Tools
- Personal die-cut machine or craft knife
- Hot glue gun and sticks
- Remove glass and backing materials from all frames.
- Spray paint frames with Krylon® Make It Stone!® in Black Granite; allow to dry completely.
- To cut stencils, use a personal die-cut machine to cut each of the words “Trick”, “or”, and “Treat” from the center of an 8”x10” piece of adhesive-backed vinyl. If you don’t have a die-cut machine, trace letters onto vinyl and cut out with a craft knife. Remove each of the words from the vinyl rectangles, creating stencils.
- Position and adhere stencils on center of glass with the stencil for “or” on the 5”x7” glass and the words “Trick” and “Treat” on the 8”x10” sheets of glass.
- Spray paint each stenciled glass with a different color of Krylon®
Indoor/Outdoor Paint. Carefully remove stencils while last coat of paint is not
quite dry.
Note: If paint is allowed to dry completely before removing stencil the letter will lift off of the glass surface.
- With paint pens, on the backside of the glass, draw a spider’s web on a corner of the top glass and extend the web onto the lower sections of glass. Draw a spider on the lower glass section, as detailed in project photo.
- Insert glass back into frames leaving out all other backing materials; bend framing clips back onto glass to secure in place. If necessary to secure glass, add beads of hot glue around glass on the back of frame assuring it can not be seen from the front.
- Lay frames upside down on flat surface. Position frames with a 1” gap between them. Cut black grosgrain ribbon into 4” pieces. Using a hot glue gun, adhere ribbon to backside of frames sections, linking them together.
- From the decorative ribbon, cut an 18” length. Hot glue ends of ribbon to top corners of top frame creating a loop. With remaining ribbon, tie a bow around center of the loop.
