Find a big frame with glass. Mine is 20x16. You can always make this on a much smaller scale. Just add one monster or two.
Paint your frame
While that's drying grab the cardboard from the back of the frame
cut your paper to fit the size of your board. I did 2 pieces 12x7 to go across the bottom (this is where your characters will go) and and then used scraps to fit the remaining top 4 inches.Glue into place. I also sanded my paper a bit to give it a distressed look.
Cut out the basic shape of the face. Do this for your Frankenstein, Witch, and ghost.
Glue them onto your paper.
Cut out your title and glue it on
Add the glass and cardboard to your frame and your finished.
Well first you need to draw some cute faces and the best part is you can erase them and draw new ones over and over again.
Even your little ones can join in on the fun.
Make sure you use dry erase markers and it easily wipes off. You can also draw on the glass of framed family pictures to make them a little spooky as well. Or if you don't really want to bring out the markers you can finish the faces with paper before you frame it. It would be really cute as well.
That is an awesome idea, I love it!
