- With THREE different text boxes create “B” “O” “O” and stack them vertically (like shown in photo 1)
- Make the letters lightly overlap each other
- select all three letters and click “unite”
- Add a tab at the bottom of the last “O” about an 1" wide and .22" high, make sure its slightly overlapping, click the BOO and the tab and click “unite”
- it should look like the Photo 2
- Click on your object. Copy and paste it.
- You should have two "BOO"
- Go in to shapes, under festival, click on some simple halloween graphics and place around the letters on ONE of the boos,
- For example: The B, I used Bats, O , I just used a simple circle but you could use a ghost, and the last O I used pumpkins and spread them around.
- Then I picked some other graphics i wanted to cut out and include on the design, this step is optional.
- Now we need to make a small square for our base. I always wait until after I cut my material to measure the the tab with my digital calipers and go back and the inner rectangle for my tab for the exact dimensions.
- So Cut you Boo first put them BOTH together and measure them
- Measure the length and width of your tab at the bottom with your digital calipers
- go into the file and resize the inner rectangle thats in the base for your measurements
- make sure its still set to cut
- cut TWO bases

- Paint your project
- I used spray paint and covered each letter and spray each one individually for a different color so when the top layer goes on the bottom color shows through.
- Glue the top layer (the ones with the cuts in it) on top of the bottom layer. Making sure all the sides are flush.
- Glue any other objects you cut out where you like them
