I love it when a craft is cheap, easy and cute. Last week, I picked up 3 cute Halloween cutouts from Dollar Tree. I didn’t have a plan in my mind, but for $3, I knew I would come up with something.
There are so many possibilities with cutouts. Paint them and add them to wreaths, hang them on their own, or get inspired by things you see on a different shopping trip like I did. I found a canvas and some cute fabric and my idea came together! It’s so simple! (Scroll down to watch the tutorial video from Thursday Night LIVE.)
Here’s what you need:
Supplies
11 x 14 canvas (Hobby Lobby)
1/2 yd. of fabric (Hobby Lobby)
Haunted House cutout (Dollar Tree)
Black craft paint
Paint brush
Scissors
Glue gun and glue sticks
Directions
- Paint the haunted house cutout black and let dry.
- Cut your fabric to fit to the canvas. Keeping your pattern even and pulling the fabric tight, glue the edges of fabric to the back of the canvas.
- Attach the haunted house cutout to the fabric-covered canvas using your hot glue gun.
- Hang or stand your new Halloween decor. Take a look!
