2. Punch squares from patterned paper (14 of each pattern if using 3 patterns). Punch and assemble small owls.
3. Use Adhesive squares to adhere squares all around the chalkboard perimeter. I used Raisens to adhere the cream polka dot paper all around the sign for an added effect.
4. Use the foam adhesive to adhere tree to the chalkboard. Use Raisens to adhere the small owls onto the tree.
5. Use the foam adhesive and squares to adhere the moon to the corner of the chalkboard.
6. Use adhesive squares to adhere the pumpkins to the bottom corner of the sign; use foam adhesive to add the October 31st sticker.
