Three Dollar Halloween Decor

October 01, 2013
It's October 1st today, and I just finished a Halloween project!

1977 Burwood Owl Plaques
My project started with the purchase of these 1977 Burwood owl plaques that I purchased thrifting for $3.  They are 3d molded or formed plastic, and this type of plaques and the owls too were popular back in the 1970's. I really liked the orange and black eyes. I thought they would give the owls a Halloween look.

I used masking tape to protect the orange and black eyes from spray paint.  

Spray painted vintage owl plaques
I applied two coats of Rustoleum black spray paint.

 I removed the tape and hung them outside my front door,

I think my three dollar owls look like Halloween owls for sure!

    Your Halloween owls look great, Carlene. The black paint really makes their eyes pop.
