Day 283 - A Ten Dollar Way To Create Bad Luck.

Oh hey there feline friends. It's Saturday and the weeks are flying by. We are getting closer and closer to that spooky holiday, Halloween. If you haven't noticed we are 100% Halloween crazy around here on this blog. To continue the nuttiness, today we are going to create a $10 DIY project that is going to bring a lot of back luck to anyone crossing our path. Since it's Saturday let's leap and get down to some spooky business.

We all know the superstition. Black cats are bad luck and what is more terrifying than a string of bad luck? Maybe stepping over so many black cats that otherworldly bad luck is sure to follow. Head down to IKEA and pick up a Trampa door mat. Grab some black craft paint, a medium size firm paint brush, 1 piece of cardstock and this free black cat template. Now, let's create some bad mojo spooky enough to scare away any unwanted visitors.

Step 1: With a craft blade cut out the black cat template on a self healing mat or piece of cardboard.

Step 2: Use the cat template to create a pattern on the doormat. The tip here is to quickly dab the paint on with the paint brush and make sure to touch even the very tip of the ears on the cat.

Step 3: Let dry and enjoy as visitors tremble in fear or at least step around the mat.

Off to brew up tomorrow's project. See you tomorrow, superstitious!
