My kids love Halloween. Me? Not so much. Since Halloween plans look a bit different this year and they will be spending the night at home, I thought I would go all out and decorate the living room for Halloween instead of Fall like I usually do. With the help of my HomeRight Quick Finish sprayer, I created a Halloween mantel sign to complete the look!
This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all opinions and project ideas are 100% my own. It also contains affiliate links.
I grew white pumpkins in the garden this year and my kids were excited to harvest them and use them in the decor.
Who doesn’t love the movie Hocus Pocus? A little nod to a Halloween classic :) I’ve only ever done one other Halloween mantel, which was also black and white, and I used a few of the same elements.
I added my sign in my TV frame but you could prop it up on the mantel as well. I cut some hard board to the size of the inside of the frame.
I used my HomeRight Quick Finish to paint it all white.
I used vinyl lettering that I cut out with a machine as a kind of reverse stencil but you could also use store bought stencils for this next step.
Wait for the basecoat of paint to completely dry before adding tape to vinyl so you don’t risk peeling it off when you remove the stencil. Apply it to the sign the way you want it. If you stencil is not big enough to cover all the area you want, use painters tape to finish covering what you don’t want painted.
I sprayed a layer of black over the stencil. They key is to do a thin coat. If you get the paint too thick, it will be harder to get the stencil off without pulling paint off with it.
As soon as the top coat of paint isn’t tacky anymore, remove the stencil. If there are areas that the top coat is too thick and you are having a hard time peeling off, use a box cutter or X-acto knife to score along the edge.
The kids are happy with it and are ready for our Halloween night at home :)

My next project is my outdoor furniture – it is crying for paint.
Next painting project will be the kitchen cabinets.
That sign is so dang cute!! I have been wanting to paint an old antique dresser (trust me it needs it or I would leave it wood). I’ve felt like it would be best done with a sprayer but we’ve been on a budget with COVID so this would be amazing! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would absolutely love to make a sign like the one you made. I have a daycare & I could definitely make all kinds of fun things. I have a bench that could use some paint. Thank you for sharing your ideas. And for giving the opportunity to win an exciting item🤓
The black and white looks great…now, I want to grow white pumpkins! My next paint project is my patio screen. Thanks for the giveaway!
That is adorable! I bet your kids love it! It makes me want to get out my Halloween decorations!

We are painting the outside of the house…
This is so cute! I would love to have a finish sprayer as my next project is painting my kitchen cabinets!
My favorite Halloween decorating. Excellent job Looks great!
, I updated yard art by spray painting it. The new paint changed the entire look of my garden.
I recently repainted a headboard painting over mauve (🥴) repainting it white. I will be painting 2 small chests in the coming few days.
I have a clock that is like a grandfather clock with shelves in it . Homebuilt that I have to paint and that would make it so much better.
I love the white pumpkins and your sign. So many things I can do with the Homeright sprayer.
My next paint project is either a dresser or the garage. Paint sprayer would be awesome!
I have a cabinet to paint. It’s from Pier One when they were selling Asian-themed furniture so it has bamboo slats on the sides. There’s no way I could paint that with a brush. Spraying sounds like a good idea.
I have a dresser and a set of shelves to paint. We just moved into a home and my kids are finding all kinds of things they want to change!
My list of things to paint is long! My interior doors can use a spruce up!
My laundry room needs a new coat of paint.
Gorgeous!! I love the skull and raven!
I have a long list of items to paint. But first up is my kitchen cabinets. Everything in my house is from the 80’s and I have been updating slowly. As a single mom of 4 it’s hard but very rewarding!
Using a sprayer would make refinishing my grandson’s dresser sooo much easier! Thanks for the opportunity!
Have a million (so it feels) painting projects waiting, but no motivation to get them done! Really need to paint and install my baseboard – I will not tell you how many moons that has been waiting!
Love that sign! I want one for my mantel.
I have a few dressers and end tables I would love to paint!

Your sign turned out so cute! I’d love a sprayer- the louvered door to our laundry room needs a fresh coat of paint and I dread doing it by hand
We plan to paint the bedroom doors to spruce them back up.
I don’t normally decorate for Halloween inside, but I like your mantel area. Using black and white makes it look classy. I would love to paint my nightstands and garage door with the sprayer.
Hocus Pocus…love it.
We will be painting moms two story farmhouse.
A big job.

OOOOOH! I have always wanted a paint sprayer, and now you have also provided an adorable way to use it. :D We are working on our own 1939 Bungalow which definitely needs some paint. ;) I also have a cutting machine and lots of vinyl though haven’t used it in reverse as a stencil. My mind is racing now. Thank you for your inspiration!!
I’ve been painting all the rooms in my house and I’ve moved on to nursery furniture! I still need to finish painting the changing table and a little side table.
