Table of Contents
Materials Needed
- Arch wood board (found at Michaels or craft stores)
- White acrylic paint
- Brown acrylic paint
- Spatula or scraper tool
- Spooky Haunted House Rub-on Transfer Set
- Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool
- Paintbrush
- Blow dryer (optional, for faster drying)
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.
4. Final Reveal
That’s it! Your spooky Halloween arch sign is ready to display on a shelf, entryway table, or mantle. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and Halloween spirit.
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 — 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.
