Paint Me Plaid

Your Halloween décor will “stand-out” with this cute pumpkin plaque. Designed by the talented Laura Bray this project was created using FolkArt acrylic paint, and Mod Podge. This plaque would look great hanging from a wall or a door in your home. This project is for any level crafter, and takes up to an hour to complete. Not everything you create for Halloween needs to be spooky, take this cue from Laura and create a more decorative project for the holiday.
