Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep and Paint the Base

Apply a solid coat of white acrylic paint to your arched board. Use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. Once dry, add a second coat to achieve smooth and full coverage.

2. Apply the Halloween Transfer

Select your favorite haunted design from the Spooky Haunted House Rub-on Transfer Set. Position it in the center of your board and firmly rub it down with the Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool until the design fully adheres.

3. Distress the Edges

Dip a spatula into brown paint and lightly offload the excess. Drag the spatula gently along the edges and sweep across a few inner areas. This technique adds a rustic, weathered finish that complements the haunted house design.

Helpful Tips

  • Always make sure your paint is completely dry before applying a rub-on transfer.
  • If your surface is slick, lightly sand it before adding the transfer for better adhesion.
  • Start with light distressing β€” you can always add more, but it’s harder to tone down heavy spots.
  • Heat can help smooth out any wrinkles in your transfer if needed.
