\"Address\"<\/p>\n

I’m rather taken with this<\/a> “dripping blood” address marker from Speedcult. It’s powder-coated metal and is available in several colors.<\/p>\n

I wonder, however, if it might be possible to DIY something a bit cheaper. Spooky fonts, either “dripping” or something more formally gothic, are widely available at places like Fontspace<\/a>. The appropriate numbers could be printed and used as stencils, and the marker cut out of wood<\/a> or acrylic<\/a>. If you don’t have woodworking tools, you could also make an address plaque<\/a> using a dremel tool. Paint as desired.<\/p>\n

The same technique could also be used to create “messages” as interior decoration. I think “redrum” would be particularly entertaining hung in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

p.s. – Be sure to check out some of the other stuff in Speedcult’s “gothic”<\/a> category, like this cute bat key holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n
