For as long as I could remember, I’ve wanted a Cricut. I always told myself that I wasn’t “crafty” enough. That didn’t stop me from spending hours watching DIY projects featuring the machine. Imagine my excitement when I was giving the opportunity to work with the brand for the next few months to highlight the brand new Cricut Explore Air 2? For my first project, I’m making a super easy Halloween themed wall gallery for my toddler’s bedroom. Keep reading for the steps.

This project was extremely easy once we figured out how to use our brand new Cricut Explore Air 2. So easy, in fact, my toddler was able to help. She was fascinated with the way the machine cut the papers into fun Halloween shapes.

For our wall gallery, we decided to go with a colorful Halloween theme mainly because she’s not a big fan of spooky things but LOVES colors.

My toddler is patiently waiting for her “Boo” image!

 

For the frames, I use what I already had in my craft closet. Yes, I have a whole closet filled with craft supplies for when I feel inspired lol.

Most of the frames were purchased a few years ago at the dollar store. A couple of the frames were purchased at various thrift stores.

Steps

1. Set up your Cricut Explore Air 2 following the prompts on your computer.
2. Log into your Cricut Design Space account and type “Halloween” in the image tab.
3. Search and pick some fun but simple Halloween cut-outs. Since it was my first time using the machine, I selected images that didn’t require a lot of pieces. The “Boo” with the spider was my first choice. I also did a smiling pumpkin, a friendly-looking witch with her broomstick, and a “Trick or Treat” cut out. The pumpkin and the witch were both done using vinyl. The “Boo” and “Trick or Treat” were made using colorful cardstock.
4. Once you have the cutouts that you want to use for your gallery, glue them onto white cardstock, and frame them.

I’m so happy with how the Halloween themed gallery turned out. I set them up on the picture ledges where I keep her books.

PIN IT!
