If you want to add a personal touch to your glassware, your cutting machine can be your best friend! From festive candle holders to unique etched bottles, the possibilities are endless. Today, I’m sharing three fun and creative ways to decorate glass using my cutting machine (Cricut), featuring some fabulous SVG files from our shop and tips to inspire your next project.SVG files used: Too Cute to Spook SVG File, Cute Ghost Pumpkin Grid SVG Free and Spooky Potion Bottles SVG Files
1. Layered Vinyl Sticker for a Candle
Project Idea: Decorate a candle using a layered vinyl sticker (I used the Too Cute to Spook SVG file, minus the sentiment).
Choose Your Vinyl: For this project, I used regular adhesive vinyl for its ease of application, but imagine the fun with temperature color-changing vinyl! When the candle is lit, the color shift will create a mesmerizing effect, perfect for Halloween or cozy nights.
Design Your Sticker: Upload the SVG to your Cricut Design Space and size it to fit your candle. You can layer multiple colors to create depth and dimension.
Cut and Apply: Cut your vinyl, weed out the excess, and use transfer tape to apply it to your candle. Smooth it out, and voila! You have a festive centerpiece.
Inspiration:
Consider using holographic or metallic vinyl for an eye-catching design that shimmers when the candle is lit. Try layering different textures and finishes to elevate your project for added flair!
2. Repeating a Pattern for a Pretty Bottle
Project Idea: Create a beautiful, patterned bottle using the Cute Ghost Pumpkin Grid SVG (available for free!).
Step 2
Select Your Glass: This project works wonderfully with a clear glass bottle or jar. It can be a simple vase or a storage container.
Create the Pattern: Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space and adjust your bottle size. You can duplicate the pattern to create a seamless design that wraps around the entire piece.
Cut and Apply: Use your Cricut to cut the design from adhesive vinyl. Once cut, weed out the excess and carefully apply it to your bottle, ensuring it adheres well to any curves.
Inspiration:
Play with different colors for the pumpkins and ghosts to match your home decor or the season. You could even use frosted vinyl for a soft, elegant look that adds a touch of sophistication to your design!
3. Etching Glass for a Stunning Effect
Project Idea: Create an etched design on glass using the skull from the Spooky Potion Bottles SVG files
Steps:
Prepare Your Glass: Start with a clean glass surface. This could be a jar, a bottle, or a picture frame. Be sure it’s not heat-resistant glass (the etching paste doesn’t work on that material)!
Design the Etching: It’s important to use a design with only one layer for this project. I removed the other shapes and sized them for the glass piece.
Cut and Transfer: Cut your design using stencil vinyl. Apply the stencil to your glass, ensuring it adheres well to prevent etching cream from seeping underneath.
Etch the Glass: Apply etching cream following the product instructions. Rinse off the cream and remove the stencil to reveal your stunning design.
Inspiration:
Consider creating a collection of etched glassware featuring different designs for a truly spooky vibe. Use a variety of shapes and sizes to create a cohesive set for your Halloween party!
With these three techniques, ordinary glass can be transformed into extraordinary art pieces. Whether crafting for a seasonal celebration or just sprucing up your home decor, a cutting machine opens up a world of creativity. Don’t forget to experiment with various materials and finishes to find the perfect look for your projects!
Happy crafting, and may your glassware shine as brightly as your creativity! 🎃✨

