I've been working on some new Halloween yard signs. These two guys are super simple and adorable. I cut out a wobbly little shape and then used house paint to paint a basecoat for my ghost. The exterior paint should help prevent the ghost from warping if there is a lot of rain this fall. I then went back and added a few details and flecked on some black paint with toothbrush to give the white a little character.
For the witches hats I did some curvy triangles and then I could out the little hilly shape. I bought a star at a craft store (b/c small wood is tricky to cut with a jig saw). I used wood glue to attach it all together and then nails to reinforce the glue and add it to the stake. I also put a coat of polycrylic over the whole thing to help give it another layer of weather proofing.
