How to Make a Goodwill Painting Spooky

Have you been seeing this idea of how to make a Goodwill Painting Spooky?

Of course I had to give it a try!  I ventured over to our local Goodwill and found this beautiful painting for just over $6.00.  I actually looked up the artist…you know, just in case I somehow hit the painting of the lifetime jackpot.  😉 You never know when something like this would instead turn into an Antique Roadshow kind of situation.  😉

Alas, it’s a print, but still very beautiful.

Being that this is a print I gave myself the go ahead to use it as I wished.  Now, I’ve seen a lot of people find artwork and then they paint on ghosts.  Even though it was a print I still couldn’t paint it, so I instead came up with the idea to use parchment paper as my little ghosts.  I figured they’d be transparent and how cool would that look, but unfortunately it just wasn’t coming together with this particular piece of art.  Then I had a lightbulb moment of using these bats that I have all over the house!  I stuck on one…and then another…and then another.  It was looking perfectly spooky!

This beautiful painting from Goodwill easily and quickly became a spooky scene in our living room.

What do you think?!  I’m super excited about this!  I’d loooove to hear if you decide to make one of these, too!
