Materials needed:
An old frame of any size
Foam brushes
Mod Podge
White glue
Black poster paint
Plastic spiders, skeletons, or other Halloween trinkets
Spider webs (or stretched out cotton balls)
A family photo copied in black in white on white paper
Newspaper
Scissors
Google eyes
Directions:
First take a sponge brush and use it to paint the wooden outside of the frame black, it looks spookier if you leave it streaky! Then take your newspaper, measure to the size of the back of the frame and cut out what you will need.
Then, take the foam brush and do splotches of black all over the newspaper. Next, clean the foam brush and use it with either the decoupage glue or equal parts water and white glue to decoupage newspaper to the back of the frame. To decoupage, first put glue on the back of the frame and then put newspaper on top. Do another coat of glue, spreading with the foam brush, on top of the newspaper.
Now, take your picture and glue google eyes on the eyes of the people in the picture. Then, spread glue on back of the picture and stick in on to the newspaper. Now, coat it again with a thin layer of glue and glue on your spider web at various points throughout. Lastly, glue on your Halloween trinkets and let the craft dry overnight.
