Halloween Gallery Wall Art

September 23, 2015 by Holly Gagnon 12 Comments

Gallery Walls are always a popular home decor trend.   I’ve seen Gallery Walls made up of monograms, old windows and of course family photos.   I decided to make a  DIY Halloween Gallery Art project of my own that  makes quite a colorful and unique Halloween decor statement too.

I don’t do scary Halloween.  You will nevah-evah catch me in a Haunted House.  Evah!    However, my neighbor’s house has like scary baby dolls hanging from their porch.  Ack- reminds me of Chucky.    My porch is cute Halloween , lots of pumpkins  with a few  bats thrown in that carries on through to the inside of my house.    Purple and green are  my favorite colors to decorate with for  Halloween and they just happen to be the colors I used to create my own Halloween Art with.

Halloween Wood Plaques found at JoAnn's. Perfect to make in to a Gallery Wall

I was in Joann’s the other day and found all sorts of Seasonal wood projects to create with.  I picked out  these Wood Wall Plaques  and thought they would make a great Gallery Wall project using the  DecoArt Mixed Media Line.

These are the DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics colors I chose for this project:

Cadmium Orange Hue Fluid Acrylics
Dioxazine Purple Fluid Acrylics
Green Gold Fluid Acrylics
Titanium White Fluid Acrylics
Titanium White Fluid Acrylics
Violet Interference

Halloween Wood Plaques painted with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics

 

I painted the wood on each plaque two different colors then painted a third color inside the groves.  Since  DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylics contain high quality pigments, they absorb in to the wood very well.

 

DecoArt Interference Violet ads a pretty shimmer on to wood

 

The Dioxazine Purple Fluid Acrylic paint was a little darker than I preferred,  so I painted  a coat of  Violet Interference over it to lighten the purple pigment up a bit and provide a  pretty shimmer. Worked great too!

 

Colored Burlap hot glued on the the back of a Halloween Wood Plaque

 

After the paints were dry,  I turned the plaques over and hot glued orange, green and black burlap on to the backs.   Who knew burlap came in so many fun colors plus you can never , ever go wrong with burlap!

I love the way my Halloween Gallery Wall Art turned out and how it adds a sophisticated  Halloween statement in to my home too.   It  was also a simple project  to make using the paints found in the DecoArt Media line.
