Each layer was adhered with foam tape in different directions, again for stability.
At this point, I knew I wanted to use doilies, but I haven't had success inking the white doilies. I never seemed to get the right color. Then it dawned on me - cut out your own! So I went searching and found the perfect cut from Paper Lace.
I cut the doilies out at 4.5", one in black and one in orange.
I then trimmed two other patterned papers from the stack to layer horizontally, to anchor the doilies.
I grabbed my Teresa Collins Chic and Scary and cut out "BEWARE" at 4.5" from black cardstock, and layered that with foam dots.
I then cut out the adorable little witch on a pumpkin from Happy Haunting and, you guessed it, layered that on with more foam tape! Glued down a few buttons with baker's twine and I was done!
I will be hanging this on my door on Halloween night with the adorable Melissa Frances hanger!
Thanks for looking and have a great Halloween!

ReplyDeleteI read your directions before I looked at your photo and 8.5x11 wasn't registering in my head at first. BUT, when I saw your pic I had to pick up my jaw from the table, lol! That is a great project and size for the door! It looks like a patchwork (and I LOVE patchwork)! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteNice and sweet for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! The vintage pic and doilies make it look like something my grandma would have made and handed down....great job.
