Make this quick and easy project and add it to your DIY Halloween decor!
Author Angie Holden

What You Will Need

  • Piece of scrap wood
  • Pencil
  • Paint black, white, purple, and glitter (optional)
  • Black cardstock (optional)
  • Glue (optional)

Instructions

  • Use a pencil to lightly sketch your basic design right on the wood. I recommend beginning with the outline of the background bat.
  • Paint the sign with spray paint, leaving the basic bat shape unpainted. Don't forget to paint the edges of the board, so your sign looks complete.
  • Paint the shape of the background bat using a paintbrush and paint. Don't worry about making it look perfect.
    Allow the paint to dry.
  • Sketch the word that you’d like on your Beware Halloween sign with your pencil. 
  • Paint your word with a paintbrush and white paint over the sketched word
  • Optional, you can cut out some bats from cardstock to glue onto your sign while you wait for the paint to dry.
    Use sealant or paint on them if you want to make them weather-resistant.
    Once the lettering dries, glue the bats to the Halloween Beware sign.
