Gather your guests on All Hallows Eve. As the full moon rises and the clock strikes 12, steady your nerves…it's time to bring out the Ouija Board! Ouija or talking boards were once a staple of the Victorian-era seance craze and were used for conjuring the spirits. This spooky DIY project inspired by the mystical Ouija board is perfect for serving cocktails or treats. Why not eat, drink and get spirited as the board spells out a Halloween message to you and your guests? Here's how to get started.
First, use white alphabet stickers to add the alphabet, numbers 0-9, and the words yes, no and goodbye to a Large Slate Tray. Place the yes and no in the left and right corners. Place the alphabet one third down from the top of the tray in two slightly curved rows. Stick the numbers under the alphabet in one straight line. Finally, place "Goodbye" at the bottom of the tray.
Next, cut the skulls out of two Mini Vintage Halloween Canvas Drawstring Treat Bags.
Place the skulls and Gold Glitter onto the board. Adhere and apply with a layer of Mod Podge® Matte Acrylic Sealer.
Remove the moons from the Phases Of The Moon Garland and the stars from the Gold Glitter Star Garland. Glue the star next to the "Yes" and the moon next to the "No". Let the board dry.
Download the free planchette printable HERE. The planchette is the piece on the ouija board that points out each letter or number. Cut out the planchette and punch a hole in the circle at the bottom point of the planchette. Next, glue the planchette to black foam board.
Next, use a cutting blade to cut out the planchette. Place it on the tray that's at the ready to serve cocktails or treats. For more magical Halloween ideas be sure to check out my Mystical Misfortune Halloween Dinner Party.
