Enter if you dare

Hello creative friends!

and the Halloween fun goes on :-)

I was on a flea market and found a orange bamboo place mat, 

the color had something of Halloween and an idea was born in my head.

Tip 

How you can make

 an easy eyecatcher for your Halloween project

 

place mat 

the upper edge can be easily cut with a fine saw 

and for the thin bamboo sticks a pair of scissors is sufficient

 after i have cut the right size, the two lower threads have to be knotted several times

... and now  you can give her a weathered old look

to let the paint peel off you can use sandpaper or a fine saw 

you can paint them, stamp them or even write on them 

'Shock your parents, read a book' :-)

Happy crafting!
