Halloween Curtain

Materials:
*Old curtains
*Felt in Halloween colors
*Halloween templates
*Chalk
*Scissors
*Glitter glue
*All purpose adhesive suitable for use with fabric

Directions:
*Print out or draw templates of different Halloween images that you would like to feature on your curtain.  I found my templates at http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/projects/halloween-templates-1009?click=main_sr (bat stencil), http://www.matthewmeadstyle.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=254&Itemid=146 (black cat stencil), and http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/halloween_templates_pumpkins.htm (pumpkin stencil).
*Using chalk, trace templates onto felt squares of the appropriate colors.  The amount of felt you will need may vary depending on the shapes and sizes of your templates and on the amount of items you want to feature.  I used two 9x12 sheets of black felt and one of orange felt
*Once you have finished outlining your shapes, cut them out. 
*Decorate with glitter glue, then let dry.
*Once the glitter glue has dried, arrange your Halloween cutouts in a manner you find pleasing, then glue down with all purpose adhesive.
