3. Using a glue stick add glue to where ever you would like the glitter to stick to. Sprinkle glitter onto the plaque.
4. Tip the plaque over and let excess glitter fall off.
5. Dovetail the ends of small strips of purple satin ribbon. Tie the ribbon onto the wooden plaque.
6. Using tacky glue or hot glue attach small plastic spiders or other spooky embellishments.
7. To make the bow for the Halloween Wall Décor cut a piece of Bowdabra Bow Wire 18” long and fold it in half. Place the wire into the Mini Bowdabra.
8. Dovetail the end of purple satin ribbon and place the ribbon into the Mini Bowdabra creating a 6” ribbon tail.
