DIY Halloween Welcome Sign


Hi......
I know, this post is coming after a looong time.....
But now its Halloween :)) and I am so excited!!!
To welcome Halloween, I made this "Welcome Sign" as a start to mark the decorations...

Halloween Welcome Sign

 I started with the leaves first....
I cut green handmade paper in the following manner......



Then I folded over the paper cutting, in the centre......
Also, I curled the long curvy strips to resemble the tendrils......
Then I scored the leaves from the back to show the veins......
It looked like in the picture below......



I kept this aside and started with the pumpkin.....
I cut a pumpkin shape from orange handmade paper....


Then I scored it from behind to show the ridges......
It looked something like this......


 I colored the pumpkin shape to resemble a real pumpkin......



After I was done coloring, I attached the stem part to the top of the pumpkin with glue.....



But, it was not over yet......
I painted the word 'WELCOME' along the centre of the pumpkin.....



After it all dried up, I glued a thin floral wire on the stem to hang......
The fruit of my labor ;) hangs on my door welcoming one and all.....


I am all geared up for Halloween, and will keep you posted on my further decorations.....
Please do comment to let me know of your opinion........
Thanks for visiting and Happy Halloween!!!
