Halloween block.

This was such a fun project to make! Something totally non paper related. This was also my first time etching glass.. yay me! I think it turned out pretty darn cute. I took a glass block and drilled a hole in it so my lights would fit. Living in Hawaii it is less expensive to buy the ones from the hardware store rather than the blocks from the craft store, they are twice the price. Pluse I like using the drill...





Materials used:
  • Glass block
  • 50 strand count of lights
  • etching cream
  • vinyl
  • October 31st cricut cartridge
  • pumpkin carving cricut cartridge
  • assorted ribbon
  • embellishments

Halloween home decore


This was a fun but time consuming project. Most of the paper came from a mixed color stack at my LSS and the green paper with glitter came from a K&Company halloween stack from last year. I went to Homw Depot and they were able to cut a piece of scrap wood to 12"x12" for me, I used this as my base for the main sign. I picked up a small wood board at Wal-Mart and used that for the beware sign. I modge podged everything to seal it and give it a little added strength. I then just used ribbon to connect the two pieces and hang it. Here is the cut info from the gypsy, I am only giving the height as the aspect ratio was on turned on.

Witch 1.61"
moon 3.12"
house 8"
pumpkin 1.47"
tree 4.53"
bats 0.76"
fence 1.71"

Most of the cuts came from Oct 31st except the fence, that was from Mini Monsters. The fence was copied and welded unti I reached my desired length 11.25". TFL
