The DIY Spooky Flag Banner

The DIY Spooky Flag Banner

Posted by DecoArt on Oct 10th 2013

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the cool crisp air, spooky decor, and most importantly dressing up!  When it comes to Halloween decor, I like to keep things kind of simple but fun.  Flag banners are big this year, so I knew I wanted to grace my mantle with one this Halloween!

Items Needed:

  • Six (6) Canvas Flags
  • Printed Letters

Instructions:

Start by printing out the word "spooky".  I used the font "Spooky Magic" in size 300, which I download for free from Fontspace.com
