Instructions

  • Draw a large circle (around 28 inches in diameter) on your cardboard. Then cut it out carefully with a craft knife.
  • Lightly outline a witch flying on a broomstick across the moon. You can reference vintage Halloween art or freehand your own.
  • Use yellow and a touch of brown for a glowing moon effect. You can blend the edges in circular motions for a natural look.
  • Paint the witch’s silhouette in black. Highlight small areas with brown or gray for subtle dimension, like folds in her cloak or hair strands.
  • Once dry, add highlights or small touches like a bat or broom bristles using fine brushes.
  • Spray a coat of clear sealer for protection. Attach the wire at the back for easy hanging on walls or doors.
