First, crumple the Free Welcome Sign into a ball and then unfold. This will create creases and crevices for the coffee to stain into.
Dip your Paintbrush into the cold coffee and apply it to the printable. Add as many coats as needed until you have achieved the darkness you would like on the paper; giving it the antique stained look and feel . Add a few pinchfuls of the instant coffee for a grainier, darker look. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
While the sign is in the oven drying, begin working on the wreath! Wrap the Large Styrofoam Wreathwith the Ivory Ribbon until fully covered. Adhere with a drop of Hot Glue.
You can get creative with this next part! Using the Hot Glue Gun, attach pieces from the Bag of Bones along with a few Skulls to create a creepy collection of skeletal remains!
Add in some Pirate Coins and Gold Coins for a fun detail.
When the printable is dry, add some Hot Glue to the back of it and attach to the center of the wreath on top of the Bones and Coins then add a Skull & Crossbones Invitation in a Bottle as the final piece of decor! All that’s left to do is hang the Skull & Crossbones Wreath on your front door to greet your swashbucklin’ pirate guests!
