Glittered Halloween Sign

After the paint dries, lay the blocks on top of an open magazine and coat the front part of each block in a thin layer of Mod Podge. Sprinkle a generous amount of black glitter on top of the block until it is coated. Tap the block on top of the magazine until all of the excess glitter has come off.

Hold the magazine, almost closed, using it as a funnel to put the excess glitter back in the container.

Repeat the same process with the orange glitter, on three of sides of each block. I didn’t do the bottom of each block.

Once the the blocks are dry, spray them with clear gloss, to seal the glitter. Without the spray, you will lose little flecks of glitter everywhere. After the blocks dry, add the vinyl. The vinyl for these blocks takes a lot of patience because of the bumpy surface. I had to pretty much hand apply each letter, but it was worth the effort. I think these blocks might be my new favorite Halloween decoration.

Even my brother, who hates glitter, had to admit this craft turned out pretty cute. I might convert him to the wonderful world of glitter yet.

Note: If you are having trouble getting the vinyl to stick to the glitter, take a toothpick and a small amount of glue and tack the vinyl down in a few places.
