Step-by-Step Instructions

Background

Use the Heavyweight Black Poster Board (22×28) as your main background. Dark colors make autumn leaves, pumpkins, and the moon stand out.

Decorative Border

Cut strips from the Primary Assorted 2 Cool Colors poster boards and glue them around the edges to frame the display.

The Tree

Cut a trunk and branches from brown paper (or color a board). If you want dimension, layer pieces of poster board for a 3D effect.

Owls

Use assorted poster boards to cut oval bodies, big round eyes, small beaks, and wings. Glue the owls to the tree branches.

Pumpkins

From the Fluorescent Neon Orange Poster Board, cut overlapping ovals. Add stems with green paper. Cluster them at the bottom of the board.

Autumn Leaves

Cut leaf shapes in red, yellow, and green from the assorted packs. Scatter them around to create the effect of falling leaves.

Halloween Details

Moon & Bat: Cut a large circle from white paper and place a black bat silhouette over it.
Ghost: Use white Scenic Letterhead for a ghost shape. Tie a ribbon around its “neck” and draw eyes with a marker.

Arrange & Glue

Lay out all shapes before gluing. Once satisfied, glue or tape the elements in place. For heavier or layered parts, use adhesive dots or foam tape.

Final Touches

Outline shapes with a black marker for extra definition.
Slightly curl leaves for a natural effect.
Add glitter or textured paper if you want sparkle.
