Instruction

Step1: The Design

Preview

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
