Table of Contents
Materials Needed
- Two 6” wooden boards
- October Nights Mini Stencil Pack
- Stencil Brush Set
- Acrylic paints in pink, coral, purple, and lime green
- Baby wipes or paper towels
- Painters tape
- Blow dryer (optional, for faster drying)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Base Coat with Pink
Use a baby wipe to apply soft pink paint across both 6” boards. Make sure to cover the edges for a finished look. Speed up drying with a blow dryer if needed.
2. Stencil the Pumpkin Carving
On the first board, tape down the pumpkin carving design from the October Nights Mini Stencil Pack. Using a stencil brush, fill it in with coral paint for a soft, non-spooky look.
3. Stencil the Word “Boo”
On the second board, tape down the “Boo” stencil. Apply purple paint with your stencil brush. Add a second coat for bold coverage.
4. Add Rustic Borders
Return to the pumpkin carving board and lightly brush coral paint around the edges to create a subtle frame.
Do the same with the “Boo” board, this time using purple paint along the edges for a polished finish.
Helpful Tips
- Use baby wipes or paper towels for a soft, streak-free base coat.
- Always tape down your stencil to prevent shifting while painting.
- Less paint is more! Dab off excess before stenciling to avoid bleeding.
- Try making your boards reversible — Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other!
