what you'll need: wooden letters, black paint, and a black glitter. I used Martha Stewart's Black Glitter paint but I think regular glitter would work if you wanted full coverage.
cost: less than $10
difficulty level: easy
step one: paint your letters with your base color. If you are using loose glitter you should sprinkle it immediately. If not, let paint dry completely or you'll just cover your glitter with more wet paint.
step two: paint with glitter paint. At first I was disappointed with the Martha Stewart glitter because I expected more coverage. They had samples of it at the store and it was like an awesome glitter explosion. The actual result is more like glitter puff paint. It took about 4-5 coats to get the look I wanted and you have to let it dry in between coats.
**you don't have to paint the backs of the letters if they are leaning against something, but if they are a little away from the wall like mine-just paint it. It takes 2 seconds.
OoOoH-Spooky!
