Another Mini Halloween Tombstone Project

Hey, Halloweenies! Did you see the first Garden Edging Turned Mini Halloween Tombstone project? I'm back with a second Halloween project for that wooden garden edging I found at a garage sale over a year ago. 

 

MINI HALLOWEEN TOMBSTONE

WITH CANDLELIGHT

SUPPLIES

• vintage wooden garden edging shaped like tombstone
• needle nose pliers with wire cutter
• Norton Sanding Bug from Rockler Woodworking
• DecoArt Frame Stencil called "Trick or Treat"
• DecoArt Stencil Paint in "shimmering silver"
• DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint in "soft black"
• 1" foam brush from Rockler
• PK Glitz glitter in "crystal"
• Sand blasting sand
• Jar
• Tea light candle

STEP 1: Cut apart the wires connecting the garden edging using a wire cutter.

I used the one built into my needle nose pliers.

STEP 2: Distress the piece using the Norton Sanding Bug from Rockler.

STEP 3: Place the "Trick or Treat" frame stencil from DecoArt on the wood.
Use the Rockler  foam brush to dob on the DecoArt shimmering silver paint.

STEP 4: While the paint is still wet, apply the PK Glitz "crystal" glitter.

STEP 5: Place the stencil and  paint the cat figure by dobbing it with the foam brush and soft black acrylic paint.

STEP 6: Let it dry.

STEP 7: Fill the bottom of a jar with black sand blasting material. Place the tombstone.
Add a tealight candle. Light the candle.

Wouldn't this be great by the front door to welcome your trick or treaters?

What do you do to welcome

your tick or treaters?
