Here is what you will need to make your own Dollar Tree Halloween Ghost Sign:

Dollar Tree Picture Frame
Dollar Tree Metal Ghost
Scrapbook Paper
Ribbon
White Paint
Mod Podge
Glue Gun

To get started, I removed the cardboard backing from the picture frame and painted the edges of it black. The size of the frame that I am using is 11 x 16 and the scrapbook paper is 12 x12. It didn’t quite cover all of the cardboard up.

Next, I applied Mod Podge onto the cardboard with a paintbrush and let it dry completely.

When it was dry, I placed the scrapbook paper on top and placed a heat mat over it. Next, I used a small iron and ironed over the mat. NOTE: If you do not have a heat mat, you can also use a piece of parchment paper. This is a great way to apply the Mod Podge, as it smoothes out any potential wrinkles and creates a great bond.

I gave the metal ghost a couple coats of white chalk paint. At first I tried plain white acrylic paint, but it didn’t stick to it very well. I ended up wiping it off with a paper towel and re-applied the paint with Rust-o-leum Chalk Paint. That worked much better!

How to decorate your Dollar Tree Halloween Ghost Sign

To add some texture, I decided to hot glue some black and white striped ribbon onto the edges of the cardboard piece. I thought that it finished it off nicely.

Next up, I printed off the words, “Hey Boo” from my Cricut machine. The font that I used it is called Artisan Bread. It looks very similar to Rae Dunn, don’t ya think?

Lastly, I hot glued the ghost on top of the the scrapbook paper and assembled the frame back together! That’s all there is too it.

I think it’s just the cutest, spooky little ghost ever! I hope that you do too. It looks super cute sitting on my mantel next to the Spooky Halloween Ghost Garland. I can’t wait to get to decorating my whole mantel in a cute, little ghost theme.
