4. Halloween T-Shirts


Show off your Halloween spirit with custom-designed t-shirts! Your Cricut machine can help you create fun graphics or spooky phrases.


Try making matching family shirts or even a T-shirt for your pet. For instance, shirts featuring phrases like “Boo-tiful” or “Trick or Treat Yo’ Self” can be great conversation starters during Halloween events.

10. Paper silhouette pumpkins

This is one of my all time favourite projects for halloween! Hollow out a pumpkin and add a large hole to the front to create a window for a diorama. Then cut Halloween images from black paper and add them to coktails sticks before popping them into the pumpkin.


Add a battery tea light behind to create a spooky silhouette!
