Halloween Decor for the fireplace

I needed something for over the fireplace for the halloween party I was hosting.  I had pinned this idea of faces on the wall that I was totally going put mine on a wall. Then I realized that was going to take a ton of mask for my walls and I didn't have that much time. I came up with the idea to cover the large space over the fireplace with the mask and it worked out great!

I got a bunch of mask from Michael's and found the Martha Stewart- Multi-surface Glow- in- dark Acrylic craft paint. It was fast to paint the mask. I think I ended up with two coasts for each mask.

The big issue was how to put them on the wall without actually having them stay forever. :) I had a very large sheet of foam insulation that I cut to just fit in the space over the fireplace. I covered with cheap black table cover and used straight pins in the mask to keep them on the foam insulation. I used the velcro command strips to hang the black lights on the side of the fire place... Loved it!

It would have been so good of me to take a photo of all the mask but it looks like I didn't do that :(
