Halloween Colors

For this project, the following American Tradition paint colors were used:

Use their associated numbers to paint the projects.

When two numbers are given, combine the two colors to create a hue that matches your needs (ex: "1 & 3" would be a light orange � "2 & 3" would create gray).

Here's How It's Done

1. Click on any decoration to get a full-size pattern. If you want larger patterns, you can take them to any copy shop and have them enlarged.
   
   
2. Print the pattern.
   
   
3. Place a piece of carbon paper over the plywood. Lay the pattern over the carbon paper and trace all the lines. Be sure to press hard so the pattern transfers to the plywood.
   
   

   Good idea:� If you've had the patterns enlarged, you may need to place several sheets of carbon paper between the pltwood and the pattern.

   
   
4. Use a jigsaw to cut the plywood along the pattern's edge.
   
   
5. Smooth the edges with sandpaper.
   
   
6. Nail the pattern to a stake.
   
   
7. Paint your decoration using the detail lines and color recommendations from the pattern.
   
   
8. Allow the decoration to dry and then stake it in the yard.

Good idea:� Highlight your decorations with spotlights.
