BOO!



This is an easy to make Halloween sign that can be hung anywhere in your house to add a little decoration & holiday spirit!

Materials:
scrapbook paper, white card stock, scissors, computer, printer, glue, ribbon, hole punch

Directions:
1. On your computer, print BOO in your favorite font. This will be your stencil for the sign. I printed mine on card stock to make it more sturdy.

2. Cut out the letters that you just printed.
3. Trace your letters on a piece of scrapbook paper. **Make sure to trace the letters backwards**
4. Cut the letters out.
5. Using the white card stock, make a background for your letters. I make my card stock about a 1/2 inch wider and longer than my letters. A good size to go by is 4 x 6. You will need one piece for each letter.
6. Then, glue the letters on to the card stock.
7. Next, you want to have a border for your white card stock. Use a different pattern of scrapbook paper and cut 3 pieced slightly bigger than the white card stock. Glue the card stock on top of the scrapbook paper. You now have your finished letters.
8. Punch a hole in the top center and bottom center of the B and the first O. Then, punch a hole in the top center of the last O.
9. Cut 2 4-inch pieced of thin ribbon & 1 piece of 6 inch ribbon. String the ribbon through the holes to connect the letters. I used a little hot glue to glue the ribbon on the back of the signs.
10. Tie a bow in the top piece and hang.
