Need Halloween Decorations? There's a Template for that!

Kids and grownups love dressing up and the festivities of Halloween and fall festivals. Heritage Makers just released new art that includes many Halloween templates! Use photo block templates to make festive word blocks like "Boo!" Make a 12 x 12 page using Halloween photos from previous years and frame it for a great decoration! You can even make great little scripture cards to go into the trick or treaters bags along with the candy. The possibilities are endless! Make yours at http://www.aboutthepictures.us/!

Home Decor Idea: Photo Blocks

With www.AboutThePictures.Us, you can make great gifts and photo decor for your home. Here is a sample of photo blocks made with two 12 x 12 sheets. Don't worry, it's a template so it is easy... The Heritage Makers Way! When you sign up for a free account, e-mail me your account number and I will send you a similar template to make your own blocks as well as the full directions!



Brief Assembly Directions (e-mail me for full directions):
1. Purchase a 2x4 piece of wood at your local home improvement store. Ask the store clerk to cut it into two 3.5 x 5.5 pieces and three 3.5 x 3.5 pieces (2x4 lumber is actually 3.5 inches).
2. Sand the blocks and paint the edges with a dark color (cheap black spray paint works).
3 Prepare your photo sheets at www.AboutThePictures.Us using templates.
4 When your 12 x 12 pages arrive, cut them into the pieces needed for the blocks.
5.Use a black or brown Sharpie marker around the edges of the photo page pieces to cover the white edges.
6. Use spray adhesive to adhere the page pieces to the blocks.
7. Use Modge Podge to seal the blocks and protect them (2-3 coats recommended).
