Placing the spooky characters and letters:
- You can draw your own Halloween-themed character or find some spooky templates online on the craft foam and cut it by using scissors. Adjust the size of each character so it can fit the cover well.
- Stick the foam on the book cover, decorate it properly.
- Stick the letters on top of the character and the side of the book.
- Apply the hot glue on the edge of the craft foam to secure it.
Giving the rough texture:
- Using the foam brush, spread out the mod podge on the book surface roughly.
- Crumple a tissue, and put it on top of the book then spread the mod podge again. Let the tissue rip-off, so you can get theA�extra rough texture.
- Outline the edges of the foam and letter by using a toothpick. Let it dry completely.
Painting the cover:
- Paint the cover of the book with the black paint, make sure you cover the book with the paint thoroughly.
- Highlight the craft foam and the 3D letters by using the silver paint.
- Add some glitter to the book cover to give aA�bolder impression. Let it dry.
There you have your own DIY spell books ready to complement your Halloween decor. They will look good to place next to the bloody candles and drippy candles!
