Easy Ghost Craft


                                        
GHOST LEANERS
from fence planks

I wanted to make some Halloween Ghost Leaners.
These are used to sit about anywhere you need some decorations,
but without nailing, pushing into the ground or hanging them.
They are easy leaners.

I first just rounded off the tops of a bunch
of varying sizes of fence planks with a jigsaw.


Then I freehanded some quirky "boo" faces on each
and just cut them out.



I also made a few square pumpkin lanterns
with the same wood while I was working.



Here's a group pic of them all.


Then I went and propped them up,
spray painting each side in a Rustoleum white.


This will help seal the wood for a good while also.






And since Christmas is just about 3 weeks ahead,
here's and idea of how you can paint those extra,
vintage Christmas tree bulbs.

I just made a circle in white, painted a little face,
sprinkled it all with spatter white for snow,
and added a wire hanger and some greenery.

Frosty Snowman Face


This was a plain, glass cube used for wall dividers and such.
Since it had a cold, frosty look to it I wanted to paint a snowman
face on it.
I went onto Pinterest and searched for Snowman Faces.
I found one I loved and just started painting it on
with acrylics.




After I finished the painting, I used a Rust oleum clear coat spray paint and gave the paint a
sealed finished.




 

Dollar Tree Cutting boards $1.25 each

 

These cute gingerbread man signs first started their life
as the $1.25 cutting boards at the Dollar Tree.


I liked the wood, so I started painting on the for Christmas.

One of them I hand painted a Gingerbread man.
The other I burned a Gingerbread House with my laser 
and then painted it.









I added all kinds of little pine combs and berries.
