We’re getting into the Halloween spirit with a gorgeous Spooky Moon Sign tutorial from Tammy Muto of Cheers to Creativity. This layered project blends deep fall colors, eerie moonlight, and dramatic silhouettes — perfect for your fall decor!
Place the moon stencil in the center of your 10x10 wood canvas. Lightly trace the outline, then remove the stencil.
Using a sponge, dab orange paint into the corners of your traced moon outline.
While the orange paint is still damp, sponge on yellow and red paint. Blend using a tapping motion for a smooth gradient.
Tap in touches of black paint to darken the edges and give your sky a moody, eerie feel.
Reposition the moon stencil and secure it with painter’s tape. Fill in with a light yellow base coat.
Blend orange, black, and red paint at the bottom of the moon for a dramatic shadow effect.
Use the second layer of the stencil to dab white paint in the upper part of the moon, creating crater-like spots.
Remove the stencil, then lightly brush orange along the moon’s edges for a glowing halo effect.
Using a detail brush and black paint, create thin, branching silhouettes for your trees.
Position the bat stencil from the Moons Crows Bats Sign Stencils set and fill in with black paint.
