Boo! Eek! {tutorial}

This project was completely free... everything I needed I had around the house from previous projects.

A quick and easy project to spruce up your mantel for Halloween.

Supplies:
-2x4 (left over from a previous project)
-chalkboard spray paint
-chalk
-An awesome hubby who will cut your 2x4. (Or do it yourself, but mine thought I might lose a finger using a saw myself)

Cut a straight edge on both ends of your 2x4. Section off six blocks (or however many blocks you want). I wanted my blocks to all be different sizes to add some dimension to such a simple project. Once your blocks are cut, just spray paint them with your chalkboard paint. I did two coats on each side.

Originally I was going to use an old stencil to write the letters, but I decided I wanted to free hand them. Once your blocks are dry, write whatever your crafty mind chooses!
