I promise I’m not obsessed with door decor, but it sure seems like I am. Our previous posts for a burlap bubble wreath and ribbon wreath tutorials might make one think differently!
I am not a huge fan of Halloween decorations, but I LOVE my front door right now. I took down my Fall wreath which you can see here. Normally I’d just leave it up for the whole month of October and November, but this year is different. My BOO sign is just too sparkly and fun. There are very few items needed for this and I was able to whip it up in about 20 minutes – the longest part was waiting for the spray paint to dry!
Supplies Needed:
- Thin, lightweight wooden letters found at your local craft store
- Black spray paint
- Black glitter
- Orange ribbon
- Stapler
- Clear protective spray (optional)
How to:
Once you buy your letters, lay them out and start spraying with your spray paint. I preferred spraying half a letter at a time and would glitter that half. My spray paint basically acted like a glue for my glitter. Then, spray the other half and sprinkle with glitter. Be generous with the glitter! You can just dump the access off and back into your glitter container. Just like in 1st grade.
Now that your letters are sprayed, glittered and dry you may want to spray again with a clear protective spray. I did this just to make sure my glitter doesnt go anywhere. Dry.
Wrap two letters at a time with ribbon and staple the ends of the ribbon. Make sure the ends are on the back of the letters! So, the B and O will be connected and the O and O will be. Take some extra ribbon {I prefer wired} and tie some to the top of the B to use as a hanger on your door.
