If you’re a fan of Halloween crafts and love adding a bit of Western flair, these adorable cowboy ghost embroidery hoops are the perfect project! 

I used my Cricut cutting machine, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and SVG files from Printable Cuttable Creatables (“Boo Y’all Cowboy Ghost” and “Howdy Boo Cowboy Ghost SVG File”) to bring these designs to life.

DIY Embroidery Hoop Craft Idea

Let me walk you through how I made these delightful embroidery hoops with a spooky twist.

Embroidery Hoop Halloween

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.

Ghost Cowboy Embroidery Hoop

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.

Boo y'all Embroidery Hoop

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.

DIY Coasters with Sublimation Markers

01 DIY Sublimation Coasters

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!

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.

Cowboy Ghost Sign Idea

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.

Cowboy Ghost Sign Idea

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.

DIY Space Party Idea

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!

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?

First Day of School Chalkboard

First Day of School Chalkboard 1

Good morning Printable Cuttable Creatable Fans!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility.  With school starting, I wanted to share my project of the First Day of School Chalk Board.  Here is how mine came out:

First Day of School Chalkboard 1

I used cardboard and painted it with chalkboard paint and then used the file to cut cardstock out all my pieces.  

This file is made to be used for Vinyl and I had all intentions of using vinyl but ended up not having enough of a couple colors and wouldn’t be here on time.  That is why I decided to try the cardstock.  I really love the way it came out!

Here is my grandson, Lachlan on his first day, Star sunglasses and all!   He loved his sign and loved giving me the answers to the questions!  

First Day of School Chalkboard

I hope you will try this for your kids or grandkids!
