31 Days of Halloween 2013 - Day 12 BOO garland

A garland to hang from the fireplace mantel.









Metal letters have texture paste
Paint followed - 2 x orange base coats, 3 x different copper paints for highlights
The boogie skeletons were stamped within the traced letter outline on a tag.
Three holes were drilled into each letter for hanging and a bead detail.
The letters and assorted beads were strung on red wire in a symmetrical arrangement

Sorry about short post, the computer has been giving me issues and it took a number of hours to get the photos in here.
