Wicked Witch Halloween Decorative Board Tutorial

I love making decorative boards to my on my shelves and mantle for the holidays.  A couple of weeks ago I shared my Crow and Candelabra Wood Board and today I am going to share my Wicked Witch Board.  It is pretty much the same idea but I added just a few more steps.  I bought the paper for this project several years ago but you could use this idea with other halloween papers that you find.

Wicked Witch Halloween Decorative Board

Supplies Needed:

• Wood Board
• Scrapbook Paper with nice image
• Black Paint and Paint Brush
• Paper Cutter
• Black Ink
• Mod Podge
• Vinyl or stickers that spell out Wicked
• Glitter Glue (you can always check out my Glitter Glue Tutorial)

Okay so let me show you how easy this is.  The board I picked out for this project is 5 1/2  inches wide and comes in different lengths.

I grabbed it in the finished wood section of Home Depot.

 

I measured and cut my paper to figure out how tall I wanted the wood and cut my board to about 1/2 inch taller.  My board is 10 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Next I painted the board black and inked the eges of my paper in black ink.

 

Once the board was dry I spread Mod Podge onto the board and then centered the paper and pressed it down onto the board/Mod Podge.  Press the paper everywhere to get out any air bubbles.  I use a plastic scraper/squeegie (you could use a credit card) to press the paper down and slide out any air bubbles.  Wipe off any excess Mod Podge with a paper towel and let dry.  The Mod Podge will dry clear.

 

Once the paper and mod podge is dry I add my vinyl word that says Wicked.  If you don’t have vinyl you could use stickers.

I like to add  some Mod podge over the top that has glitter to give it a fun look as well as seal the vinyl onto the board.  I have a quick tutorial on how to make glitter glue if you need it.

So fun and wickedly cute for Halloween!
