Halloween frames on closet door


Here is a Halloween decoration that only cost me a can of spray paint.  I had a whole bunch of frames from my grandma that I spray painted black.  Then I took a closet door that was broken and going to the trash and nailed the frames on and traced an outline for where they would hang.  I had my kids help to paint the orange stripes.  I think the imperfection in the line and color give it character.  After the paint dried on the striped closet door I put the picture frames back up.  The last step was to add halloween decals that I had in our halloween box purchased last year for 90% off at Shopko.  The kids also helped with this part too hence the frame with the raven-bat-crown which is their favorite frame.

Another cool thing about this project is that I just have the door up against the wall in the corner so I get the colorful orange impact without having to actually paint the walls.  When Haloween is over I will take the door to the dump which was where it was going anyway.
