Spooky Haunted House
Hey there scrappers! Megan here bringing you another Altered Tuesday! Halloween is getting close and I’ve been having loads of fun making some little hybrids! I found a wooden haunted house at Michael’s and thought it’s be super cute if I dressed it up with some of Dani’s goodies! You don’t have to find a haunted house… you could just find a high-pitched birdhouse at the craft store and alter that!
So, here’s what I needed:
Crafting supplies: haunted house, black acrylic paint, Mod Podge, foam brush, Xacto knife, sanding sponge, black glitter, foam adhesive squares, wiggly eyes
First I prepared the house. I sanded out some of the rough edges and then painted it with my black craft paint.
I printed off some of the papers as 8×8’s on matte photo paper. Then I measured the surfaces of the house and cut out the pieces I needed. I was not at all exact and had a lot of overhang. I roughed up some of the painted surfaces with sand paper and then used Mod Podge to glue the papers on. I let my house sit for about a half hour to let the glue dry. Then I used my Xacto knife to trim off the excess paper. Don’t worry if your edges are messy and jagged… mine were! I went in with my sanding sponge to smooth out the edges and then used some more of my black paint to cover up my mistakes. I used a paper towel to smear the paint because I wanted a messy look.
Next I painted the stand with Mod Podge and dusted the glue with black glitter. Make sure when you use glitter that you protect your working surface with some paper to catch the extra glitter. Then I waited for it to dry and shook off the loose glitter.
I also printed off a few of the elements from Dani’s kit, along with some of the mini wood boards from Family Roots. I used the wood boards to “board up” the front door, attaching them with Mod Podge.
I also mounted a pumpkin and bat on foam adhesive squares. I added some wiggly eyes to the bat. And then I took the house outside and sealed it with a spray sealant! And that was it! Now I’ve got a super cute Halloween decoration!

I think that gold or silver bullion is better investment option than stocks. People think that value of gold will rise again. Visit the site about Krugerrand

I think that gold and silver bullion is much better investment option than stocks. I think that price of silver will rise again. Read the site about Silver Coin Values

I really liked the finished product on this a whole lot. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with just a few scraps. And if you can find some old wood lying around your garage you can even build the entire thing yourself for free.

You have actually made some excellent points here. I particularly liked how you fit so a lot valuable data into such a concise blog post which created it truly enjoyable to read your thoughts for the topic. IMHO you put lots of excellent facts in this article without all the filler that most bloggers use just to make their posts appear longer, which is ideal for a gal like me who doesn’t have considerably time cause I’m usually about the go. So numerous on the results on search engines are just unintelligible junk, it is nice to see a post that creates sense. I will definitely be adding this blog to my favorites list so I can share it with my friends. I appear forward to coming back to read your future posts also.
