Materials

Instructions

  • Spray paint the wood blocks, each with one of the spray paint colors. Let dry.
  • Apply wax to the edges of the blocks with the candle. Rub on all edges.
  • Apply contrasting paint top coats. Paint the white block with orange, the black block with white, and the orange block with black. Let dry.
  • Sand away some of the paint on the edges (where wax was applied) to reveal the paint beneath.
  • Cut the Halloween paper down to 3 1/4 squares - you'll need six pieces per block.
  • Apply a layer of Mod Podge to one side of the block. Smooth the paper down and wipe away excess Mod Podge. Let dry. Repeat with the remaining sides.
  • Apply a top coat to the block and let dry. Apply a finishing sealer and let dry (optional).
  • Repeat with remaining blocks and display.
