2. Use black glaze to paint light cobwebs for the background.
3. Print out tons of words in different sizes and fonts.
4. Rub chalk on the back of each word, tape it in place and trace it with a pen. (A trick I learned here.)
5. Hand paint every single one of those words with a tiny brush!
6. Glitter some of the words randomly using good old fashioned Elmer’s Glue and a paint brush.
7. Decorate some wooden spiders with some black paint and glitter and glue them on with 3D glue dots.
9. Hang it.
I was going to save all my Halloween projects for October but my miter saw is in the shop for a tune up so it’s all fun projects this week. It’s amazing how much I use that thing. I can’t do anything downstairs without it.

Sandra, this is awesome! I love that you DIDN’T use a silhouette, which is the typical “go-to” for making subway art. I don’t have a silhouette machine, so I always feel at a lose to make these types of projects. I had never heard of the chalk rub before, so I am definitely going to try out the technique. Beautiful – love all the colors and different fonts.
