The post Decorating for fall: 25 Free fall printables appeared first on Pins and Procrastination.

Last weekend, I was getting ready to go to a Halloween party when I realized I had nothing to wear! I don’t have any cute halloween clothes- how is that possible? I love themed and festive things. So at the last minute I wanted to make something fun and I came up with this adorable shirt! In total the project took me less than 30 minutes and then I was off to the party, appropriately festive. And the shirt was a hit!

I did this project using my Cricut Explore Air, which is quickly becoming my favorite craft tool. I used it to make my adorable studio sign for my office that I absolutely love. And now this shirt is so amazingly easy to make with such great results. What’s not to love?

I was a bit nervous to try using iron-on vinyl, but it went really well. For my first time using iron-on vinyl I think I did a pretty good job! I used this tutorial from Rae Gun Ramblings to figure out what to do.

Alright- who’s ready to craft? I’ll walk you step by step how to make this shirt, and you can even download the design I used for free to make your own boo shirt!

tools and supplies:

• Cricut Explore Air
• Iron on Vinyl (You can also get awesome vinyl here)
• T-shirt
• Iron
• Cricut tools (optional)

step one: download file

Click the image to download the file!

This step is pretty self explanatory! Just click the image above to download the file you need to make this shirt. My favorite part is the little ghost.

The image is backwards- but don’t worry, that’s on purpose. When you cut iron-on vinyl you cut it backwards because the underside ends up becoming the front of the design.

step two: import image to cricut design studio

Launch your cricut design studio and start a new project. You’ll want to upload the image, and you can do this by clicking the upload image tab on the left. Them press the “upload image” button.

The upload will ask you what type of image it is, and you should select simple image. Next you will click through the select and erase and press next. Because the file is in .png format, the image is already transparent and you wont need to remove the background.

The images below show you what this process looks like:

step three: insert image to cricut design studio

Now that you’ve uploaded your image, you’ll want to insert it into your design studio so you can make the cut!

Click on the image you uploaded, and click insert images. You’ll want to resize the image to your desired size. I made mine 11″ by 7.48″, because I wanted a large design. You can size it to fit your shirt.

Step four: prepare your mat

Now that your design is ready, you’ll want to prepare your mat. You’ll want to place your vinyl front side down. The back side will look much duller and you should be able to tell the difference, as you can see in the photo below.

Make sure you have enough vinyl for the size you selected in the previous step.

Once your mat is prepared, you can load it into the Cricut machine. Make sure to set your dial to “iron on vinyl.”

step five: cut and peel

Now you’re ready to cut! If you press the green circle that says “go” in Cricut design studio, it will show you a preview of your design. Approve the preview and then press the flashing “go” on the machine once you are ready to cut.

When the cut is finished, you can peel away the excess vinyl to leave your design behind.

step six: weed

When you peeled away the vinyl, the smaller pieces on the inside of letters and the ghost eyes did not come up. It’s time to “weed” those out. You can use the cricut weeder to do this- or possibly a toothpick. Just push along the edge and the vinyl should pop up.

step seven: iron on

Once you’ve got the design how you want it, you’re ready to iron it on! You will leave the plastic on the front of the vinyl to iron over.

Place your design right side up on the shirt where you want it to be located. You’ll want to use a setting for cotton on your iron without water.

I put some cardboard between the top and the bottom to keep the shirt stiff and easy to iron. Then iron away for several minutes until you are confident the vinyl has attached to the shirt. And now you’re done! Just peel away the plastic and you’re ready to go!

Woohoo- you’re done!

I love this shirt because it’s cute and festive. I can’t get over how cute the ghost exclamation point is. I’m so glad I added it- it’s the small details that really make a big difference in the final design.

And who doesn’t love a little sparkle?

I honestly can’t believe how easy it was to make this shirt. I feel like I should customize all the shirts I own now… but I won’t go that crazy.

But at least now I know I can make something pretty quickly at the last minute!

And the important part is, Biscuit approves. He even got his hair all over it. Why do I ever wear black clothes?

But who could say no to that adorable face?

All in all, one of my favorite cricut projects to date. I feel like I’m getting the hang of it now so you can expect more fun cricut tutorials from me! I might even have a little holiday idea up my sleeve… I can’t wait to share it.

But for now, I’m loving my boo shirt!

What do you think? Are you ready to make your shirt?

I’m not the only one who is a complete procrastinator… and costumes are no exception! I love holidays and themes, but even so I am always scrambling at the last minute. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays- there are so many opportunities for crafting and creativity. That’s why I made this post- so that my fellow procrastinators can get some quick last minute ideas for halloween costumes!

All these costumes are easy and simple to put together. I tried to use a range that would appeal to women and men of many ages. Some of them can even be made with things you already have at home- perfect for when you need to throw something together at the last minute.

So here are the adorable last minute DIY halloween costumes for you procrastinators:

1. salt and pepper

Simple and sweet! I love this costume idea from evite. It’s perfect to do as a couple or with a friend. You can easily make this using only a solid white or black tshirt, and some felt cut into an S or a P. Add a hot glue gun and you’ve got yourself a 5 minute costume!

