Banners are one of my favorite things to make to feel festive. I prefer my Halloween decor to be on the cute side instead of the creepy side.

So I made cute skeletons and made my banner say Boo. And it’s pretty stinking cute if I do say so myself.

Cricut Halloween Banner

Supplies Needed:

Cricut (I used my Cricut Maker 3)
Cardstock in Black and White
Weeding Tools
LightGrip Mat
SVG (download at the bottom of this post)
Hole punch
Glue Stick
Baker’s Twine

Tips for Cutting Paper on a Cricut:

Glitter cardstock can also be used. For best results, only use glitter paper for the top layer.

Peel the mat away from the paper to avoid making the paper curl.
Use cardstock for structural pieces and paper for details.
If the paper does curl up, you can place it under something heavy to smooth it out.

Directions:

Upload the SVG file and duplicate the flag 4 times for 5 total.
Duplicate the skull once so that you have 2.
Turn the visibility off for each color. I made the banner flags black and the other details white.
Cut the design as normal using the LightGrip mat.
Carefully peel the mat away from the paper.
Weed the design as usual.
Use a paper punch to put holes at the top of each flag.
Center each design on the banner flags.
Glue the designs onto the flags.
Thread the banner flags with baker’s twine. (Thread it from the middle out.)
Hang and enjoy.
