You don’t have to look extremely far to come up with spooky Halloween decor concepts. If you have old art work hidden in a corner of your attic, you can work up a spooky craft in no time. No covert art pieces lying around your home? Thrift some from your local antique shop to upcycle into a piece of weird Halloween decoration.
Our tutorial will reveal you how to paint the frame, add some ghoulish ghosts, and decorate your vintage framed art into something favorably fright-worthy.

Instructions
Paint the frame black
Take your black paint, and spray a dollop into a shallow bowl. Using your painter’s brush, paint the frame of your art work with a finish or more of black paint.
Paint some ghosts and other ghoulish touches
As soon as your frame has dried, using your white paint and small craft paint brush, paint your ghosts directly onto the canvas (or glass, if the art work lags a glass frame). Add as lots of or as few as you would like. Use your black paint to create some eyes on the ghosts and gaping holes for mouths.

Hang your artwork
As soon as dry, hang your art work where you would like. Leaning it versus a fireplace mantel will make your brand-new haunted art work the focal point of any space.
Set the scene with more creepy decoration
Go one action even more and stretch some cobwebs over the corner of the frame, and surround it with mini pumpkins, huge spiders, and black candlesticks to complete the appearance.
