Craft weekend project.
Sadly this cute hat and witch letter set doesn’t belong to me 🙁 I made it for my Mom (because I am awesome like that). The cute bats can be yours if you enter our giveaway!!
We’re lucky enough to live close to a place called The Wood Connection. They have the cutest naked (if you wanna call it that) wood letters, shapes, boards, etc… that you could want.
For the hat I painted the whole thing black and then I traced the piece of wood to get the shape for my hat (the stripes) and used Mod Podge to stick it on. I used Mod Podge to trace down the black lines in the stripe and all over the bottom and sprinkled a lot of black glitter on it. Once it was dry I inked the edges all around the paper and added the little jewels. The spider is hanging by a piece of thread. The purple is glittery tulle just cut into strips and then gathered a bit in the back to make it a nice little puff and glued on. The moon I painted yellow and again used Mod Podge to stick the glitter on. Once it was all dry I used a spray clear coat over the whole thing.
For the W I painted it all a green to match the paper, used Mod Podge to stick the paper down, sanded it a bit and then used stain to antique the edges. I used Mod Podge to seal the whole thing and then tied a cute ribbon around it.
This little witch was some work 🙂 She is the *I* in witch and she’s sporting a lot of paint, the stripes are paper Mod Podged on I then used black glitter again for the stripes and for the trim of the black around the stripes. I used the same purple glitter tulle and made her a little cape and put ribbon around to make it look like a tie closure. I used orange raffia for her hair and then added some glitter to the striped parts of the bead board on the brim of her hat. She also got a clear coat spray to help set all the glitter.
The T is just painted a really pretty sparkly purple and then again used a lot of glitter and did a clear coat spray to set it (the clear coat spray doesn’t take away from the sparkle of the glitter like Mod Podge does).
The C I painted orange, put paper on with Mod Podge and then sanded and stained it. I also used a black stamp pad to ink the edges. I then tied 5 different ribbons on it.
The cute little cat replaces the *H* and is just painted black and sanded and stained on the edges. He got a cute green/white polka-dot ribbon around his neck, green jewel eyes and it’s hard to tell in the picture but I used black wire to create his nose and his curly whiskers (I need to paint the staple I used to attach it).
It really turned out so cute. I cannot wait to make my own because I love how they look on my 1/2 wall!