2. jack o lantern

A halloween classic! This costume is super easy to throw together using an orange shirt and some duct tape cut into eyes, a nose, and a mouth. This adorable costume inspiration comes from Hello Fashion.

3. pinterest board

This might be my favorite costume idea ever. Who doesn’t love pinterest?! Sheknows really came up with a winner. All you need is something to use as a board- a cork board is ideal, but some cardboard would work just as well. Use some cute red ribbon to hang it around your neck and pin away (with real pushpins)!

4. risky business

This costume is a classic because it’s so easy! You probably have a white button down, and if you don’t, you know someone you can borrow one from. Pair it with some shorts or boxers, crew socks, and sunglasses. This costume photo comes from HalloweenCostumes.com, but it’s so much easier to throw together yourself- and don’t forget to dance!

5. a sim

I know I’m not the only one who loved playing The Sims! Sims are easy to recognize because of the green gem over their heads- so that’s all you need for a Sim costume. Youtuber Classic Splendour gives a great tutorial on how to make an easy Sim costume with just a headband and green paper.

6. netflix and chill

This is a great costume for two people- and it is sure to make people laugh! All you need are some comfy clothes, and don’t forget the netflix and chill shirts- which are conveniently available on Amazon prime!

7. milkshake

Studio DIY does not disappoint with this ADORABLE costume idea. With a white, pink, or brown dress and a headpiece you can become an adorable milkshake. All you need to make the whipped cream head is a headband, cotton backing, a red balloon, and red paper. Who doesn’t love a cherry on top?!

8. mummy

A mummy is a classic costume- and you can go the traditional way with toilet paper, or make something a little more permanent with this tutorial from PopSugar! All you have to do is cut up some old white tshirts into strips and tie them together to make a really cute mummy costume that you can use again.

9. harry potter in muggle clothes

We see Harry Potter costumes every Halloween- but they’re usually wizard robes. Harry wore muggle clothes all the time! Just throw on glasses and a scar, and carry a wand, and you can transform into the boy who lived. You can even carry the Maurauder’s Map or a Broomstick around to make it even more authentic.

10. lawn gnome

This costume is adorable alone or in a group! This adorable group costume comes from twitter user @DevonBall111. Throw on a flannel shirt, and you can make a quick hat and beard using red paper and cotton balls. You can even carry around a fishing pole to complete the whole picture.

11. lumberjacks

This costume from lovely indeed is too cute! Break out the flannel and pair it with your favorite jeans and a beanie. You can even make a costume ax from a paper towel roll and some duct tape!

12. dominoes

This is a great costume to do alone or with a big group! All you need are some felt circles to glue onto a black top and leggings! Use some white duct tape to make the line in the middle. You can also do it the opposite- with black dots on white clothes.

13. skeleton

Martha Stewart never disappoints. This adorable skeleton costume is easy to make- all you need are a white and black shirt and a pair of scissors. Cut a skeleton out of the black shirt and wear it over the white. It’s a perfect last minute costume!

Happy Halloween fellow procrastinators!

Halloween is just around the corner. You better be prepping your decorations and costumes now, because it will be here before you think! I’ve already got my costume in order. It is probably the least crafty costume I’ve made since freshman year of college. I usually love the process of making the costume- but this one was too cute and easy to pass up. Don’t worry, you’ll see what it is eventually. I’m just not ready to tell you quite yet.

Halloween can be spooky, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m a fan of cute halloween. I love any excuse for cute decorations and crafts!

So, in honor of halloween, here are 5 adorable halloween crafts to inspire you!

1. Gourd Ghosts

These ghosts from House of Hawthorne may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. And they are so easy. All you have to do is paint the gourds white and add their faces, then cover them with a cheesecloth. Seriously, so adorable.

2. Hanging Bat

Who knew bats could be so adorable? Apparently the genius behind this craft, Buggy and Buddy, that’s who. With an old toilet paper roll, some paint, construction paper, googley eyes, and pipe cleaners, you can make these cute bats to hang all over the place!

3. Drilled Pumpkins

If you’re anything like me, no matter how crafty, you always mess up pumpkins. There’s just something about them. Well, this method is foolproof! Anyone can hold a drill to a pumpkin. Way easier than a knife. Thanks to The Garden Glove for this awesome halloween decoration.

4. Mummy Cups

You can use some toilet paper rolls, white fabric scraps, and googley eyes to make the cutest mummies you’ve ever seen. Outnumbered sure makes it look easy! You could even use some cans or mason jars to create the same effect.

5. Candy Corn Mason Jars

You won’t believe how easy these adorable candy corn mason jars are. With white, yellow, and orange spray paint, using Mason Jar Crafts Love’s method, anyone could certainly make these!

Okay, seriously. I knew Halloween could be cute, but these are just to stinkin cute. I can’t get enough. What’s your favorite Halloween craft?
