Framed Art with Light-Up Eyes What you’ll need: Thrift store frame, foam board, chalkboard paint, chalk, twinkle lights, hammer, nail How to make it: Cut a foam board so it’s the same size as your frame, and then cover it with two coats of black chalkboard spray paint. Sketch trees (or any Halloween-inspired design) with chalk. Determine where you want to put your glowing eyes, and use a nail to pierce the board. Insert the tips of twinkle lights behind the canvas.
