Halloween Trick or Treat Countdown
{this post contains affliate referencing products used}
Now that the Halloween decorations are out and about, the “How many days until Trick or Treating?” question is repeated daily. My daughter is still little and doesn’t really have a concept of time. So this Halloween Trick or Treat countdown chalkboard just perfect for her.
To make the countdown, I decoupaged Halloween paper on to a small chalkboard using Mod Podge then used my Cricut and the Mini Monsters cartridge to cut out the the Trick or Treat die cut and layers.
I used my Cruct again to cut out the words “days till” using white vinyl.
To embellish the chalkboard countdown, I made DIY googly eyed Ghost using table scatter to adhere n the front.
When I saw this ghost table scatter at Target I was like “Oh- wouldn’t they be sooo cute with googly eyes? So that’s what I just did. I used Micro Glue Dots® and tweezers to adhere the googly eyes on to the ghost table scatter. The google eyes are 1/8 inch and the Micro Glue Dots® are 1/8 inch…Hello….Perfect fit!
I also made the ghost appear to float by attaching them on to 20 gauge black wire. I love the way our Halloween Trick or Treat Countdown turned out and so now, my candy loving lil’ Reesie Pieces can let the countdown begin!
