Halloween How-to: Fun and Spooky Monster Garland for After-school Craft

skull and crossbones for Halloween monster garland

This post is coming to you from Tami M., contributing blogger, mom to a second grader, and all around great gal!

If you’ve been shopping lately, you’ve learned that Halloween is NOW. In our home this holiday of ghouls, ghosts and monsters is bigger than Christmas. Our late-summer days have been filled with crafting decorations for what my seven-year-old daughter describes as “the greatest night of the year.” As we transition into the school season, a stenciled Monster Garland is an easy, mess-free after-school activity that uses tools and supplies you’ll probably have on hand. We’re using this garland as the centerpiece of our Halloween fireplace-scape but it can easily be used just about anywhere in the home. This is a work in progress—pumpkins and other fall festiveness to come.

For your Halloween Monster garland, you will need:

-Multiple 5.75″ x6″ monster stencils. We chose an owl, a skull and crossbones, an evil jack-o’-lantern, Frankenstein, a raven, a skeleton and Dracula.

-Paper (we used sheets from an Artist’s Loft Watercolor Pad)

-An ink pad

-Round paintbrush

-Painter’s tape

-Hole puncher

-Baker’s twine

Step 1: Start by selecting your stencil design and figure out placement on the paper. Be sure to tape the stencil to the paper so that it doesn’t move while painting. Painter’s tape is a must so that it doesn’t damage the paper when peeling off.

Step 2: Once you are ready to paint, dab the ink onto the brush and then dab dab dab onto your stencil. The ink pad is very forgiving and won’t bleed under the stencil but never say never so do a few test runs to find out the ideal amount of ink that you’ll want for your design.

Step 3: When finished, remove stencil and let dry. *Remember, this craft is not about perfection. It’s an activity that is both structured and open-ended so let the kids explore with designs and color. We stuck with a black and white theme because those are the supplies we had in the craft cupboard.

Step 4: String your monsters together to assemble the garland. Add pumpkins and pots of mums to embellish.

Looking for activities to get the kids excited for the school year? This ombre butterfly backpack is a fun craft for kids of all ages! Having a customized backpack will distinguish your backpack from the rest of the kids in school, you will always know it’s yours! Guest Blogger Jaylin created this project for us and she’s 16 and getting ready for school herself!

For this project you will need:

-Stencil1’s 5.75×6 butterfly stencil (This can also be done with Stencil1’s butterfly two-layer stencil)

–Fabric paint (we used 3 colors, but you can use up to 4)

-Paint brushes 

-Spray adhesive 

-A backpack

Step 1: Start with a clean Backpack. Planning placement is a great way to start your stenciling project. Place some firm cardboard in the backpack to give your stencil support. Apply spray adhesive to the back of the stencil, the carefully place stencil on the backpack. Be sure that the stencil is secure to the backpack and is not lifting in any areas, this will keep the paint from getting under the stencil.

Step 2: Apply a coat of your base color, we used white. It’s ok if some of the paint gets under the stencil. This happened so we decided to fill in the entire butterfly shape with white paint, a silhouette shape. Lift the stencil while the paint is still wet and fill in the butterfly’s silhouette. Let dry or dry with hair drier.

Step 2: Begin painting your second coat of paint, we used light blue – It took one coat of paint to achieve full coverage.

Step 3: Before the second coat of paint is completely dry, use your third paint color to paint the edges of the butterflies wings, we used a darker blue. Don’t be scared to blend some of the third color into the previous coat of paint. This will create a softer transition between the colors.

Step 4: When the paint is completely dry you can carefully remove the stencil to reveal the image.

How to Stencil a Skateboard

This post comes to us From Charley Roth and shows you how she customized a skate deck with Stencil1 stencils. Make your skateboard a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art with stencils. Here’s what you need:

Featured Materials:

• Brick Stencil
• Heart Dripping Stencil
• Drip Marks Stencil
• Tattoo Cherries Stencil
• Stencil brushes
• Flat brush,
• Acrylic or multi-surface paint
• Optional: low tack spray adhesive and tape

First, I painted a base coat of white.

