Repurposed Shutters Sign for Halloween
Repurposed Shutters Sign for Halloween
"Anyone who has read my blog knows that I love to repurpose things. This time, I repurposed a craft from last year, to greet my Trick or Treaters this year! It was so simple to do and I’m truly in love with how it turned out. It all started with some fun shutters I found online for FREE. I couldn’t resist putting them together to welcome guests to our home last Thanksgiving, and I love them even more now that they are usable for two holidays instead of one! Come see how I made them."

More Crafty Ideas For You
We love the idea of repurposing shutters for a Halloween sign! It's such a creative way to upcycle old materials into something festive and unique. If you enjoyed making the Repurposed Shutters Sign for Halloween, here are a few more craft project ideas you might want to try:
1. **Upcycled Pumpkin Planter:** Since you're already into repurposing materials, why not turn old containers or cans into adorable pumpkin planters for Halloween? Simply paint the containers orange, add a face with black paint or markers, and fill them with soil and a small plant like succulents or mums. These make great decorations for your home or porch.
2. **Spooky Mason Jar Lanterns:** Upcycle old mason jars into spooky lanterns for Halloween. Paint the jars black or orange, then add ghostly faces or silhouettes with white paint or markers. Place battery-operated tea lights inside for a ghoulish glow. Hang them around your home or yard for a creepy ambiance.
3. **Witch Hat Wreath:** For a fun twist on a traditional wreath, create a witch hat wreath for Halloween. Simply spray paint a large paper or foam witch hat in black, then embellish it with ribbon, bows, and faux flowers or spiders. Hang it on your front door for a whimsical and witchy welcome.
We hope you enjoy trying out these craft projects and that they inspire you to keep creating with repurposed materials for the season ahead! Happy crafting!

What a wonderfully vintage and shabby chic look for your front porch. Double points for them being double sided! You could make yourself another pair of shutters in a pine green or red and paint a Merry Christmas on one pair and something like "Let It Snow" on the other side. Heck, if you had the patience, you could paint one side of the shutters red and one side the evergreen or pine green! Thanks for these great ideas.
