INVITE GHOSTS AND VAMPIRES TO YOUR ROOM
 

Materials:

- serviette Ghosts & Vampires
- canvas 30 x 40 cms
- Mod Podge
- baking paper
- iron
- acrylic paint
              (white/grey/black)
- paintbrush and sponge
- glitter glue

Instructions:

- With a wide paintbrush evenly cover canvas with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let dry.
- Cut out the images from the serviette, peel off the bottom two layers of the serviette and position only the
   top layer of your images on the canvas.
- Cover canvas with baking paper.
- Iron on the images with a dry, medium set iron. The Mod Podge now melts the images onto the canvas.
- Now paint the background in the colour of your choice. We used a mixture of white. grey and black and sponged
  around  the images. (see note***). Let dry.
- To protect your work, apply another layer of Mod Podge. Be careful not to repeatedly brush over the
    serviette  images, as they may become soft and tear.
- If you want, you can now add glitter glue to highlight cobwebs, ghosts etc.
- We traced the moon face (brows, eyes and mouth) with a black outliner.

***Note: Serviettes loose their colour when you glue them onto a dark background.

Variation: Use a 30 x 30cm canvas and glue serviette on as a whole.

- With a wide paintbrush evenly cover canvas incl. sides with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let dry.
- Peel off the bottom two layers of the serviette and position the top layer on your canvas. The serviette will be
  slightly bigger than the canvas.
- Cover canvas with baking paper and iron the serviette on with a dry, medium set iron. The heat melts the Mod
  Podge and bonds the serviette with the canvas. Let dry.
- Stand the canvas on one side and iron on the overlapping bit of serviette on the opposite side. Repeat this for
  the other three sides. You may find that the sides are not completely covered by the serviette. Then either try to
  continue the image and paint the sides in the colour of the serviette, or use a complementing colour to make it
  look like a frame.
- Again, to protect your work, apply another layer of Mod Podge. Be careful not to repeatedly brush over the
    serviette  images, as they may become soft and tear.
