Last Minute Jack o Lanterns Two Ways With Your Cricut

Materials:

- Pumpkins (Real or Faux)

- Black Vinyl (I used Cricut Removable Vinyl)

- Black Chalk or Acrylic Paint (I used Waverly brand "Ink" from Walmart)

- Stencil or Paint Brush

So Halloween is next week you say? Well! Then it's the procrastinators perfect time for pumpkin carving! What? No time for that mess? No problem! Here are two super cute ways to pull together some pumpkin decor without the mess and in a fraction of the time.

First, I found these adorable faces on design space, but any jack o' lantern image will do. I used this image from the Pumpkin Carvings Cartridge:

Jack-O-Lantern Mad Face

Then I cut it out with my Cricut.

Now, I basically have a decal and a stencil. The design is simple enough that there is not much weeding or complicated shapes involved. I took the eyes and mouth and rearranged them on my pumpkin, making sure that I wiped down the surface with a rag first. I didn't want twins so I flipped them to create a slightly different face. This also worked out well because one of the pumpkins was much shorter than the other and I could scrunch the face however it fit.
