Wednesdays with Handmade Charlotte: DIY Painting Projects For The Entire Family

by Handmade Charlotte 

I love when a craft project involves the entire family. Our family loves to make things and when we can do it together it’s even more fun. I tracked down some seriously fun projects for you and the entire gang. The younger members of your family will enjoy splatter paint projects and the slightly older have fun with stripes and bold color blocking. Have your family create their own DIY painting projects with Plaid’s FolkArt craft paints. Let me know about your favorite crafty activities that involve the entire family. I love traditions and want to hear about yours.

Guest Post from East Coast Mommy: Along Came A Spider

I am love crafts that are cute, easy, and inexpensive, and this Halloween sign definitely ticks all three boxes.  Can you believe this adorable sign started out as a $2 wooden plaque from the dollar store?

Want to make one?

First, get the plaque ready for decorating. 

  a)  Lightly sand the rough edges.

  b)  Paint the edge of the plaque black.  {You don’t have to be neat because you will be applying scrapbook paper next.}

  c)  Cut some festive scrapbook paper to fit the top of the plaque, and apply using Mod Podge.

Web Wednesday: Bewitching Halloween Décor

Not everything you create for Halloween needs to be scary. Take a cue from Heather from Whipperberry and this elegant Halloween decor she made. These decorations are great to dress up a table or mantle in your home. Heather used small plates, mason jar lids, Dimensional Magic, and a new Mod Podge formula called antique. Black and White is a huge trend for this Halloween season. It can be seen on home décor, to painted pumpkins. To get in on this trend click here to learn how Heather made this.
