I used my Gypsy, my Cricut and several different cartridges to create a fun cheater Halloween costume idea. I cut shapes out of different colored card stock and attached them to wooden BBQ skewer sticks with glue. They will sit in the vase for party goers to pick up, hold up to their faces and play a character. This is a great thing to have around at your Halloween party for those cheaters who think they are going to get out of wearing a costume. Ha – we’ve got that covered!
Here are where each of the cuts came from.
Mustache: Bump in the Night Cartridge
Glasses: Forever Young Cartridge
Kissing Lips: Love Struck Cartridge
Bow Tie: Paper Doll Dress-up Cartridge
Jack-O-Lantern Mouth: October 31st Cartridge
Vampire Teeth: Pumpkin Carving Cartridge

I love Halloween. I always have and I think it is because it doesn’t require stressful family time, it is all about dressing up and acting like a character. Orange is also my favorite color so that gives and edge to the holiday for me. I am going to start posting several new Halloween projects but I thought I’d take a minute to kick off the 2011 season by revisiting Halloween projects from last year. Click HERE to see some great ideas from 2010.

The other day I was at a grocery store and saw a display for Halloween Candy and thought “whoa it’s way too early for that!” I went home and thought more about it and the desire for Halloween, my favorite holiday, crept in. So I too surrendered, with the full knowledge that it’s still just August but why not start making goodies for Halloween? So with the new Cricut Hello Thursday Chic and Scary Cartridge I grabbed my Cricut vinyl in Raven Black, black T-Shirt yarn and an old beat up piece of barn wood and created a “BEWARE” sign. I love it and I love when I can make things that are both Chic and Scary!

I found a great Halloween tee-shirt at a thrift store and I turned it into a bag for trick-or-treating.
Here is how to make one:
1. Find a size large t-shirt at a thrift shop. Cut off the arms and neck but leave a small amount that will act as the handles.
2. Flip it inside out and sew along the bottom, closing it off the create the bag shape.
3. Turn it right side out and now it is time to decorate.
4. I cut a spider out of black broad cloth on the Cricut and ironed it on using Wonder Under Fusible Web. I attached yellow felt, green foam and googly eyes for the eye area.
5. I then attached black and white safety pins, a black shoelace for the spiders string, black and white ribbon and then used a rubber stamp “boo” along the bottom edge.
Make yourself a DIY trick-or-treat bag.
Party planning for Halloween night I had to touch the spooky to every surface. I made these martini glasses an instant Halloween hit by cutting spiders out of vinyl on the Cricut using Halloween cartridges and attaching them to the outside of the glasses. I also painted my fingernails black and cut a skeleton head out of white vinyl on the Cricut and made finger nail decals. I am all set for the party!
