Crazy About Cricut Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!!

Welcome to The Fall/Halloween Blog Hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team! Hopefully you just came from the talented Sharon from Simply Sweet by Sharon. If not, please head on over to see our hop hostess Jenny at Crazy About Cricut so you can start from the beginning :)

For my Halloween project, I made a Happy Haunting garland. It's so hard to photograph garlands well because they're so LONG, but hopefully you get the idea :) This was all done using the Happy Hauntings cart on my Cricut, I love all the awesome Halloween images and fonts on there!
For each letter, I cut a tombstone then inked the edges in white, so they kind of glow a little, then tied the top with orange ribbon. Then I cut a spider web as a background and put the glittery letters up on pop dots. The whole thing is strung on black yarn and then in between the letters and bats I tied some white gauzy tulle and a black ribbon. When it's all hanging there, the tulle kind of looks spider web-like so that was fun!

I cut out each bat and then I added some red stickles to the eyes for something just a little different. My son was the one who gave me this idea to make a bat garland, and he was so excited that we now have "flying bats" in our living room!
