Hey!
So this is what I call the Macbeth Plaque.
It is the famous saying the witch says as she is stirring the cauldron.
I did this the same way as I did the Eyes of Newt label.
I typed it up and printed it out on white paper, the used a tea bag to stain the warm water. I let the paper stay in the water for an hour. I crinkled up the paper too before I put it in.
I layed it out to dry.
I got this plaque at the dollar store a few years ago. I almost threw it away last year but, I thought I might be able to use it for something, so I kept it. I’m so glad I did!
I painted it with some black paint.
I used mod podge to stick it to the board, did a thin cost under and on top of it. I love how it turned out…I think my favorite part is the places the tea absorbed into the crinkled part of the paper! I wanted it to look old and wrinkly…..
It turned out exactly how I hoped it would!
Here are some more great places to get ideas, and if you don’t want to make the label yourself, there are some labels you can print off!
