     Halloween Tote

                                                           What you'll need:

                                                                       Cricut Access

                                                                        Little Bag of Tricks Image 

                                                                     Cricut Maker 3

                                                                 Cricut BrightPad Go

                                                          Black and Pink Everyday Iron-on

                                                                    Tote Bag Blank 

Open up the "Little Bag of Tricks" image in Cricut Design Space. Don't forget to turn "mirror" on, otherwise the design will appear backward on your base material. 

Attach the pink Everyday Iron-on onto your mat and load into your Cricut machine.  Follow the prompts to cut the material. 

Once the images have been cut, place them onto the Cricut BrightPad Go and start weeding away! I love that there are 5 brightness settings so I'm able to adjust which setting works best for me. 
 

Next, heat up your Cricut EasyPress and preheat your base material. I preheated my tote for about 5 seconds. Arrange the bats and "Little Bag of Tricks" image onto your tote. 

The EasyPress will be on the tote at 340 degrees for about 30 seconds. 

Once the timer on the EasyPress has gone off, wait for the pieces to cool off. Once they've cooled, slowly peel off the backing of the iron on. 

Tie a few strands of ribbon to your tote and your hauntingly cute bag is ready for spooky season! 

Let's make a creepy cute shirt now! How perfect is this t-shirt for pumpkin patch pictures? The pop of pink is the perfect twist on the traditional orange and black Halloween palette. 

Skull Halloween Shirt 

                                                               What you'll need: 

                                                                    Cricut Access

                                                                        Skull Sweater Image 

                                                               Cricut Maker 3

                                                              Cricut BrightPad Go 

                                                         Black and Pink Everyday Iron-on 

                                                              T-Shirt Blank Raglan

Select the skull sweater image in Cricut Access. I chose to use two rows of black and one row of pink iron-on. 

Load the iron-on onto a mat and follow the prompts to cut out your images. You don't need to worry about using the "mirror" on these images.  

Using your Cricut BrightPad Go, weed the skull images until all of the unwanted vinyl is gone. 

Next, arrange the skull images onto the shirt with a black line of skulls, then pink in the middle, and then finish off with another line of black skulls. 

Set the heat and time on the Cricut EasyPress to 340 degrees for 30 seconds. Allow the material to cool and then peel off the backing to reveal the images. 

Now you're all set for the pumpkin patch or witches tea! 

I hope you've enjoyed these spook-tacular Halloween projects using the new Cricut BrightPad Go. Thanks so much for stopping by!
