DIY: BOO!

 This was the inspiration picture off of Pinterest. I had just bought a seasonal pack of scrapbook paper at 50% off for $9.99 and two Halloween themed cricut cartridges.
 I bought these letters at Hobby Lobby for about $2 each. Maybe that's expensive to you but I know these will never fall apart.
With black acrylic paint, I painted all of the outside edges of the letters. Perfection was not a concern because the imperfections would be covered with scrapbook paper.
I set the letters backwards on the white side of the scrapbook paper. I then traced the letters onto the paper and cut them out. Using homemade Modge Podge (half glue, half water), I attached the paper to the letters.
Then, I used my black ribbon to tie the letters together. I tied the ribbon in a bow and used some craft glue to help keep the ribbon in place.
 Hanging on the wall.
After I hung the BOO on the wall, my Halloween Cricut cartridges arrived. I cut out three 2" ghosts and used my Modge Podge to attach them.