Let me walk you through how I made these delightful embroidery hoops with a spooky twist.
Step 1: Select, Upload, and Cut Your SVGs First, I downloaded the cute ghost-themed SVGs from Printable Cuttable Creatables. These designs perfectly match the Halloween spirit, and the Western elements like the cowboy hat and bandana add a fun, unique touch. I uploaded the SVGs into Cricut Design Space and resized them to fit the dimensions of my fabric within the embroidery hoops. You want to ensure the design is appropriately scaled down to leave enough space for any decorations you plan to add. Once your design is ready in Cricut Design Space, mirror your image (since you’re working with HTV), then load your HTV into the Cricut machine. After cutting, weed out the excess vinyl using your weeding tool to reveal the finished design.
Step 2: Press the Design onto Fabric Now that your vinyl is cut and weeded, it’s time to apply it to the fabric. I used a soft, neutral polka-dotted fabric to give a fun background while letting the design shine. Using my heat press (an iron works too), I applied the HTV to the fabric.
Tip: Follow the HTV manufacturer’s pressing instructions, ensuring the temperature and time settings are correct. Apply pressure evenly across the design so it adheres well to the fabric.
Step 3: Assemble the Embroidery Hoop Once the HTV design is securely placed, position the fabric inside your embroidery hoop. Stretch the fabric tightly and secure it by tightening the screw on the hoop. Trim away any excess fabric around the edges with scissors. If you like, you can glue the fabric to the back of the hoop with a heat gun.
Step 4: Add Decorative Elements To enhance the seasonal feel, I used some faux fall florals, berries, and feathers as embellishments on the top of each hoop. I attached them using a hot glue gun, carefully placing the elements at the top to complement the design without overpowering it.
These Halloween-themed embroidery hoops were so much fun to make! Using the Cricut and HTV made the process easy, and the Printable Cuttable Creatables SVG added the perfect touch of charm. Whether you’re a Cricut newbie or a seasoned crafter, this project is a great way to get into the spooky spirit while adding some Western flair to your decor.
Feel free to share your own hoop designs, or let me know if you have any questions about the process! I’d love to see how your spooky creations turn out.
Happy crafting, and have a “spook-tacular” Halloween!

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. Did you know you can sublimate with your SVG’s? You can! Even without a sublimation printer, you can print these fun Nutcracker images on plain copy paper. Then I use a light box so I can see the printed lines while I color in the image using Artesprix Sublimation Markers. These special markers allow you to draw or color onto regular copy paper. When you apply heat and pressure to the design onto a sublimation blank, like this coaster, you can permanently transform the coaster. This design won’t fade, wash away, or wear out. It is the perfect gift for holiday keepsakes!

Looking to add a bit of charming, rustic flair to your home this Halloween season? Look no further than the Cowboy Ghost Sign, an adorable DIY decor project that brings a fun twist to traditional ghost decorations. With its whimsical cowboy hat and friendly message, this ghostly figure is sure to lasso in compliments from all who see it. Let’s get started on making your home both spooky and sweet with this delightful creation!
Chalk Paint in Denim Blue, White, Gray, Orange, and Yellow
Rustic Craft Pallet
Wood Glue
Once it’s all done you can hang it up or display it on a mantle to create adorable Halloween decor! Have fun crafting and creating!
Size the ghost and the text so it will fit your pallet. I used the “assembled” ghost svg and set all the lines to cut. I used two 12 by 12 inch sheets of basswood and cut the ghost from one sheet and the text from the other. Cut them using the settings on your machine.
I usually paint my wood before I cut it, but since I cut everything at once so that the pieces could “nest” inside each other I painted after cutting. I like to separate the pieces by the color I want to use on them and then paint them one color at a time. Let the paint dry completely and apply a second application if necessary.
Glue the pieces together, using small dots of glue. Then assemble the ghost and the text on the background pallet. Use wood glue to adhere them, and place something heavy (I use books) on top while it dries.

Hello everyone, I, Ellen, bring you another lot of fun inspiration for a space birthday party.
I used a lot of fun new SVG files, such as the Spaceship Rocket, Sun, Earth, and Moon, Planets, Alien, Comet, and the free Stay Weird Alien SVG.
All the items I’m showing today are made with vinyl (you stick the artwork layer by layer on the objects). Of course, you can also make stickers from the illustrations and use them to decorate everything. If it is a big party, this last method can save a lot of work!
But of course, it’s not a party without a cake topper!
But of course, it’s not a party without a cake topper!
I decorated a badge instead of a crown. The button actually had a smiley, but of course, I could hide the smiley with the globe.
Here, you can see everything together again. I love the end results—they look like magic. How are you planning to add a little magic to your next birthday party?
