I made this Dark Raven wood box using a paper cigar box.

It is actually a "redo" of a box that got water damage on the bottom. I painted over the edges of the original design using Martha Stewart Vintage Gold Metallic Paint (346 433 / M18121), using one coat of paint. But I left the bottom as is.

(Note: I intentionally left the cigar labels on the box, and fully or partially decoupaged over them.)

The steps are similar to the ones here.

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through

And all these angels and demons
Keep shouting and screaming
So love me like a rock star, dancing on a cop car
No one in the world can help me now
Nothing in the world can stop me now
I don't feel the same
I'm falling
Tell my friends I'm sorry

"Rustic" - Spirit Talking Board

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

I used Vistaprint to print my "Rustic" Ouija Board design. The poster arrived a few days early, so I was able to complete the board this weekend, in time for Halloween. I had to use an oversized poster (16" x 20") and cut it down to fit to 12" x 16". I also needed to cut off the 1/4" margin that I had allowed.

I used an Elmer's Washable School Glue Stick to adhere the poster to the hardboard. I mistakenly didn't coat the full back of the poster, so there were some air pockets, but not enough to interfere with the poster laying flat and working correctly as a "Spirit Talking Board" (Ouija Board).

I used the following for the board:

Pro Art Hardboard Panel, 12"-by-16", 12x16

The total cost was on the expensive side, so if I want to "mass" produce boards, I'll need to find a way to get my costs down.

Also, I need to produce an accompanying planchette. I have a design for one, but it needs to be cut out of the wood I applied it to. But I need a more practical production method for that, too.

This is a "Vines" Ouija Board design that I'm thinking of having printed as a poster, to decoupage onto a 16" wide x 12" high wood board or hardboard (panel).

Note: Mine will be a Spirit Talking Board because Ouija is a registered trademark.

I'm posting this to establish my copyright prior to submitting my design to an online poster printing company.


I will use one of the following for the board:

Walnut Hollow Basswood Plaque, Rectangle, 16 x 12 x 3/4 inches
