Haunted House Decor from a House Shaped Picture Frame

Directions

1. Take apart the frame to remove the backing and the old photo insert so you can see the structure clearly.
2. Apply two layers of semi-gloss black latex paint to the entire frame, allowing each coat to dry before adding the next.
3. Dab purple metallic wax onto the dormer windows and decorative dots with your finger, then gently buff the surface with a paper towel to blend the color.
4. Press copper wax onto the porch spindles and door columns using just your fingertip for a subtle metallic accent.
5. Draw the outlines of the window shapes onto a sheet of white parchment paper.
6. Trace the full outline of the cardboard insert onto white card stock, then cut out the window shapes you traced earlier from the parchment paper.
7. Align your cut parchment paper windows with scanned images of vintage Halloween postcards to plan the layout.
8. Reassemble the insert by securing the vintage postcard images onto the card stock backing using double-sided tape.
9. Slide the finished insert back into the painted frame to reveal your completed haunted house decoration.
