How to Age the Witch’s Spell Printable
Once you get the printable in your email, print on regular copy paper then follow the directions below for aging the paper.
Supplies needed
- Witch’s spell printed on regular copy paper
- Lighter
- Mod Podge Antique
- Pouncer brush
Instructions
Step 1 – Crumple
Crumple up the paper and then smooth it back out.
Step 2 – Add Mod Podge
Use a pouncer sponge brush and add two heavy coats of Mod Podge Antique over the surface (allowing to dry between coats).
Step 3 – Burn edges
For those burnt edges, I took the paper outside and in a safe area I burnt the edges until I was happy with my creation. The kids are absolutely fascinated at how old this paper looks and I made it in just a few hours (with dry time).
Making Witch’s Spell Halloween Decor
I wanted a few bottles of ingredients for my spell. I found these labels on the Graphics Fairy. Guess what? Two of these are EXACTLY what is mentioned in the portion of Macbeth that I printed above.
Using Print the Cut for the Labels
You can either use scissors to cut out the labels, or put your Cricut to work making them.
Step 1 – Upload file
Upload the png from Graphics Fairy (linked above) and use the tools in Cricut Design Space to remove the background.
Step 2 – Slice labels
Once you have the file uploaded, use the slice feature to remove any images that you don’t want to print.
Step 3 – Resize
Once you have only the images you want on the screen, resize them for the blanks you plan to use them with.
Step 4 – Print and cut
When you have everything the way you want it size, click Make to send it to your printer and then cut it with your Cricut.
Then get out some jars and get ready to use up some of those supplies you have on hand. I used paint, Mod Podge, and some cheesecloth.
I started playing with the jars. For the “Owlet’s Wing”, I coated the inside of the jar with Mod Podge Antique and allowed to dry. The glass took on a gorgeous opaque color that I adore!
I then filled the jar with white feathers and put a lid and cheesecloth on it. You can just make out the contents but it is not as obvious as if the jar were clear.
Next was my Eye of Newt. I took a bottle of green glaze I had in my stash and painted the inside of that jar then allowed to dry.
I put white styrofoam balls in it before capping with a lid and cheesecloth. The kids wanted to know if they really were eyeballs. Mission accomplished! Again you can see through the jar but the green makes it more difficult.
Next up is my cauldron. I actually bought it at a yard sale last year. It is old and beat up and perfect! I added the Witch’s Brew label and some cheesecloth to the inside.
We also had the skull to add to the spooky. I love my little Macbeth vignette and so do the kids! Halloween can be scary and fun especially with my free printable spell book pages.
You can add these to your Halloween decor quickly and with things you may already have around the house. I did not buy anything for this one and I think it looks amazing. Plus with free printable spell book pages, it is cheaper than ever to add something amazing and scary to your Halloween decor this year.
