If the Dollar Tree is not on your list of shopping for seasonal decor, then you are missing out my friend. They have a great selection of Halloween signs out this year and the possibilities of what to do with them are endless. I recently shared a blog post showing all of the goodies that my store had out. You can take a look here to see what I am talking about. The wood cut out selection has really increased this year and let me tell you, they really have some cool ones out. I came across this Dollar Tree Witch Sign and decided to grab it and see what I could do with it.
Halloween is definitely my favorite time of the year and any kind of Halloween project makes me happy! What I like about the blank wood signs is that you have a chance to get creative and make them your own style. If you have ever wondered how to paint one of these signs, I got you covered!
Here is what you will need for this project:
- dollar tree witch and cauldron sign
- glitter vase filler
- black, purple, white and gray paint
- ribbon
- 11×13 canvas from the dollar tree
- scrapbook paper
- mod podge
- glue gun
Instructions:
I first began by painting the cauldron, her hat and dress black.
For her face, I chose to go with the color Moss in Waverly Chalk Paint. It is the perfect green for a witch!
Next, was to figure out her hair. This part happens in a couple of steps. I painted the base of her hair gray. While it was still wet, I added in some black to give it dimension.
I added to warts on her nose with some brown paint.
This purple glitter ribbon was perfect to decorate her hat.
To create the look of her bubbling magic potion, I took the vase filler and hot glued it on top of the cauldron.
I wrote “HOCUS POCUS” on the cauldron with a chalk writer from the Dollar Tree to finish it off.
To create a base for the Witch sign, I took a 11×13 canvas that I had from the Dollar Tree and some scrapbook paper. I picked the scrapbook paper up over at Hobby Lobby. It definitely was giving me Disneyland Haunted Mansion wallpaper vibes. Can you see it too? I applied the paper to the canvas with mod podge.
Next, I hot glued the witch to the canvas. I added some purple paint to her dress for added dimension and the spider to her hat. That is all there is to it. I just love her and all of her spookiness!
I hope this project has inspired you to pick up of one of these wood cut outs so that you can make a Dollar Tree Witch Sign of your own. How will you decorate yours?
Pin for later!!
