Custom Halloween Candy Bucket
We used an available clipart in the Cricut Design Space and adhered it to a bucket from Michael’s. For this we used regular vinyl.
Oogie Boogie Plaque
We used a custom-drawn Oogie Boogie art, uploaded it to the Cricut Design Space, and adhered it to a plaque from Michael’s. We used permanent vinyl on this.
Oogie Boogie Candle
We used a custom Oogie Boogie art file, uploaded it to the Cricut Design Space, and adhered it to a glass votive from Michael’s We then spray painted over the vinyl decal with Krylon Spay paint, and once the paint was dry, we removed the decal to leave the unpainted artwork to show through. We use removable vinyl for this project.
Poison Mason Jars and Caddy
We purchased a set of mason jars and a caddy from Michael’s. We spray-painted the mason jars with two colors of Krylon Spray paint from Michael’s (one of which is glow-in-the-dark). We then used a clip art from the Cricut Design Space to create a decal to adhere to the side of the caddy. We used permanent vinyl for this project.
Sanderson Sisters – Hocus Pocus Shirt
We created this fun tank using custom-drawn Sanderson Sisters/Hocus Pocus art uploaded into Cricut Design Space. We used Glitter Iron-On Vinyl.
Poison Bottle
For this we used a clipart from the Cricut Design Space and the window cling vinyl to create a decoration for a bottle we picked up at Michael’s.