Then, I placed the brick stencil and got a tiny bit of paint on my brush and dabbed the brush over the stencil.

I repeated this step until the whole board was covered with the brick repeat pattern.

After that, I grabbed the stencils I wanted to put on top of the brick and did the same thing.

I tried a few different techniques and I found it the easiest if you did the stencil in white first and then in the color you want due to the background being dark.

I repeated this with the spray paint drips stencil as well.

Then I decided to add a few more stencils and a couple of finishing touches!

A Home for the Golden Chevron Octopus

This Was Such a Great Find! By luck, we came across an abandoned wooden octopus! We weren’t sure what to do with him since he was so large. Black paint with gold accents sounded perfect though.

Materials Needed:

This is very small and simple project. Here is the process.

Step 1: Washing The Octopus. We used a hard bristle brush and soap to wash the octopus. Some of the blue paint came off but no worries, we can cover this up later.

Step 2: Let it dry out, Use Black paint or black Gesso to cover up the octopus

Step 4: Using the Octopus Stencil and some tape, I placed it down in the head of the octopus. I went in with Gold acrylic paint and felt like it wasn’t enough. I wanted to give the golden octopus a little bit of depth so I started to mix the gold with Gel Matte Medium.

Step 5: Just go ahead and layer the paint and medium with the stencil. Allow it to try between each application.

Step 6: Now Add the Chevron pattern to most of the tentacles, leaving a lot of black space to balance the composition.


Step 7: Go back and clean any rough edges with a flat shader brush in the size extra small. And You’re Done!

Abstract Lotus Tabletop Makeover

Materials Needed:

Color Mixing

For this project, I used a pallet of muted spring colors. A mix of red and orange with a splash of green to dull it down for the lotuses with a mustard yellow made by mixing the deep yellow with what I used for the first layer of the lotuses. The blues I used for the Soft Chain Stencil were a mix of ultramarine and cobalt. The green I used for the leaves and in the radial pattern and Asian star pattern was a combination of deep yellow, cobalt blue, titanium white, and scarlet red. For the very muted purple, I added more cobalt blue and scarlet red to the green I had mixed. 

Process

I refinished my table first, but if you already have the surface you are happy with, you can skip this step. First, I lightly sanded and primed my table with a high quality water based furniture primer. I chose a pale blue latex paint for the table so my stencil patterns would stand out.

When dry, I used a yardstick to draw an X from corner to corner to ensure my pattern would be evenly distributed. I used two simple lines and based the placement of my stencils on that. No measuring or math was used in this project but if you are a stickler for symmetry, you may want to incorporate some of that.

I started painting with a burnt orange that I had mixed up and used a lightly loaded dry brush first and then did a second coat, using the stippling technique, building up two layers of paint. After painting in each coat, I used a blow dryer to keep the process moving along while avoiding smearing the paint already applied. Once all four lotuses were painted in, I painted in the second layer of the lotus stencil highlighting the flower with a mustard yellow, again using the dry brush, tapping technique.

For the Soft Chains Stencil on the corners, I used a teal in a dry first layer, then went back over with a deeper blue. Each time using very little paint and tapping with the brush to build layers and texture. Once that was dry, I added a free hand-painted leaf shape within each of the Soft Chain shapes in pale green. I felt it added balance to the design and fit in with the flower design.

Lastly, I used a very muted purple to paint in the center for the Asian Star stencil. My original pencil guidelines were still visible and I used that again as a guide to line up my stencils. After the light coat of purple, I went back in with the green I had used for the leaves on the corners and lightly peppered in some highlights. As a final touch, I used the same purple and green combo of colors to paint in the small radial design stencil in the corners.

This project was challenging and fun for me and it was really enjoyed the process as well as the finished product. I hope you do as well!
