3 Halloween Projects with Cricut

If you have been following me for a while, then you will know that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love dressing up in costume and decorating my whole house. Buying decor every year can get expensive, so I have to get creative and DIY some projects. Luckily, I have my Cricut Maker to help me craft up some spooky goodness!

Today I am sharing 3 easy projects using card stock, iron on vinyl, and regular vinyl to make decor for three areas of my house.

Halloween Scarecrow Box - Popcorn Box Challenge

This is my second year participating in the Popcorn Box Challenge hosted by Laura Kelly Designs and Sponsored by World Market. I had so much fun last year, making a Jack Skellington Luminary that I jumped at the chance to be a part of it again. I had a couple of ideas that I was considering, but once I received my package, I decided to make a Scarecrow Popcorn Box with Candy Corn Popcorn.

 Use a popcorn box as cute packaging for a fun fall treat or to gift to a friend or neighbor!

I love Halloween! If you have been following me for a while, you will know I love to dress up for Halloween and have won several costume contests over the years. Last year, my company decided to not have a costume contest for Halloween, like they had for years. It bummed me out, so I decided the night before to make an easy DIY geeky "non-costume-costume" using a T-Shirt.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love to dress up and participate in our church's Trunk or Treat. Last year I went with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme since it is one of my favorite movies.  I am going to show you how I transformed myself into Sally and DIY'ed my trunk into Halloween/Christmas town!

I usually DIY my costumes, like the Mad Hatter and Flo, but I had the Sally costume on hand from several years ago, so I figured it was time to re-use it.

Easy Halloween Spider Wreath

Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths! I am excited to be co-hosting again. If you missed my other posts is this series, you may want to hop over and pin my Spring Deco Mesh Wreath and Easy Summer Grapevine Wreath. This month I am sharing an Easy Halloween Spider Wreath!

How to Create a Spooky Halloween Mantel

I am partnering with Oriental Trading to bring you ideas for a Spooky Halloween mantel.

Last week, I shared the Rustic Fall Mantel in my upstairs living room. Since we recently finished remodeling the basement, I decided that I would use the fireplace mantel downstairs to create a spooky display for Halloween. I know Halloween is still over a month away, but I get so excited about decorating for this holiday!

Ya'll know I love Oriental Trading! I have been a customer of theirs for years and now I am one of their ambassadors, which means I get free product in order to share these fun projects with you. Oriental Trading is a one-stop-shop for Halloween; they have everything you need from costumes, party supplies, and spooky home decor.

3 DIY Decorated Pumpkin Ideas

I am partnering with Oriental Trading to bring you 3 DIY ideas for decorating a ceramic pumpkin for Halloween. I received product in exchange for this post, but all thoughts are 100% my own.

Fall is here, so it is time to pull out everything pumpkin for my decor! Since we finished our basement renovation, I now have two mantels to decorate! I decided to use fall decor on the upstairs one and Halloween decor on the one in the basement. I picked out a set of three ceramic pumpkins from Oriental Trading and came up with three different ideas for decorating them.

Pumpkin Inspiration

It is no secret that I love Pumpkins!

I am excited to be joining for the first time with some of my fellow Social Fabric bloggers to share some amazing pumpkin themed posts. Whether you like to cook with pumpkins, craft with them, or something in between, I have a post for you. Visit as many as you can for pumpkin inspiration and make sure you Pin your favorites for inspiration!

DIY Pumpkin Clock

I love to decorate for Fall and have been looking for inexpensive ways to add more pumpkins to my decor.  While at Haven conference, I received a round piece of wood and a clock kit (from Walnut Hollow) in the Deco Art session.  I had just been using it to stage blog photos, but one day I had an idea that I could cut it into a pumpkin shape and make it into a seasonal clock!

DIY Spooky Stepping Stones

I love to decorate for Halloween, despite the fact we generally do not get many trick-or-treaters.  As a member of Rust-Oleum's Creators Studio, I received a pack of Testors Spray Chalk for a project challenge.  Initially, I was kind of stumped what to do with it, other than draw on the driveway.  But then I came up with an idea to make designs on our flagstone pavers, using a stencil.

Jack Skellington Luminary - Halloween Popcorn Box Challenge

I was thrilled when my friend Melanie invited me to be a part of the Popcorn Box Challenge, hosted by Laura Kelly Designs and sponsored by World Market.  I love Halloween, so I was definitely excited to see what I could come up with!   I kicked around several ideas, but once I got my package and saw the striped paper and spider brad, I knew what I had to do!

No Carve Decorative Pumpkin Tutorial

I love decorating with pumpkins in the Fall; I use them everywhere!  If carving pumpkins is too messy for you, I  have an option for a no carve pumpkin. This can be customized for a fall theme or Halloween.  You can also use this on a real pumpkin, or a fake one, if you want it to last even longer! This pumpkin can be used for a table centerpiece, outdoor decor, or as part of a decorating party! The best thing is that this project only took about 15 minutes to make with my Cricut Explore Air!

Neutral Painted Pumpkins

Lately I have been inspired by all of the neutral fall decor looks I am seeing online and in magazines. I especially love the white and chalky teal pumpkins, so I decided I would put some of my Deco Art paint from Haven Conference to good use and update a few of my mini pumpkins.

DIY Halloween Costumes

Halloween is a little over a month away and I am starting to plan out my costume for this year. If you have read my "About Me" page, you will know I love dressing up for Halloween! Store bought costumes can be so expensive! Who wants to spend $60-100 on something you will wear once or twice?  The last few years, I have made my own (thanks to Pinterest!) using things that I already had around the house or could buy cheaply. I spent less than $25 making these costumes!
