It’s October, so that means that Halloween is right around the corner.
AKA the national holiday for crafters.
It’s the perfect occasion to bust out your vinyl cutter and create something incredible — whether it’s cards, costumes, spooky decorations or something downright mysterious.
In honor of every crafter’s favorite holiday, we’ve compiled all of our favorite Silhouette and Cricut Halloween projects from over the years.
Many of these we’ve tried successfully ourselves, and everything else is on our list to accomplish this year.
