Southern Gumption: Trick or Treat

I was inspired by a post on Woman's Day for this Halloween craft.

Supplies

Newspaper
Black construction paper/scrapbook paper
Glue
Twine
Silver Paint
Stencil
Paintbrush
Ruler

Directions

Cut the newspaper into large strips 4"x8 1/2"

Fold the newspaper into halves longways and glue the edges together. Make sure that you don't glue all the way to the fold or you won't be able to string the twine through. I used krazy glue because I'm hoping these will last for a few Halloween's past this one. You could easily use regular glue or tape instead.

Cut the black scrapbook paper into pieces a little smaller than the folded newspaper.

Glue the black scrapbook paper onto the newspaper pieces.

Trace the letters to spell 'Trick Or Treat' onto the paper.

Paint the letters! I did three coats, but you may need more depending on your paint.

Coat with clear coat to make it waterproof. I did three coats on each side, letting each side dry before I would flip it to coat the other side.

String up and hang on your porch!
