            It’s finally October and all everyone thinks about in the month of October is Halloween. It’s not really Halloween without a little decoration. There are some easy crafts you can make for the upcoming holiday by yourself!

What You’ll Need:

·      Canvas

·      Paint (orange & black; or just Halloween themed)

·      12"x12"x1-1/2" small chalkboard

·      Halloween themed ribbon (1 YD, maybe less or more)

·      Scissors

·      Tacks (or you can use glue gun again)

·      Hot glue gun

·      Paint (to your liking) or colored chalk

How to:

·      First, you will need to paint the canvas with any color of your choice. Make sure it is that one solid color.

·      Then, you will need to hot glue the chalkboard on top once the paint is dry.

·      Next, you will need to cut the ribbon to fit around the chalkboard and glue it down, then let it dry.

·      After the glue dries, you will need to take ribbon and either glue or tack it on the back of the canvas to make a loop to hang it up from.

·      Once the glue is dried, use the chalk to write on the chalkboard something scary or Halloween related such as : “Ghostly greetings!”, “Stop in for a spell!”, “Please park all brooms at the door!” or another catchy phrase.

·      Once everything is dry, choose a place to display it such as your living room, kitchen or front door!
