I'm not one to decorate for Halloween, I prefer to just decorate for fall. My kids are always begging for scary decorations! I decided to compromise and instead make this cute Boo door hanging instead!
Reusing is so big right now. We all have corrugated cardboard boxes laying around, so let's reuse them!
I cut out 3 same size circles (I think I made mine 4 inches) from a sheet of cardboard. I covered each piece with patterned paper and let the adhesive dry. Once dry, I grabbed ahold of the edge and ripped the top layer of cardboard and paper off, revealing the corrugation.
Place a mask on the circle and spritz with some shimmer spray. I used a blue shimmery Maya Mist for this. I then removed the mask and sprayed with an orange Maya Mist. This made the webbing orange. I love the different hues you get from the ripped cardboard and paper! Repeat this on all 3 circles.
Next, I cut out some spooky goodness from the Cricut Paper Dolls cartridge. I spritzed the white skeleton with some Glimmer Mist so he wasn't so white.
I also spritzed a Grungeboard swirl with the mists.
I cut out “BOO” from the Cricut Plantain Schoolbook cartridge. I painted the letters with the distress crackle paint. Once dry, I rubbed a black ink pad over top to bring out the crackle more. I also coated them with some glitter paint to make them pop a bit more.
Once I had all of my embellishments picked out, I attached the 3 circles together, with the middle one sitting on top of the end ones. Add all the embellies and some trim as a hanger and you have a cute little decoration!!
Here are some other views. I used foam dots to get some depth. You can see these a bit from a side view, but head on they are invisible.




Hope you like this fun project!! This is fun for kids to do too!
