It seems like Halloween should be a long ways off still, but it’s coming, and if you are going to make decor, now is a good time to start. Last week I received a fun box in the mail full of Halloween crafting supplies. The challenge for me was to create some cute Halloween decor with the items I received.
This is what I came up with. Let me show you how it’s made.
I started with the blank plate and used 2″ wide painters tape and taped off stripes on the plate, painted and then peeled the tape off.
After the plate was painted, I used a little piece of sandpaper and distressed the plate. The plate was distressed when I got it, but after I painted, it had to be redone.
Next, using some black vinyl and my Cricut, I cut out my letters and applied them with transfer tape.
For the dot of the exclamation point, I decided to make and accordion flower (using this tutorial) and put a spider on it. I love what it adds to the word “eek!”
Here are some close ups of the distressing! I LOVE it! 🙂
This was such and easy project to finish! It only took me about an hour.
After working on this project, I’m getting so excited to decorate for Halloween! I did get my fall decorations out yesterday, but I’m waiting another month to get the Spooky decor out. 🙂 I did put my plate up on my shelf with my pumpkins though, just to see how they look.
What a fun plate display! I really like the little spider. 🙂
I really love your plate!
That is darling! I love the stripes and the distressing!
I agree with Leanne, the distressing definitely adds an extra touch! Very cute.
Sooooo cute!

Cute–I love how it’s distressed!
Great decor idea. I think I need to make a red and white stripe one that says “obSEUSSed”. It would look great in my office.
Oh my goodness I love that! I love your whole shelf display with the pumpkins too! SO so cute! I’m so happy I found your blog on Sumos Sweet stuff! We are your newest followers! http://moresisterstuff.blogspot.com/

Love the plate! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is adorable! I LOVE the stripes and the exclamation point!
What kind of plate did you use? Is it plastic or ceramic? It’s super cute!
The plate I used was wooden. I’m not sure where you’d be able to find one like it.
