Looking for a festive Halloween project that’s fun, a little rustic, and perfect for your front door? Melissa Bradshaw of Junk and Craft Treasures shared how to make this charming Ghostly Greetings Door Hanger using Essential Stencil’s 16” round stencil set. With layered colors, a ghostly face, and playful bats and stars, this sign is a spooky-cute addition to your fall décor!
Center the Ghostly Greetings stencil on a 16” round. Use painter’s tape across the top and bottom edges to create dividers for your background paint.
Mix a little water with brown paint and brush it across the top section. Blow dry, then apply a second coat for depth.
Remove the tape and shift it upward. Paint the middle with watered-down plum purple and dry.
Next, remove the bottom tape and move it upward. Paint the bottom with orange.
Once dry, rub wood stain over the orange with a clean towel. Spritz water and wipe back to tone down brightness for a rustic look.
Remove tape. Position the ghost stencil at the top and swirl white paint in circular motions. Apply two coats for a bold, even finish.
Stencil stars with mustard yellow. Then, use the ghost face stencil and fill with black paint.
Center the Ghostly Greetings word stencil and fill with white paint. Then add the bat stencil: moons in white, bats in black, and stars in mustard yellow.
Let dry completely, then lightly sand for a smooth, rustic finish.
