September 20, 2022 by Paula W

Aren’t these Halloween lanterns fun? They’re such a great decoration for Halloween – perfect on your table, mantel, or front porch. They’re much easier to make than you might think and the frosted glass panes take this project to the next level.

Font Used:

Dancing Spiders

Supply Links:

Step-by-step Instructions:

Download the dancing spider font on your computer. Make sure to unzip the file and install the font.
Measure the glass pane you’ll be using for the project because this dimension is what you will be using in Design Space to visualize how much space you have to work with. Pull in a square from Basic Shapes to create a rectangle the size of the pane of glass. Duplicate so that you have 3 panes in total.
In Design Space, set the font to Dancing Spider and grab a text box. Type in BOOL. (We’re using the L so we can grab one of the spiders).
Choose one of the letters for visualization purposes. Size according to the size of one of the panes of glass. Then, select your entire text and choose Ungroup.
Grab a square and put it on top of the letter L. Next, select both of the L and the square and press Weld. Now that they are welded, you can contour. Choose Contour and then contour out the parts you don’t need. In this tutorial, we only need the spider with the web so leave those and contour out the rest.
Size and position the spider on the second O so that it is hanging down from the web. Select both the O and the spider and choose Weld.
Click Make It. Be sure your material is set to Premium Vinyl. If your blade is new and sharp, you can leave the pressure into default or you can select more if it isn’t.
Now load your vinyl into the machine and cut. Once you have cut and weeded the vinyl, you can apply transfer tape to it.
Now you want to make a bow. Grab some ribbon and a pipe cleaner to make as many bows as you’d like to use.
Be sure to clean the glass of the lantern with alcohol. This will allow for a better application of the vinyl so it sticks well.
Using the Folk Art Frost and a foam pouncer, frost the glass panes of the lantern. Be sure to put down masking tape around the edges of the lantern to protect it from frost. Let it dry for a few seconds and remove the masking tape.
Next, apply your vinyl designs to the lantern. Burnish. Remove the transfer tape. Once you’ve applied all of the vinyl, you can add your bow(s).

Jack O Lantern Treat Box

If you want a new fun take on treat boxes for any occasion, look no further. We created three adorable Halloween treat boxes with windows on the sides so you can peek at your treats. This is a super easy paper project to make with your Cricut.

3D Box With Folding Lid
Patrick

Supply Links:

Step-by-step Instructions:

Upload all of your files into Design Space and download the font onto your computer.
Refer to the video for detailed instructions on how to manipulate the files and fonts to create this project in Design Space.
Once everything is finished click “make it” and allow your Cricut to score and cut everything out.
Weed your vinyl and apply transfer tape to the designs.
Remove it all from your mat and use scissors to cut it into separate pieces.
Place the vinyl on the front and top panels of your box where you want them to go. Note: if you’re not sure which are the front and top panels, refer to the video.
Crease all of the score lines on the box.
Measure the side panels of your box where the circles are sliced from.
Using a paper trimmer cut your craft plastic to fit on that panel.
Apply ATG around the circle on the side panels of your box. Add your cut pieces of plastic.
Apply ATG to the little flap on the right side of the box then fold and attach it to the opposite side.
Close the bottom of the box sides first, then the top, then the bottom flap.
Add treats, close the lid, and enjoy!

Cut Files Used:

Strawberry
Strawberry Hat

Supply Links:

Step-by-step Instructions:

Import cut files
Ungroup the strawberry seed cut file and delete the outline layer
Size and duplicate the remaining whole seed layer enough times to fill your onesie/shirt nicely. (Our seeds on our onesie were 1/2″ and duplicate for a total of 3 layers)
Click make it and cut each mat with the correct material setting and blade. (Benzie felt is cut with a rotary blade and on the wool felt material setting on the fabric Grip mat. HTV is cut shiny side down on the standard Grip mat with a fine point blade. Make sure to mirror your image you are cutting from the HTV)
When cuts are complete, weed HTV
Use a true control knife to cut around each seed making it possible to place each individual seed on your onesie/shirt
After seeds are placed, heat mini easy press to second temperature setting and place easy press mat undergarment. Apply heat to the HTV so that transfer can occur.
Allow HTV to cool and remove the HTV carrier sheet
Working on the felt headpiece, use hot glue to glue the long side and one short side of the rectangular stem piece.
Use a wire cutter to cut florist wire to twice the length of the stem.
Fold the wire in half and twist.
Place twisted wire in glued stem and then fill the stem with poly fiber fill until nice and fluffy.
Pinch/fold the bottom of the stem in a cross-like shape and hot glue to the center of the felt circle
Place a small amount of glue at the base of each felt leaf and pinch until the glue is dried to create a puckered/3d effect with leaves.
Arrange leaves on the felt circle around the base of the stem. Hot glue leaves to the base.
Once dry, bend the wire in the stem to create a cute curved stem.
Attach the finished strawberry top to an elastic, a headband, or a hair clip.

Finally, we used hot glue to place the burlap on top of the patterned vinyl to complete our sign. We just love the way this turned out!
