Vinyl Projects

I love using vinyl in my projects because it holds so well but can also be removed.  I love the intricate designs of sugar skulls for Halloween so I used my own images into the Cricut Design Software (here is the tutorial on how to do that).  I cut those two designs out of vinyl in various sizes- I hate wasting the material so I just fit as many as I could onto the 12×12 sheet.

Sugar Skull Halloween Decor

The largest size looks great on some solid white melamine plates.  Doesn’t it look great on the mercury glass chargers? Classy Halloween meals around this house!  Vinyl is perfect for a short celebration, easy to remove after, or keep for yearly decorations!

 Cupcake Toppers are so easy to make with black white and orange cardstock paper folded into accordion wheels and a 3D Bat attached to a toothpick.  For the sugar skull cupcake topper I used a piece of the vinyl cutouts I had, but another great option would be to use the pens in the Cricut (explore or maker). 

 

I didn’t get any awesome pictures, but you can see I experimented with using the negative of the designs for a different look.

    Very cute! My theme this year is sugar skulls, so I’m loving this post. I really love the glittered bat wings. Thanks for sharing.

    I am VERY new to Cricut and would like to get my first one soon. Still trying to figure out which one. I am having a sugar skull themed wedding. I noticed you said you created the design. Is there a way with Cricut to use any image and/or design ur own to use? I have a specific sugar skull design I’d like to use on decor and favors and such.
    Thanks!

      There is a way to use your own design. Its really simple. If you can scan it in, or take a picture of it, then you can use it. Using the Cricut Design Space program it walks you through it. Its my favorite part of the cricut. No more cartridges and custom images.

    Can you use the SVG file on a Cricut Mini?

      I am not sure, but I think the explore is the first model to use the design space application, and not need the cartridges.

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
