Are you a Stranger Things fan?! Or maybe you just need to receive messages from the Upside Down?
Go a little "Joyce Byer's" crazy this Halloween and recreate her big bulb Christmas Light Alphabet Wall; the Ouija board she used to communicate with her son Will who is trapped in an alternate reality, the Upside Down.
Follow the step-by-step instructions and use the free printables to create a Happy Halloween banner. Maybe you will be able to rescue your friends who go missing on Halloween…Ra-Ha-Ha-Ha!
First, unscrew the bulb covers from the Vintage Bulb String Lights and cover the smaller bulbs with painters tape.
Then spray paint the string light cord black. Once dry, flip them to paint the other side.
After approx 1 hour remove the painters tape and replace the bulb covers.
Next, print out the "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" letters using the free printable provided. Then cut out letters. If you have a Cricut turn the printable into a jpg. and load it for cutting.
Note: The font I used for this is "Something Strange" and I have provided an additional string of letters "FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN"

Next, print out the Christmas light template (which you can download HERE) and cut out one of the shapes.
Use the shape to trace the shape onto a shade of colored card stock you prefer.
Cut out the colored shapes and using Glue Dots® - XL attach then to the tops of the light bulb.
Safety Note: Do not leave lights on with paper next to the heat.
Next, attach the letters between the lights. Spacing them out to fit across the light strand evenly and in the center.
Then hang the string light cord on the command hooks at each side of the backdrop.
