31 Days: Day 2 Spooky Silhouette

Pin It Welcome to Day 2 of my October series: 31 Day of Fun Fall Projects.


I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's Bavarian Beer Soup!  Thank you for your comments and emails!  Keep following along…I still have 30 more fun projects to share!

Today I made a spooky Halloween silhouette that I found on Better Homes and Gardens website.  I was looking for something simple to make that I could display on our buffet.  The buffet is in the hallway near the front door - it's the first thing you see as you walk into our house - so I wanted something cute and simple…and festive!

I came across their Spooky Silhouettes project and I knew it would be perfect!  

I went to the store, bought black oaktag, and printed a silhouette outline from the website.  I used the Frankenstein silhouette but there is also a spooky witch outline.  I also found a black picture frame in our closet that wasn't being used.  I put the printed silhouette on top of the black oaktag and traced it with a ball point pen.  You'll have to push hard to make an indent in the black paper so you'll know where to cut.  Once you cut it out, glue it to a white piece of paper and insert it back into the frame.

Ta-da!


How do you like it?  It was incredibly easy to make and super cheap too!  It's a perfect addition to our Halloween decor.  Visit Better Homes and Gardens to print a silhouette and make one for your home!

Be sure to check in tomorrow for Day 3!
